Arab metal thieves? Terror-related agents? Such pure unadulterated hogwash! So, Arab metal thieves managed to get entire engines from an Israeli military installation?
This is what happened. A corrupt Israeli official sold them to contacts working for the Chinese. Not to 'Arab metal dealers' or 'terrorists.' Chinese.
My support for Israel is absolute. 100% pro Israel. But I am not stupid. There are some areas that are not water tight, and in the past there has been some clear leakage of technology (eg the Lavi fighter prototype that is one of the fathers of the Chinese J-10).
Such a ray of pure clarity is always a relief from the fetid, swirling miasma of propaganda and ignorance that gets churned out daily by the media news organizations.
