Israel borrows the money from us to buy this stuff and then pays us back with interest.

Does it?

I remember in the 1980s, when Israel was due to pay back a large loan, it lobbied Congress, and got Congress to convert the loan into a gift.

Israel's lobby brags that Israel has never defaulted on a loan. But that doesn't mean it actually pays back the money.

I don't know if that's happened more than once. But I remember at least that one time.

No, they bombed a building NEXT TO the consulate.

Probably no bigger than a Hellfire or similar based on the ground level pics and the lack of damage to adjacent buildings. The headlines screamed bomded the embassy, but photos clearly show the embassy was not hit.

You can’t compare the situation in Israel to Ukraine.

Leaving aside the biblical arguments, imagine a world without Israel. Science, medicine, finance, natural resources, research, innovation, tourism, archaeology, history, civil safety,...

You're proving my argument.

Israel is a wealthy country with many revenue sources.

LOL, “Boy have I got a deal for you! That’s if you get my 10% bonus.” On the side, I can see Israel turning the F-15s into F-15s on steroids.

The F-15I is a version of the F-15E Strike Eagle, configured for Israeli weapons and Helmet Mounted Display, and some Israeli made avionics. Of course, the F-15E is already on steroids.

How dare I suggest that a wealthy country should pay its own way!

Still a Christian Zionist but not a Globalist Zionist.

The War Against Russia is first priority in Washington so Israel will get appeased at this point even as Biden claims concern for the Palestinians at the same time.

Biden also imposes sanctions on Jews living in the West Bank the so-called “Far Right” because they aren’t Globalist Moderates like him.

The US is pushing towards war with China as well.

The Globalist plan of confrontation and war with Russia and China means Netanyahu has carte blanche to deal with matters in his region like Iran.

Maybe send them C-130 gunships, ammo, anything for killing large numbers of people.

"Our" Air Force wants to dump the A-10...

I think the war against Israel started long before October 7.

Israel just bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria, something quite unprecedented in history and diplomacy - and using American jets and missiles

Yes, we all know how diplomatic immunity is sacred to Iran...

Doesn't mention how Israel will pay for it. I assume we'll provide whatever additional aid money Israel demands.

(1) Israel will pay for them, not part of any additional "aid," nor financed by the $3.8 billion annual military aid, subject to the Camp David Accords (which Egypt also gets).

(2) The F-15s don't currently exist. Will have to be built over a number of years.

(3) The sale is subject to approval/rejection by Congress.

Have to show me where we are “selling” military hardware to Ukraine. Not being facetious, just haven’t heard we are selling anything to Ukraine.

No, it just underscores how Iran is not a legitimate regime, and all bets are off, just as when Trump targeted Gen. Soleimani in 2020, causing Biden and half the GOP to erupt against him.
