re: #307 pingjockey

I just wonder, how much does Israel really need our foreign aid? They have a really good homegrown arms industry. I guess the only thing they really need from us is fighter jets.

They need it badly especially in case of a real shooting war that lasts more than a week. They also need our political cover or the sanctions would come raining down from a still very anti-semitic world. It sucks to be Israel sometimes.
