These massive defense cuts have persuaded me that Netanyahu is blowing smoke when he says the Iranian deal is a threat to Israel’s security. I’d be a little more convinced if Israel adopted a wartime defense budget* in response to the deal.
* During WWII, the US wartime military budget was 50% of GDP. Israel’s proposed number is less than 7%, and a deep cut from previous levels.
Maybe they actually think of the US as their greatest enemy and see how our defense is being aborted.
Interesting... I have heard that true conservatives in Israel are not happy with Netanyahu. Perhaps his group in Israel are actually the Establishment Conservatives and not truly conservatives willing to do what is right, regardless of what the world is doing.?.?
