Why does the US sell so much arms to Israel's enemies? To Saudi Arabia. Egypt. The UAE. And to Turkey which is not the friend it used to be. How much better the Middle East and the world would be if everyone in the region recognized each other's right to exist in peace, in recognized and secure borders. Israel had no choice but to build a large arms industry, for its own defense, but it is unsustainable without exports. The same as with every arms-building nation. Every arms sales threatens somebody. IF true peace between Jews, Muslims, Sunnis, Shia Azeris, Armenians would actually break out, Israel would turn to better things. But as long as Israel is not fully accepted, it has no choice but to build arms, and to sell them to those who are willing to "play ball" with it. It's an unjust world.
