A modest proposal for Israel regarding US weapons.

[Lurks Often]

7. Won't work

Israel builds it's much of it's own equipment. They may prefer US equipment in some cases, as it keeps their costs down, but they'll buy from France, Germany, England or whoever else will sell to them if it comes to that or spend the extra money and would re-start production on things like aircraft and anything else we stopped supplying.

Here is a link that shows what Israel produces itself and what it buys elsewhere:

What Israel WON"T do is allow ANY other country to be responsible for the protection of Israel.

I'll also note that Israel is a nuclear power with the probable ability to strike most countries and I find it extremely likely that if Israel is about to be destroyed as a country, they will launch those nuclear weapons and don't be surprised if some of those mushroom clouds aren't restricted to the Middle East
