“This contract provides for the design, integration, instrumentation, test, production, and delivery of 25 new F-15IA aircraft for the Israeli Air Force with an option for an additional 25 F-15IA aircraft,” the Pentagon said.

50 F-15s to speed up the genocide of Palestinians?

    And a bunch of those F-15 components are made in Canada, just in case someone was feeling smug.

    They’d sell crack to elementary school kids just to make a buck. The way the criminal world is organized nowadays I’d say they are already doing that.

    First, the US gives billions to Israel in aid, then they spend it on US military equipment. Why not just buy the jets directly and hand them over?

      The defense companies make way more money if the government gives them taxpayer money and tax breaks, then give taxpayer money to allies to buy weapons that were already paid for by taxpayer dollars. They are, at a minimum, triple dippin’.

    You people are hilarious. I frequently have to go to Israel for work. You do realize that there are Mosques, arab cops, arab soldiers, arab businesses owners, and arab government officials living in Israel?

    Jew’s are prohibited from entering Palestine and Palestinians are restricted from entering Israel. The issues of that region are far more complex.

    Also as a gay man, I can go about my life in Tel Aviv without fear of violence. If I go to Palestine, I wouldn’t fare as well.

    Not going to pretend that the Israeli government is without sin. But you people are completely disconnected with reality.
