Message to Israel:Stop selling weapons to the communist chinese. Actually, after the US complained, Israel nixed their deals with China, and agreed to screen future deals through the US. Get your facts straight.

Actually they only nixed the drones deal after we nailed their asses to the wall. Sanctions for 6 to 9 months from late 04 into the third quarter of 05, canceling joint exercises, and the nail in the coffin was the F35 fighter project worth billions. Then and only then did Israel see the light. How about the missiles on the Chinese jet fighter that crashed into our AWAC and the satellite issue? I will support Israel despite this but I will call them on it and support sanctions and other efforts to curtail these activities in the future. I do believe however that this F35 issue will have resonance for many years and I believe several Israeli officials lost their jobs over the drone deal.
