German F-124 class destroyer (frigate in German parlance)

The Germans build excellent military hardware and Israel will need them at some point.

They should have given them those ships gratis. I can think of a few appropriate names for them as well.

I can second that, but it’s not personal for me.

Indeed. Germans arming Jews and Russian Christians praying for the conversion of Godless Americans.
I'm not sure if 'upside down,' or 'inside out' is the better description of what's going on.

It was either the French or English that did the same thing but reneged on the deal after Israel paid for them. I’m thinking French. I have a hard time dealing with both countries.

Never gave a reason why did they? Wonder who pressured them?
It is for sure they shouldn’t buy them here in the US. What a shame. Frankly, I’d get someone like Hyundai to build them... they usually break the rules and manage to combine good, fast and cheap (good value).

After the USA, Germany is Israel’s largest trading partner.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel maintains especially close ties to Israel.

Blohm&Voss make some good Schiffs.

With the $2+ billion Foreign Military Assistance we give Israel every year, they can afford it.

The Germans were pretty rough on the Jews in the 20’s-40’s. They will carry that guitl as a society for many years to come....just as we do for slavery.
Even though the modern governments of both countries had nothing to do with those atrocities. It’s a stain that will take hundreds of years to go away....from a political standpoint.
I’m sure Jewish politicians similar to Al Sharpton exist in Germany stirrig up the emotions and dividing the people, but accomplishing little else.

Fair trade then for all the assistance the US give Israel’s enemies.

As did the English in 1948. They turned over all their weapons to the Arabs when they left.
