US to give Israel $38 billion

[Zaroku]

So Israel can buy us made weapons. There are strings attached.

[Left Hook Tua]

This is the biggest pledge of US military assistance made to any country. Under the current pact, we give Israel $3.1 billion a year. ********* had originally wanted $4.5 billion a year. We need to cut millitary aid to Egypt and the Saudis too. Taking the middle class tax dollars to fund this garbage is ***in ******. Were talking Billions here, not millions.

We don't give aid to the saudis.

They're the world's biggest arms BUYERS.

Please don't talk about things you know little about.

Pretty much.

I remember when Israel designed it's own fighter.

The lavi.

And making copies of French mirage 3s.

The nesher.

How do ppl think the us got them to stop and instead buy us f-15 and f-16 and now f-35?

US tax payers are going to give Israel $38 billion for a 10 year span for weapons. Gee, I wonder what $38 BILLION could do to help our own country. ***in bullshlt.

You are the only guy I can relate to on this level. Most posters shy away from Israel/U.S. military arms relations, and geopolitics.

yup they look at israel as a sanctuary etc. and make "missionary" trips etc

[Amazinger]

That's for 10 years, And with strings attached. Most of them will likely go back to the U.S. via arms sale.
They can't use it to buy fuel for their jets.
can't use it to buy falafel
can't use it to buy gefilte fish.
can't use it to built new settlement.
can't use it to give handouts to ***** and fatah.



tsk.tsk.tsk.

The Christian Right read the bible, bless Israel and GOD will bless you, curse them and....

Israel's biggest enemy is the Taliban and Isis. They might need more than money.
