IMHO, nations like Israel depend on the US war industrial base.
Unfortunately for them, that makes US politicians have influence over them.
Some of these weapon systems are complex and a small nation of 9,000,000 people can’t realistically afford or have the broad tech and industrial capabilities to build all of these things.
Think of it like this, Israel is like the state of New Jersey, that’s it. Would that state if it’s own nation really have the ability to build all these different and complex weapons systems, in mass?
Israel does well, and they have a big domestic military industrial base given their size, but they are largely dependent on us.
FYI- By withholding weapons from Israel we are violating an agreement with them. Once again we just do whatever we want because there is no one to hold us accountable, no real near peer competitor. And because the MSM is pro-Democrat, they don’t roast him in this issue.

Maybe they should depend on themselves.
I'm sick of the U.S. baby-sitting them.
We have homeless veterans with missing limbs living on the streets who have fought these forever wars.
Enough!

Ya think?

Israel has the most advanced defensive apparatus security system in the world. How goat-humping Muslims managed to invade the country on 10/07 on cheap paragliders, I don't know, but I have my thoughts.

What the Hell are you drinking and smoking? Israel is arguably the world's leader in water desalinization and on the cutting edge of healthcare procedures and emergency trauma. If they can do these things, surrounded by Muslims and confined to a state the size of NJ, they can build their own weaponry.

Good for them. I'm all for Israel defending itself, usually against those mean-old innocent Palestinian women and children that they gun down randomly and then blame on Hamas, but they have a right to defend themselves nevertheless.

Make it treaty-based then. Stop with this nonsense that we have to protect them at all costs to the detriment of our taxpayers and military.
