4. Israel badly wanted subs. The Germans badly wanted to sell.
Who else was ready to sell subs to Jews? Get real, it was the only game in town and they were ready to go the extra mile. The bribe didn't sell the subs, it was just icing on the cake. Of course it was wrong to take the money, but it was not a loss to Israel, it was a quo, but the quid would have happened anyway. The money should go to the treasury.
