Wahsington— The Obama administration has imposed obstacles on Israeli efforts to procure U.S.-origin fighter-jets.
Administration sources said the White House has drafted measures that could prevent Israel and other non-NATO allies from procuring U.S. fighter-jets, including the F-35. They said the administration would require that Israel obtain special permission from the Defense Department and State Department to acquire the Joint Strike Fighter.
The administration has also been resisting Israeli requests for technical data on the new F-15SE fighter-jet.
Under the proposals, the Pentagon would order modifications of JSF to provide the aircraft with nuclear strike capabilities. The sources said such a capability would provide the Pentagon with access to government budgets to maintain and develop the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

You might want to take a look at this...
When Tel Aviv is a smoldering cinder, I hope American Jews will realize the blood is on their hands.
The IDF will adapt, improvise, and overcome..
Israel would sell the tech to China, who would then share it with the Pakis. Israel knows how to build their own fighters.
The morons who voted for thiis prince of darkness will start whining “How can this have happened?”
In 2006 the World Tribune reported:
“China has U.S. anti-missile tech, via transfer from Israel”

Perhaps, that transfer of technology from israel to China has something to do with the current policy of the US.

The list, ping
No. Perhaps it is because our Muslim President hates Israel and supports the Arabs. Like some Freepers, apparently. Israel is our only real friend in the Middle East. The Saudis, Egyptians, and other “moderate” Arab states would screw us if they thought they could get away with it. The Saudis provided most of the 9/11 hijackers.
And perhaps the new administration has been planning this all along.
Then, they will blame George Bush.
Americans have sold more technology to China than Israel has, I’m just saying... One was named Clinton I think!
American “Jews” who vote for ‘rats are LIBERALS first and foremost, perhaps ethnic Jews a distant second, and observant religious Jews a very, very distant third.
If Israel didn’t exist, the USA would be the FIRST target of the ME Jihadists, and not just the second.
Israel, in effect, is our deflector shield.
Bambi’s actions speak to his true heart. He is a closet muzzie until he feels free to be himself. The buzzing of lower Manhattan was a probe to see what happened.
I am not a Jew, but my wife and children are Jewish. My father-in-law served in the Israeli Army and I support Israel.
However, we are all Americans first and there is some technologies that should not be shared with other states. Moreover, if that state has a history of sharing weapons technology with China, must be very careful in what technology is shared.
Does Israel have a domestic manufacturer jet engines suitable for high-performance combat jets?
He first resigned as head of the Defense Policy Board around May of 2003 when it became clear that his predictions and forecasts about the miltiary campaign in Iraq turned out to be completely wrong. He resigned from the Board entirely about a year later because he had simply become an embarrassment to the Bush administration after it was revealed that -- while he had access to sensitive information related to national security in the Pentagon -- he had been working as a lobbyist for a Red Chinese front company (Hutchison Wampoa) in their attempts to secure a Defense Department waiver that would enable them to acquire the trans-Pacific fiber-optic assets of Global Crossing.
I say f#%& all of them.
