Many, I think, you know stories about how Stalin in the midst of world war II Roosevelt sent a gift created by Alexandrov Comedy “Volga-Volga”. Roosevelt watched the Comedy tells the councillors: “I am confident that in this film there is some hint, but found nothing. Apparently, bad translate, something has slipped away”.
Invited the best translators, Roosevelt looked again – nothing. Then someone had a bright idea: “we Need to translate all the songs in the movie.” And as soon as it got to the “America Russia has presented a steamship, Roosevelt stopped the projectionist, said, “All clear. Old Joe suggests that the lend-lease it is not enough that we pull with the Second front.”
Let’s leave history in the past, talk about our day, about our – Israel’s and America relations. That all experts call “American military aid to Israel.”
The attacks on Netanyahu in connection with the Treaty on the allocation of us $ 38 billion in the next ten years will be put aside: it is clear that this is a cheap attempt to tarnish the democratically elected Prime Minister: recently, the media was dragged to the microphone to politicians and “experts” who asserted that Netanyahu should not pull to sign under Obama’s agreement to help, otherwise it will be too late, and now the same media are reproduced by the statements of other “”experts” and politicians who argue that Netanyahu rushed, and he wait the arrival of a new President, Israel would have received more.
I want to talk generally about the concept of “Us military aid to Israel.” As soon as my companion utters these four words, I already know that he did not understand what was happening, repeats memorized words, taldychit someone else’s. Sometimes these pseudo-experts add: “Without American help Israel…”
The money that America gives Israel to purchase weapons – no help, not a favor, not a gesture of goodwill.
Israel is not their fault we have for 70 years to confront the results of collisions in the region of the complex interests of the superpowers.
Does not need Israel would be the strongest in the region of the army, if these powers, in turn, was equipped with neighboring militant country. And would not support morally and politically their appetites against Israel.
Has anyone calculated how many billions to allocate the same US Jordan (who just yesterday accused Israel of “inhuman liquidation of” “an innocent citizen”, only rushed with a knife into an Israeli soldier). America, on the basis of their (I don’t care which) interests Jordan is equipping powerful weapons, and if in compensation, the US did not deliver weapons to Israel, Jordan so army would have wiped Israel off the face of the earth.
You want to sit down and count how many billions annually allocated and there will be submissive to allocate US to another very loving to our neighbor Egypt? And how to allocate the weapons to Syria?
Some of the global interests of the United States does not allow Israel to strike on Iran to stop supporting two bloody terrorist organizations on our borders – Hezbollah in the North and Hamas in the South. Billions Israel spends annually to protect from their missiles, built on Iranian money. On prevention and fight against terrorist attacks. Pathetic American compensation for its policy in the region covers only a fraction of these costs. The rest, a huge defense budget is a country deprives its citizens of their patients, their children, their future.
The billions Israel spends on the Arab sector, and even thinks to say to the Arabs who call Parliament our defenders “killer”: “According to the laws of war you agents of the hostile Arab countries, while these countries will not abandon plans of our destruction – no you dollar or shekel. Go and explain your “defenders” that meets your interests. Israel itself does not allow that, spending billions on the Arab sector – and his reproach every time: “Without us military aid…”
There is a good Hebrew proverb: “Lo mi-duseja, ve-lo mi-oktaha” – “No honey your (no need) nor too tight.
לֹא מִדֻּבְשְׁךָ וְלֹא מֵעֻקְצְךָ
Israel does not need American honey, supposedly compensate for their stinging bites. Don’t be disproportionately huge international (including American) aid to our enemies, Israel would long ago have forced Arab neighbors to peaceful coexistence. Our soldiers were already at the gates of Damascus, Cairo, Beirut. And retreated only at the insistence of the international community, which found that Israel is unfairly harsh to the Arab aggressors. USA didn’t want conflict with the Soviet Union and forced Israel to retreat. Promised in compensation for military aid and forced each time to beg that Israel relies on all the laws.
Money – trash. Israel is paying the price in lives of their sons dying for the sake of somebody “higher political interests”, because of the rivalry between the “great powers”.
If someone else in your presence to give a hint that Israel receives military aid from outside, in memory of our sons go through it with a look of contempt.
