"US wants a veto on Israel arms sales for 98% reasons of competition."

How can you be taken seriously with that comment? I support Israel just as most freepers do but that doesn't excuse some of their decisions with respect to arms sales. Competition? They are reselling our technology. If we wanted to end the competition we could be much more direct. Like it or not we supply Israel so the idea that they have a right to compete falls on deaf ears.

Wrong. There is sometimes a disagreement with Israel regarding agreements of technology trasfer as there was recently, now completely resolved.

Israel either sells its own technology, or when US tech is involved, with permission.

Why should Israel not sell India anything it wants, when the US sells nuclear technology to them. India is not an enemy of the US. And considering US sales to China, neither is China.

The Europeans, including the British sell to all these countries in a manner that dwarfs Israel, but that's never discussed.

Israel would not even need an arms industry if it didn't need to produce arms to fight possible wars against enemies who are armed to the gills by the United States.

You're wasting your breath. Some of the individuals on this thread are apologists for Israel at all costs. They know it's wrong, but they don't care. They're the same ones that post the "Free Johnathan Pollard" posts. A traitor to our country.
