Just last week, Israeli officials said that they “understand” the growing budget problems the US is facing and were comfortable with being part of the military aid cuts from sequestration.
Yet now, Israeli officials have shifted that position and are not only opposing the cuts but are demanding a significant increase in US military aid, insisting the nation has “growing security requirements.”
The Israeli officials are arguing that because of growing US arms exports to Arab nations, they need even more luxurious US gifts themselves, saying it’s essential to maintain overwhelming military superiority over anyone across the region.
The US has been making a big deal of selling advanced warplanes to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC, and even though those nations aren’t remotely hostile to Israel, officials seem contented that they can still use it as an excuse to strap another load onto the American gravy train.
Jealously, what a bunch of cry babies!
You would think that the Israelis had more pride, but they don´t, they run around year after year, all year long with their hands out, begging from their "best friend" the USA. You would think too that the Americans had more pride, but they don´t, Israelis demands more and more money and the US gives in, year after year, all year long.
This is indeed a strange relationship, both sides totally lacking character.
Decrease aid to one red cent per year, demand they comply with all UN resolutions, no more grant aid, no tax breaks for their bonds, register AIPAC as an agent for a foreign government, demand they disarm, and apply sanctions if they fail to comply, their terrorists be turned over for prosecution, open inspections of their nuclear facilities, and threaten them daily with attack and invasion if they do not come to the table and meet all those demands up front.
The U$ cash cow udder$ are shredded, infected, festered, shrunken, and lumpy. and BIG BABY still wants to clamp down and be a permanent parasite.
Time to turn off the spigot for Israel. Ron Paul is right… Rand Paul was right till he rolled over.
