“We’re still giving Israel billions of dollars and military equipment.”
Israel paid cash for these weapons.
L
Yes, they did. And joebama delaying the delivery of paid for weapons and ammunition (and JDAM kits which go on bombs Israel already has) is first, a violation of the agreed contract the US has by treaty with Israel. joebama is violating the LAW, as the treaty was reviewed and approved by the Senate in particular (hence McConnell’s comments today that it should not be delayed- violating Senate’s approval of the treaty).
Isn’t it odd that obamaumao used a Hague court “decision” against the US as the US never delivered F-16s and other items to the Shah of Iran (who was deposed by the Iranian looney mullahs who brought the case the money was owed back to Iran... not the Shah’s Iran but to THEM!!). Obamaumao directed US Treasury (without Senate approval on the Hague Court decision ruled) to send billions in CASH on USAF C-17s to Tehran. CASH not wire transfers, but Cash. And to be sure obamaumao got a skim of that cash which was NOT inventoried, shrinkwrapped on pallets. Appalling. Now a demonrat is witholding already paid for weapons and ammo— and if doesn’t deliver will violate the same Hague Court decision, if they would honor Israel’s claim on the payment refunding.
Israel and Egypt both receive an annual stipend from the US government after both agreed under a Kissinger agreement to the demilitarization of the Sinai and an Israeli withdrawal. It has worked well for nearly fifty years to keep the peace between Egypt and Israel, and in great part accounts for Egypt’s hands-off policy with regard to the present circumstance in Gaza.
