“The United States is offering Israel $3.5 billion to $3.7 billion a year in military assistance over a decade, a major increase from current levels....”

Obama is making major increases in aid to Israel??? Wow!

yes but none of these little details will matter one whit
once his Iranian IslamoNazi comrade pals finish deploying their Nuclear Bomb ICBM’s (all of their announced targets are cities in USA, incidentally....)

THAT’s his real agenda, destroy America. Israel, Europe, UK are all on his list, yes indeed. But USA is his Numero Uno for annhilation

Actually I find this article to be fascinating. For once, Obama is stressing made in the U.S.A. - in regards to our defense industry.
The last I heard, one of Trump’s main platform points is to return manufacturing back to the U.S.

I tend to believe Obama is more sympathetic to the Saudi/Wahabbi branch of Islam.

"For once, Obama is stressing made in the U.S.A."
don't be fooled. He and his administration are the devil's mouthpiece. ALWAYS. Screw him and anyone stupid enough to support anything but trial for treason, regarding Obama, Clintong and their supporters. There will be NO healing after this election.

Intertesting thought....
yes .... he has shown Tremendous support for both his Iranian Sh’ia(t) IslamoNazi comrades AND the Wha-habist extremists (Sunnis) of Arabia/Moslem Brotherhood mass-murder gangesters in Egypt (also Sunnis), “PA”/PLO murder gangsters in Isarel, etc. etc. etc.

he always seems to find the absolutely worst, most murderous and dangerous Moslem gangs to support.... whether Sh’ia OR Sunni (His apparent indifference as between Sh’ia and Sunni has always been a minor point of mystery for me....but he IS consistent about finding, or creating sometimes... and then supporting, arming, financing, training, and protecting....the very very most rabid, anti=American, anti=Christian, Moslem murder gangs...no matter whether Shia or Sunni.

while undermining our own defenses and those of our allies, of course

Note that he is in league with virtually every Western European leader in flooding the West with Muslims. A red carpet welcome.

this is a bad deal for Israel. American money comes with more than strings, it comes with hamstrings. It is long past time for Israel to cut the ties that bind.

If I were Israel, I’d be looking for a firm defense alliance with India, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. Together they can form a joint development group and market for each other’s tech. Israel has the most advanced drones on the planet. They are also the largest manufacturer of drones. That market alone could earn them back more than the lost income from Uncle Sugar.

I was directly involved on both sides of manufacturing for foreign military sales and as a former employee of Israel’s, at the time, largest defense contractor. They took US stuff and improved it.

Thank you for referencing that article Tours. Please note that the following critique is directed at Congress and not at you.

Patriots, although I support the idea of Congress supporting Israel in principle, note that Justice Joseph Story had indicated that the Founding States never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to provide foreign aid to anybody.

“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833) .

Next, regardless that the referenced article is vilifying Obama with respect to Israel, note that the Founding States gave the federal “power of the purse” uniquely to the House of Representatives as evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I. So even if the states had expressly constitutional delegated to the feds the specific power to support foreign nations like Israel, it remains that the decision to support or not support Israel is ultimately up to Congress imo, not the POTUS.

In other words, last-term, lawless Obama is arguably allowing corrupt Congress to use him as its “useful idiot” by doing Congress’s dirty work for it. And by letting Obama do its dirty work concerning Israel for it, corrupt lawmakers are able to keep their voting records clean so that they can fool low-information patriots into reelecting them imo.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will either put a stop to unconstitutional federal spending, or petition the states for the constitutional authority to justify such spending.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
