Israeli vampires want to suck off the U.S. teat even more

Israel not just wants Washington to renew its $3 bil annual foreign aid subsidy, which it can then use on a pass-through to build more illegal settlements, it now wants to upgrade its F-16s in its air force to the F-35s — and wants us the U.S. to help fund that!

The third "ask" that AIPAC supporters will make of Congress on Tuesday is to once again pass the $3 billion in U.S. aid provided annually to Israel. "It's a very tough ask this year," (AIPAC lobbyist Steve) Aserkoff admitted, noting the U.S. domestic budgetary and economic challenges. Among other major purchases, the Israeli government has announced plans to replace its aging fleet of F-16 fighter jets with new, American-made F-35 fighters, a major cost that Israel hopes will be substantially born for (sic) by American taxpayers.

I support Israel. I do NOT support Zionism.
