What a waste of good airplanes. The IDF will just shoot them down without breaking a sweat.

You beat me to it. Having the hardware and being able to use it to the limits of its design are 2 different things.

If regular EAF pilots are flying them, they will seek asylum and land. If MBs are flying them they will be nothing but targets.

Wanna guess what the ROEs will be for IAF fighters and missile batteries when these planes are spotted approaching Israeli airspace or ships in the Med?

The Israelis won't have to shoot them down.From what I hear the f-16 is a high maintence aircraft.From what my brother told me when he was a helicopter flight instructor for the Army, muslims do not believe in performing maintence on aircraft. They say that it is beneath their dignty, it iswork for infidels. He said that you could not get one to do a preflight check on aaircraft. He hated to have them in his class.

just let the muslims fly them for a while and they will start falling out of the air from lack of maintence.

I agree. These F-16s will become easy targets for IDF Pilots.

That is the most likely scenario, but we do have a long-standing habit of training a lot of Arabs to fly our platforms. Might be an occassional Ace among them to cause Israel some grief.
