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.

I have absolutely no beef with Israel...I have been an active supporter of Israel even when it was not fashionable to do so (many years ago in India). I think Israel and India are natural allies in the fight against global Islamic terror and rightly so!

However, the Israeli transfer of technology to China is troubling. And no, the US does not sell sensitive military technology to China (unless we factor in that traitorous pervert BJ Clinton) because to do so would be stupid.

"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."

Now you're simply off your rocker. The US is now responsible for Israel needing to defend itself? Oh I forgot, it's Bush's fault. Who is it that Israel is defending itself against that has been supplied in material ways by the US in the last 15 years? Egypt? Saudi Arabia? Jordan? Israel is defending itself against terrorists for the most part. There is not much of a threat of them losing a war and the biggest fear is Iran and their nuclear threat. The biggest risk to us is China and that little bit of idiocy on Israel's part will be in the long term memory banks....fortunately for them there's only space there for a couple of items and I'll forget in say 40 years. I'd also suggest it has not been resolved satisfactorily.

With all due reason that is meaningless.
We do not approve of any arms sales to China, irrespective of whose tech it is, even including the EU.
I am aware that Clinton sold out this country, but surely you aren't citing that as president for the Israeli - China connection.

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.

Now that is hogwash. Our selling arms to any of Israel's enemies ensures that they will never be used against them

Or are you saying that Israel is threatened militarily by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan?

Her enemies are Iran and Syria, and we certainly do not sell arms to them.
In fact, we just wiped Iraq off the board. - not the actions of someone who arms her enemies to the teeth.

Like it or not without the US there would be no Israel, and thats the way that it is and has been since 1955 or so.
