Irresponsible speculation on implausible diplomatic revolutions

Awhile ago, I speculated irresponsibly about the highly unlikely possibility of Obama going full Hitler-Stalin Pact and dumping Israel in favor of Iran. Or, to frame the possibility in less inflammatory terms, there always exists a tiny potential for a diplomatic revolution akin to the mid-1970s reversal in which the Soviets flipped Ethiopia and the U.S. then picked up Ethiopia's enemy, formerly Soviet-backed Somalia. 

Today, I'm going to free associate about whom Israel might sign up as its new allies in the implausible eventuality it ever loses the global hyperpower as its ally. Presumably, the government of Israel maintains contingency plans for all such possibilities, so let's guess at what they might be.

If the American president were to take adamant steps against Israeli occupation of the West Bank, I'm sure the top priority for the Israeli government would be to help its friends in America place a more satisfactory individual in the White House, rather as George H.W. Bush's attempt to penalize Israel financially if it continued to support West Bank settling was followed by the elder Bush having the opportunity to spend more time with his family.

But, if that were to fail, what would be next on the diplomatic front?

Israel's more aggressive policies get little support in the United Nations from anybody other than the United States and a few random countries, especially Pacific microstates such as Palau and Nauru. Unfortunately, scraping all the guano off Nauru has lowered its elevation, thus making it more vulnerable to disappearing beneath the waves in case of global warming, which would cost Israel a reliable vote in the General Assembly.

Presumably, there are other countries whose General Assembly votes could be acquired, for whatever that's worth (mostly, I presume, as flanking for a major power's votes). Having the whole world against you, like the late Rhodesia, gets to be a drag.

But having a big power on your side is key. So, which one would be next for Israel?

China, of course, is first on most people's minds. Yet, I'm just not seeing it. China's foreign policy strategy appears to be to have its way with resource-rich African countries, many of which have large fractions of Muslims. Mineowners generally aren't popular with the masses, especially not foreign ones. So, if you are Beijing, why poke your finger in the Israel-Palestine hornet's nest when things are going smoothly at present for you in part-Muslim Africa? For China to align with Israel could stir up populist resentment in African countries.

Even though India is something like 13% Muslim, it might be a possible ally for Israel, especially if the Hindu nationalist BJP opposition party comes to power.

The most plausible road to Israel obtaining a Security Council veto vote if it lost its American one is through Moscow. There are hundreds of thousands of Russians in Israel, many of them in important positions. There are hundreds of thousands of Jews in Russia, many of them prosperous. Further, Russia, which always worries about its path to ice-free oceans, has its only Mediterranean naval base in Syria, and it may lose that. 

Putin and Netanyahu are not all that far apart ideologically. Putin is always looking for ways for Russia to successfully resist America's corrosive soft power and recommendations, and Israel is a worthy role model in that regard. Israel is the world champ at paying no attention to the American Establishment's thinking (such as it is) on domestic questions like population policy, undocumented workers, border fences, and so forth.
