How long is it before Israeli technology is given to Egypt and Jordan by the US and sold to the Gulf States?

Israel and the US need to sit down adn talk like adults about technology. Istead they are playing stupid games.
Israel seeks Chinese support. (Although China will reverse engineer the weapons and sell them to the Arabs) Likewise the Arabs and Pakistanis sell US weapons to China.
The US won't declare China an enemy and Israel won't tell the SU to stop giving top-line weapons to the Arabs.

"Likewise the Arabs and Pakistanis sell US weapons to China."

That's why the fleet of F-16s was never delivered to Pakistan.

"The US won't declare China an enemy and Israel won't tell the SU to stop giving top-line weapons to the Arabs."

Boy don't I know it. I wish we had a government that would askwoledge the threat that the ChiComs represent. As to the Arabs. The US didn't start providing "top-line" weapons to then until the peace initiates (primarily Camp David). Without providing the Arabs with miliatry H/W it would be politically dificult to provide Israel with any either. In peace talks the Arabs said, "stop providing Israel with weapons" to which we said, "we will not, but we will provide you with some as well". If you were on that hot seat what would you say?
