#1 Why???

Israel already gets $3 billion in free American money every year. Why do they need more?

#2 Why??? is a question regularly asked and answered: Because Israel does beta testing on American weapons and equipment under battlefield conditions, then creates improvements that America then has the option to buy. Both sides are better off, and the Israelis do the work cheaper and faster than American logistics systems can accomplish.

Or you could stick with F-35s that asphyxiated the pilots without any apparent reason. Your choice.

#4 I wonder if US states still have the authority to offer Letters of Marque? Still, having a state governor get involved in any military foreign aid seems ...problematic.

Of course it was, Frank G, but I thought to take advantage of the teachable moment. Others here who are not Jew-haters have asked the same question.
