My ignorance is showing.

Why is America so buddy-buddy with Isreal? I mean, is it the abrahamic thing? The holocaust? Aside from being a semi-friendly country in a sea of sand, what does America actually get out of the deal?

no idea outside of the talibangelicals A La James Dobson who believe that Israel is literally a "holy land". The official line seems to be that "stability in the mid east" is the responsibility of the free world, and I think Israel buys a lot of weapons which keep US weapons factory workers employed...

So, America gets a powerful, well armed ally in the mid east to help protect their oil interests, a well funded customer for its war machine, and a "promised land " for its Jewish and evangelical populations - which represent a significant number of voters...
