        You’re saying they don’t pay for their weapons? Pretty sure we would stop selling them weapons if they weren’t ever paying for them.

          I am indeed saying that. Remember that the US government doesn’t have state run arms industries: the money is going to private companies regardless of whether Israel buys them, or the US government buys them and gifts them to Israel. It’s not about money.

            True we don’t have state run arms industries but never think the military industrial complex isn’t part of the government. In America it’s always about the money.

              Yeah, but the military industrial complex still gets its cut when the US gifts Israel weapons, it just comes from the US tax payers.
