1. This deal assures a further Pollard Silence

Keeping an edge over other Middle Eastern nations when it comes to advanced military equiptment is normal U.S. policy. Raising the ante is in the interest of the U.S. The U.S. is buying off the Israelis, and they need large (huge) bunker bombs. Perhaps this essential weapon will be supplied so that Israel can finish the job and take out Iran's capability to develop its own nuclear bomb.

4. America is fading away
Dror ,   Haifa   (05.28.15)
Do not trust empty promises
5. Silence & cooperation were never more dearly bought
Cameron ,   USA   (05.28.15)
3.5 bill every year? Fat city. What a racket.
6. Increased monies to Israel
Nadya ,   California, USA   (05.28.15)
It is ridiculous that US feels obligated to increase money to Israel. What, we have to buy their their silence? We owe Israel nothing and I for one am sick and tired of our congressional leaders bowing to their demands. Everyone of the Republican presidential hopefuls runs right over to Israel in hope of getting Jewish money, disgusting, I will never vote Republican again.
7. Closed Schools, Children & Elderly
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (05.29.15)
The current Congress does not pay for stuff, they deny funding to stuff and people. Look for closed schools, reduced farm supports, hungry children and impoverished elderly. And more bridges and highways crumbling and more exploding trains. To Joe @ #2, Israel does not have delivery systems for 15 ton bombs. And the US does not give away B-1s and B-2s or ICBMs.
8. #5, better deal than $2 trillion wasted in Iraq/Afghanistan
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.29.15)
and nothing to show for it everything is back to dust in Muslim lands in no time at all, while Israel with much less aid has become one of the top economies/Hi Tech power houses in the world and surpasses US in military competence. It still needs material aid because it is surrounded on all sides by most vicious enemies and doesn't require American troops like Muslims do, That's a bargain.
9. # 5 Cheap at half the price.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (06.02.15)
What's not a smart move are the billions paid to the pal terrorists which is about to end. Ah, poor pals, where will they get more missiles? O, that's right ISIS whose already in Gaza expecting to cause WW111.. and they'll lose that one too.
