WASHINGTON - The Obama administration has blocked Israel's request for advanced U.S.-origin attack helicopters.

Government sources said the administration has held up Israel's request for the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopter. The sources said the request was undergoing an interagency review to determine whether additional Longbow helicopters would threaten Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Exactly! Unless the relationship between American Jews and Israeli Jews is like American Catholics and real Catholics. A title of convenience and not substance.

“If Israel is so bad-ass, why do they need our hardware?”

Actually they don’t. They don’t even need us.

WTF?

I still can’t believe that this Country elected a muslim sympathizer after 9/11.

But I am still amazed by his brazen acts. He knows no one is willing to take him to task and goes about his agenda carte blanche.

Seems to me the Jewish Democrats, feeling safe in their liberal imagination, like to pretend that they are exempt from the Muslim hate. The lesson of Hitler has been forgotten.

"Need time to design, develop and manufacture. Things are happening too fast there .... "

So like, 56 plus years wasn't enough time to develop and build their own helicopters?

Come on. That isn't it. I think we both know what the issue is, and what the expectation was. Obama doesn't want to give Israel American military aid, and Israel was stupid to think Obama would continue the policy of American taxpayer funded military aid to Israel.

Obama is just showing what he truly is, A Muslim who just can't stand the thought of giving Jews aid. It puts a bad taste in his mouth.

Screw Obama. This imbecile will bring God’s wrath down on this country - in fact, he is probably part of it.

"Actually they don’t. They don’t even need us."

Uh huh. I guess all these years of US foreign aid was just for laughs.

The Israelis, like the United States are getting what they deserve.I read in the newspaper, saw on t.v. ,and heard on the radio that citizens in Israel with relatives that were U.S. citizens were calling them [the U.S. citizen] to vote for obama. The people in the U.S., including the fools that voted for obama are going to get it also . Very soon.

"Remember the 6 day war when Israel defeated Egypt with a fraction of the air power and equipment that Egypt had. G-d is on Israel’s side."

God is on the side of those who obey his word. God is pretty clear about how those living in his land are to conduct themselves.
