Given that the US government is increasingly inclined to hold hands with (dubya) and bow to (zero) those who pull the jihads’ strings, perhaps it were best that Israel not be beholden to America for anything.
That is my take, or better said I think Israel is approaching that point in time.
I also sort of think that “welfare” be it domestic, or international, is incredibly corrosive to the Societies that receive it, I’m not speaking of selling the Israeli’s advanced military technology as they must have that to leverage their military capacities, I am thinking of the idea that it would be better for the Israelis to develop their own tech to sell to the rest of the world and strengthen themselves thereby.
When Israel first became a State they had to scrounge for whatever military equipment they could find, including using fmr Messerschmit P-109’s and Thompson sub machine guns, that forced them to develop their own internal capacities and they then developed the Uzi and Galil rifles, now with US aid, they appear to be using M-4 carbines.
To me, that is a move in retrograde, they may never be able to build f-22’s, but to me it should be a point of pride that Israeli Soldiers use small arms designed and built by Israeli industries..imho.
What would be best would be for MORE Americans to become involved in the electoral process in an intelligent and informed manner and cease electing idiot globalists of limited intellect to office.
That MIGHT just counter the influence of the evil international globalist corporations whose only sense of “patriotism” is tied to how much profit they can accrue.
