"Israel is expected to get F-35 and F-16 fighter jets, spare parts, missiles, intelligence gathering systems. The last 10-year package was for $30 billion." - Washington Post on Biden's visit to Israel TODAY.

And now they want far more than $30B. And they pull this shit.

It has taken me a long time to go from pro-Israel to 'Fuck 'em!', but they earned it, year after year after year.

'Fuck 'em!' Good and hard!

Want to read a good book on the history of the middle east and British/French/Egyptian/Iraqi/Saudi U.S. screw-ups there going back to the 19th century? Book is "Quicksand" by Geoffrey Wawro. See if you can get through the parts of it that deal with the U.S. and Israel without starting to shout: 'Fuck 'em!' Good and hard!
