This transaction Israel can ill afford.

Yes, but isn't that what vendor financing and the Export-Import bank are for?

“Procuring the most advanced fighter jet in the world is a significant step towards bolstering the state of Israel’s military capability,”

Last that I knew, the F-22 line was shut down, and, in any case we weren’t selling them to anybody.

So, Israel buying the most advanced jet fighter would be a good thing! Get production resumed and soon, since I suspect that we’ll need it.

On the other hand, forcing them to buy the second class F-35 would be a flat ripoff, which would be par for the course with the current administration.

No, bank loans must be repaid, don't they? Or did you mean aid?

Finally, it's not buying from US but buying this particular aircraft that is in question, isn't it?
