Regardless of the source, it's a fact the U.S. has built up Israel's military and Israel has sold and/or wishes to sell sensitive technology to our enemies. Of course Clinton has done the same, as has some corporations in the U.S. I also detest this!
Hypocrite. Life isn't always symmetrical in the world of realpolitik. Until the U.S. maintains it's own symmetry with respect to China, then you have no business mouthing hypocritical bleatings regarding Israel:
Bush to Share Missile Defense Plans with China
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will brief China on its plans to test a new missile defense system in an effort to win Beijing's acceptance, a White House spokesman said on Sunday.
U.S. officials will share information on their missile defense plans with the Chinese as part of an outreach effort in preparation for President Bush (news - web sites)'s trip to Beijing next month, said Sean McCormack, a spokesman for the National Security Council.
``We are going to talk to them about our missile defense plans (and) explain to them that this is designed to protect us from rogue nations and accidental launch,'' McCormack said in confirming a report outlined in Sunday's Washington Post.
The spokesman at the same time denied a report in The New York Times that said the administration was also planning to drop its objections to China building up its small nuclear arsenal in a bid get Beijing's support for U.S. missile defense.
``There is not a linkage between the two,'' McCormack said. ''If there is a build-up, then we will take that into account in our own military planning.''
Arms analysts estimate China has about two dozen nuclear missiles capable of reaching the United States.
Bush's advisers concluded that China's nuclear modernization is inevitable and they could gain advantage by acquiescing to it, the Times said.
McCormack also denied reports in both newspapers that said as part of the new effort the United States and China might also discuss resuming underground nuclear tests to ensure the reliability of their arsenals.
BROADER PUSH TO WIN CHINESE ACCEPTANCE
The spokesman said the briefings are part of a broader push to win Chinese acceptance of the U.S. missile defense system and ``make it very clear to them that missile defense is not aimed at them.''
The briefings will be ``at a consultative level,'' similar to those given to European and Russian officials, he added.
In proposing a missile defense system, Bush has cited the threat from countries like North Korea (news - web sites), Iraq and Iran, and is eager to deploy a shield including missiles launched from ships and lasers fired from modified Boeing 747 aircraft.
But the plans would violate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty, and have been firmly resisted by China, Russia and many European allies who fear a renewed arms race.
After the Pentagon (news - web sites) conducted a successful test in July, China's official Xinhua news agency said missile defense would ''not only spark a new arms race, but also threaten world peace and security and stimulate nuclear proliferation.''
The reports of the administration efforts drew a skeptical response on Sunday from at least one Republican senator, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.
Just returned from a trip to China, Specter challenged the wisdom of any move that would strengthen Beijing's nuclear hand and said he intended to talk to the White House.
``I would not like to see the Chinese expand their nuclear capability,'' Specter, a leading Republican on the Senate Appropriations foreign operations subcommittee, told the CBS ''Face the Nation'' program.
``We are looking at a country with 1.25 billion people and they are the coming colossus of the world and a superpower,'' he said. ``I would not like to see them become any more powerful in the nuclear line. I think we ought to formulate our policy in many different ways to try to avoid just that.''

Why do I almost never see anyone of the rabid "kill all Palestinians" group accept some responsibility for their own groups past actions?
Not wholesale destruction more like wholesale transfer to other Arab lands as proposed by this wise Arab a number of years ago (after all, that's the only thing to be done with a nazified population):
In 1939, Mojli Amin, a member of the Arab Defense Committee for Palestine, drew up a proposal, published in Damascus and distributed among Arab leaders, entitled "Exchange of Populations." Amin proposed that
"all the Arabs of Palestine shall leave and be divided up among the neigboring Arab countries. In exchange for this, all the Jews living in Arab countries will go to Palestine...The exchange of populations should be carried out in the same way that Turkey and Greece exchanged their populations. Special committees must be set up to deal with the liquidation of Jewish and Arab property....I fear, in truth, that the Arabs will not agree...But in spite of this, I take upon myself the task of convincing them..."(from the Central Zionist Archives-525/5630).
You're a real piece of work. Call anyone who disagrees with your view of land aquisition a Nazi. Typical!
Those nasty Palestinians, just happened to occupy your land before you got there.
I mention in two posts that the US has passed much to China and you have the gall to still call me a hypocrite. I would submit that after the US has given Israel its life, through weapons transfers, military support and money, they should be at least grateful enough not to sell our advanced weapons to our enemies. Anyone doing this might be labelled an ingrate!
