LordJedi, the point I was trying to make was there is a nuclear deterrent in place. I don't necessarily agree with sean's position of not supporting Israel anymore but your premise of "If we stopped giving them money and stopped supporting them, the other countries would attack in the blink of an eye, much like they did the day after Israel was recreated way back in 1947." is flawed. Isreal's enemies would not attack in the blink of an eye....plus I'll let you on a little secret...you've seen the new F-35? The VSTOL marine model was supposed to be shared with Europe, its not. But Israel is going to get some.... The VSTOL F-35 makes any MIG shit its pants....I wouldn't worry too much about Israel if I were you, they will be fine.
