it is the american people's tax dollars, and they should have benefits out of it. but i am sure this "generosity" goes both ways, and the USA is getting their share of benefits of the relation ship.

Never ending sucking sound ,... It's not just Haredim but the whole tribe's mind set is based on living of handouts - Pathetic ,...

Standard operating procedure -- the portion of American foreign aid that takes the form of military credits requires that the funds be spent in the United States. I note for the record that while the United States provides military aid to other countries, only Israel is required to spend the military credits in the United States. Israel is also required to make available to American manufacturers all modifications and improvements which Israel may make. Israel always complies with this requirement -- the improvements have been legion. It's called tapping into brain power.

"is conditioned on Israel not bidding against US companies on lucrative arms deals" - Like what? Tell us what Israel have to offer that US didn't have 25 years ago?

175 M is a drop in a bucket. Israel can get a much better deal in India, China, Russia or any other country that does not suck up to Uncle Sam.

The US had no role in the development of Iron Dome and the funding the US is giving toward the purchase of the system which is a bonus on top of the standard military aid package so why shouldn't US companies make some money out of it? Elbit is still making plenty out of every sale as its not 100% manufactured in the US and its Israel that actually gets the thing not the US so its only fair it should be done this way.

make peace with any of its enemies? The business is just too good. Other Arab nations have the same sentiment about the peace. They have made a business out if and enjoy the scape goat called "Israel".

The relationship will end when the Dollar dies, sooner than later. Raphael better maintain FULL production capabilities in Israel. America will not be around much longer to manipulate our defense establishment and our national security in general... In other words, we will be parting ways. F off and good riddance to the Amerikkkans. Take your money and shove it... For the wise guy responses I am sure to get.. Shoosh..and a Pre-emptive shoosh.. You pieces of garbage are going to be eating dust soon thanks to your genius President and his administration. You turkeys are FINISHED. SO SHOOOOOOSH....

You really must loath yourself to post as you do.

...........otherwise one or both sides would curtail the deal. Thats it in a nutshell.

Perhaps before you scoff too much, you should check on the amount of foreign aid that Poland receives from the United States. And the Poles give absolutely NOTHING in return. Now THAT is pathetic. And so are you.

form this life. Stop or you will give yourself a nose bleed soon. Allah o Akbar

Israel is a "banana" republik of the us

It's nice that you admit you don't know and ask politely, rather than display your ignorance. Israeli companies have competed directly with American companies on sales of drones, air defense missiles and AWACS aircraft.

Back when the T-72 was the mainstay battle tank of the Warsaw Pact countries arrayed against NATO, the Americans were dying for a look at the T-72. Didn't get one until Israel gave them one, captured from Egypt. Then, and only then, was it discovered that NATO forces did not have shells capable of piercing the skin of the T-72. But Israel did. We even gave it to you, you ungrateful wretches. Then, there were all those MiGs that at which the United States really, really wanted a look. Couldn't get one; not intact, anyway. Israel gave them a look at the MiG 19, MiG 21 and MiG 23. If it were not for Israel, the United States would be scrambling around for a MiG to this day. Twenty-five years, you say. All that might, and what happened in Somalia? How about Iraq? Iraq II? Afghanistan, where the Taliban has regained pretty much everything it lost? You've been dipping a little heavily into the Johnnie Walker. Not surprising ... rats are rats; cockroaches are cockroaches; Polacks are Polacks. You want to be careful, though -- that stuff will rot what's left of your brain cells.

Think of the long list of Jews that made the United States a nuclear power. Now imagine an even longer list of Jews that emigrated to, or were born in, Israel. "Banana republic?" I don't think so.

There's your answer ... NOTHING ! You don't always know how to assemble those parts you got as for 'your' dome or sling as handouts not to mention invent or develop anything. Unlike Israelis, Poles is paying for everything they get ,... Coincidently my dear, 'schnorring' the term describing dependence on handouts wasn't invented by Poles out of necessity and isn't promoted by their faith or spiritual leaders ;) ,...

Israel is a rich country that can afford to pay for itself. All it has to do is raise taxes. Most Israeli's wouldn't know the difference in basic prices because they already pay double to triple of what Americans pay for every day goods and naively believe they are getting a good deal. What is an additional 10 percent tax on cars on top of a 100 percent tax or an additional 10 percent tax on fuel on top of 100 percent tax. That is a win win situation. America can take that money and re-build it bridges putting American construction workers and companies to work and buying American construction material. America needs to really start looking inward before it is to late because at the end of the day nobody will ever aid America and will just laugh at us when we are down.

I'll bet those were the first three English words you learned when you first polluted American soil with your vile polak presence, and you obviously have not advanced very far since.

Our coin & financing, so we draw up the contract and set the terms.

Split ignores the fact that in the UK we payout millions in welfare benefits to Poles who arrived since A7 accession and have either never or hardly worked in the UK. The biggest scandal is Poles and of course others from the EU who claim welfare benefits while in the UK for children remaining in Poland and other countries Now that's the art of Schnorrering. And what suckers we are to accept it. The best treatment for Split would be an abduction to IL, paid for by those of us who like a bit of rendition. I suggest a single economy fare on EL AL of course and a small flat in Bnei Brak where he can end his years in the company of those he so despises.

Polish solid work ethics aside because there's nothing to compare with those that never worked or look for work like your black hatted modestly dressed opportunist homies. Conveniently you're forgetting few facts, the most important one that as an a gastarbeiter you have to work for certain amount of time to earn and qualify for any benefits, second in case getting benefits for kids in Poland while working in UK it's for the benefit of UK taxpayer because Poles have to pay for their kids education, insurance and other expenses while he pays his taxes in GB.

Dude, wanna talk about big time schnorring don't forget all these registered as "single" mothers with 8-12 kids in Williamsburg, Boro Park, Jackson Heights, NYC or any of US Haredi or towns like New Square, Monsey, NY. fathered by the same dude leaching the welfare system like there's no tomorrow starting with Section 8 housing ending on common scams like inflating the number of pupils in schools or kindergartens to extort more 'funds' from government or over 3600 tax exempted parasitic organizations with offices in every boonie town filled with parasites that never hold any real job in their life soliciting more grants, subsidies and tax deductible donations, think of the tens of thousands on government dole pretending they work lecturing folks on holocaust subject in dozens museums, and thousands of schools and libraries not to mention the AIPAC and thousands of their hired goons twisting arms in DC, every state Capitol, county and city authorities - They were getting away with this crap so far but more and more people are able to read about this crap on internet and getting piss off just like the Germans after Weimar Republic ,...
