US to fund sale of F-35 jets to Israel

Israel has signed a contract to "purchase" 20 US-built and -funded F-35 stealth fighter jets, a deal the Tel Aviv regime boasts as "an event of great strategic and historic significance.” Tel Aviv's Defense Ministry Director General Udi Shani signed the "agreement", worth nearly $3 billion, during a ceremony in New York on Thursday, Israeli daily Haaretz reports, noting that "the entire deal will be funded by the American military." According to the deal, Israel will receive the attack aircrafts between 2015 and 2017, at a price of $96 million per plane, together with simulators and spare parts, with a total price tag of $2.75 billion. The deal also grants the Israeli regime the option of ordering 75 more jets.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [...] hailed the so-called "purchase", saying it would significantly strengthen Israel's military. US officials, ordinarily, obtain approval by the powerful Israeli lobby in Washington before signing any weapons deals with any Arab country. Despite apparent Israeli protests, all US arms sales to Arab nations are, in fact, preapproved by the Israelis.

[Editor's Comment:] Israel, this artificial, racist apartheid state, will get US military hardware for free. Yes, for free. - The "loans" are not going to be repaid and everybody knows it. And the so-called "aid" is not aid. Aid is when the giver of it is in control. This situation is not like a continuing, permanent armed robbery either, because they didn't even have to use ordinary guns (like the goddamn mafia) to obtain any of it and this is too big for that mundane paradigm anyway. No, it's rather like this: Opposition in the US to the Zionist Jews has been silenced long time ago, without a fight, without even a whimper. Money & bribes were a part of the problem but that's not all. Now they are helping themselves to this military hardware because they (correctly) see the US as their own turf and storehouse. In fact, this is what the US now has become. They are the very people who effectively control the US Government. In fact they are the US Government. They also are parasites infesting the entire system of governance. They will not stop until the US has been completely looted, sucked dry & destroyed. It's a tragedy of almost unimaginable proportions, one for which Americans have only themselves to blame.
