Thanks SeekAndFind.
This would benefit Israel and its defense industry, because it would not have to buy all its weaponry from the US
No, in fact, it wouldn't, because the aid to Israel is in effect given in kind -- a few billion a year in US-made weapons and ammo. The aid money goes to US weapons makers.

Correct. It’s another example of corporate welfare for the defense industry. If Israel wants to buy our weapons I’m all for it. If they don’t then that’s fine, too.

But America is broke and Sen. Paul is right on this. He’s also right tht it’s none of our damned business where the Israeli government builds or does not build.
