I wonder if this will make Israel change their mind about selling so much military equipment to China?? (Israel is the 2nd largest supplier of military hardware to China, second only to Russia.)

It should also make us rethink all that military aid to Israel. They get our technology, then resell it to China. Convenient. As I consider America and Israel to be the best of allies, I would hope that Israel would reconsider this selling of their (and our) national security to a nation who is without a doubt our greatest threat.

They should rethink their relationship with China, indeed. Some US related items that Israel wants to use for export are usually in need of US approval.

Though Israel could state many of your arguments in terms of US armaments and foreign aid to Egypt (Egypt gets the second most foreign aid from the US) and the rest of the Arab world (including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Palestinian Authority etc.) which are all bent on pusing Israel into the sea.
