It simply says that Israel is "buying" the planes. But Israel often "buys" with our money.
Israel didn’t build nukes. We gave the nukes to them.
The Biden-Regime/Military-Industrial-Complex doesn’t want to see the conflict end, which is why they’re trying to hand-cuff Israel. But they have no problem if it continues indefinitely. There are billions to be made.
Agreed
The word “sale” was the give-away (no pun intended). “Sale” means receiving something of value in exchange for money. There was no mention of additional aid.
That only happened once to my knowledge. Since then Israel has paid back every loan with interest.
They use that money to buy American made stuff. That employs Americans.
Pretty simple, really.

Arms to Israel is basically a payment from the US .gov to US military contractors.
Israel is just the middle man.
All the “policy” debate disguises this simple fact.
I already responded to that argument.
All domestic welfare -- Medicaid, EBT cards, Covid checks, food stamps, money for illegals, arts grants, reparations for blacks -- it all goes to buy American made stuff. Which employs Americans.
Yet I doubt you'd use that argument to justify domestic welfare. So please don't use it to justify foreign welfare.
BEST COMMENT!
Welfare is giving people for nothing with no expectations of it being paid back.
Your logic, piss poor as it is, would categorize a mortgage as “welfare”.
So nice try. Better luck next time.

Tel Aviv? I thought the capitol of Israel was Jerusalem?
Your logic, piss poor as it is...
You've switched your argument. You said that giving money to Israel was good for our economy because it's spent in the U.S. But your "logic" also justifies black reparations, and all welfare, because it's spent in the U.S.
So now you want to divert away from your "economic benefit" argument. You say it's not welfare, because Israel "pays back" the money we give it.
Has Israel "paid back" the trillions it's cost us over the decades?
News to me.
Only problem is the F-15 isn’t produced anymore, it was DCd in 2019.
I think this is the first I've read anyone on FR approvingly cite the U.S. intelligence community as proof of anything.
>>”Israel didn’t build nukes. We gave the nukes to them.”
Who is this “we” you speak of? Try educating yourself.
The Israeli’s started preliminary work on nuclear weapons research in the early 1950’s. As France was also developing their program at that time, there was significant cooperation between the two countries.
At this point, it’s worth noting that a number of Jewish scientists played pivotal roles in developing the field of nuclear physics generally, and the development of the American nuclear program, particularly. Robert Oppenheimer and Edward Teller (known as the father of the hydrogen bomb), are two well-known examples. In the field of nuclear physics, the concept of a nuclear chain-reaction was first hypothesized by Leo Szilard, a Hungarian Jew. Nuclear fission was discovered not long after by Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch, both Jewish physicists.
In 1957, an agreement was finalized for France to provide a nuclear reactor to Israel. The terms of the agreement were never made public. This cooperation between France and Israel occurred during a time in which the French government had a particularly pro-Israel foreign policy. This was in the aftermath of the nationalization of the Suez canal by Egyptian leader Nassar, which had brought the two countries closer, out of common interest.
In 1958, after De Gaulle became president, relations between the two countries cooled, but the process had already begun and was allowed to continue, with the stipulation that the Israelis declare their nuclear program to be peaceful.
While Israel received assistance from France for its reactor and purchased most of its uranium from Argentina, it developed its own weapon systems at the Negev Nuclear Research Center, near the city of Dimona, in Israel. While Israel says little, publicly, about its nuclear weapons program, it’s believed to have produced its first functional nuclear weapon in December, 1966.
Neutron bomb. Samuel T. Cohen.
Israel’s nukes came from French Jewish scientists.
Your narrative forgot to mention a critical actor.
The Israelis did not forget:

The money quote:
“Angleton reportedly aided Israel in obtaining technical nuclear data.”
Imho he did a lot more than that.
