Israel Aircraft Industries was excluded from the Airbus 380 project
because of a political decision of the goverment of Israel to buy only
Boeing planes by El Al.

What brand of cheese do you prefer to go with that whine? Hey, turn
down the billions in US dollars your nation receives each year from
the US taxpayers, then you can come back and whine about losing out on
this contract as much as you want

So you acknowledge that "aid" to Israel is nothing but a quid pro quo.

LOL! Not hardly. You need to retake that course in logic--the salient
points apparently did not stick with you. I am merely pointing out
that whining about your economic/military dependency upon the US and
any negative impacts can easily be rendered moot by declaring you
won't accept further US aid (like *that* will ever happen).


American defense contractors would not be too happy if that were to
happen.


Israeli defense contractors will be (very happy).
Friendship between US and Israel is a two way street.

Yep. We give the Israelis beaucoup bucks, and they turn around and
sell their most advanced military products to the PRC while
simultaneously engaging in espionage activities here in the US. One
hell of a two way street you got there.

Brooks knows the facts but he doesn't let them to confuse him.

No, I just recognize the distinct difference between "facts" and the
laughable crud you have been peddling.

1. The money America "give" is subsidizing the American industries and
hurting the Israeli industries.

So Israel is inherently *stupid*, accepting these funds against their
own best interests? LOL! I don't think so...do you?

2. Despite the fact that the American industries are heavily
subsidized they can't compete against the Israeli industries in price
and in many cases in quality.

That is a good one. Evidence of all of those rampant subsidies? And
when was the last time the international market screamed for delivery
of the latest *Israeli* automobiles, trucks, computers, aircraft,
etc.?

Instead of whining, develop your own
better weapons and you don't have to worry that somebody else has
better technology than yours.

Which really explains why israel buys so many "inferior* US weapons,
right? You apparently *do* think the israelis are stupid...
