If you value 6m lives at $100K apiece, that’s $600b. I doubt Germany’s aid to Israel will ever approach that amount on an inflation-adjusted basis, never mind the fact that it also looted their property, which may have brought the total amount to $1T. But you can always find Germans who’ll bellyache about Israelis making a living off the Holocaust industry.

Israel’s existing top-of-the-line Sa’ar-5 class missile corvettes were constructed by the American firm Northrup-Grumman.

Did Obummer sink any prospective deal, whereas Germany was helpful in securing a deal?

Perhaps the Israelis were worried about buying from us?
