Is the US Eroding Israel's Qualitative Edge?
Israel National News ^ | 3/25/10 | Avi Yellin

Posted on 03/25/2010 10:51:22 AM PDT by Nobel_1

The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) revealed in a January report that was updated recently that the government of Israel has been concealing a change in arms policy by the United States against the Jewish state. The Institute further stated that the Likud-led government of Binyamin Netanyahu has also refrained from protesting massive American weapons sales to Arab states in the region, an initiative that has eroded Israel’s military edge over its neighbors.

The Institute reports that over the last year, the Obama administration has refused to approve any major Israeli weapons requests. Government sources asserted that the refusal represents a new White House policy to link arms sales to the Jewish state with the Netanyahu government’s willingness to submit on Washington’s demands that Israel surrender Judea, Samaria and most of Jerusalem to the American-backed Palestinian Authority.

Damn - that 8.8 Chile Earthquake has caused the world to turn upside down. The U.S. is supporting Islamo-facists while turning it’s back on our only ally (and only true democracy) in the Middle East. The song, “We didn’t Start the Fire” is playing in the background.

It always appears that American Christians support Israel much more than American Jews do. (Not universal, but considering that anyone that votes Democratic in essence votes against Israel...what else can we think?)

"Binyamin Netanyahu has also refrained from protesting massive American weapons sales to Arab states in the region, an initiative that has eroded Israel’s military edge over its neighbors."

But American Jews will still be Obama zombies and vote for leftist (communist) Democrats.

Re: Christian support for Israel

Good observation. I guess the Jews don’t need the Christians to explain their existence, but Christians cannot explain their existence without the Jews (Jesus was a Jew).

Easiest way for Israel to regain the edge is to either reverse engineer the blueprints from existing stock and contract with India and/or China to build them.

Or to have the Mossad steal the plans and then do the same.

China would initially be the more willing partner in this, but India would be a deeper and longer lasting partner.

I did not know that. Thanks.

Then no more TV. It is the Internet only for me until the Revolution to restore the Constitution!

I will settle for a new U.S. Administration in 2013!

After that, everything will fall into place.
