Thank you for bringing clarity and common sense to an area of sometimes acrimonious debate.
I still wonder if the administration's current about face re Hamas and Abbas was caused by this situation, or if it is merely being invoked as a cover.
PS: If Taiwan is no longer anti-Israel, why doesn't Israel sell to it? It is in a very similar position, as the Israelis themselves once pointed out. Of course its Mideast policy may still be dictated by Riyadh for all I know, but I doubt if technology shipped to Taiwan would wind up as quickly being used to kill Americans and Israelis in the Middle East.

I don't know a thing about relations between the ROC and Israel. I do know that Taiwan does have modified versions of an Israel designed corvette, the Sa'ar V. However, these were built in the US.
Taiwan could certainly US ISraeli help. Their F-5's and even Indiginous Fighters could use better avionics and weapons. They really could use the Derby light medium ranged missle and the Python 5, which is the best ir-guided missle in production.
Taiwan could use help to develop or deploy cruise missles to attack Chinese military facilities.
Of course, Taiwan also needs to increase its military budget.
