Engine returns: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, no family-rhyme matches turn up, the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Lyric returns: a workaday word.

Why israeli rhymes the way it does
Israeli is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1707, assonance 5,052, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Israeli is a word that benefits from the second pass.
