The US is "selling" Israel F35 fighter jets at a cost of 2.5 billion to the US taxpayer. Israel is bitching about the deal due the costs, because we won't sell them as many as they want, and we won't let them modify the planes. BUT,... they're not even really paying for them as the entire cost will be funded by the US military.

Israel also wanted to expand the plane's capacity to allow it to carry Israeli-made missiles.

I wonder how the Muslim world will feel when these American made planes kill their people?
In any case, the F-35 will give the IAF outstanding radar-dodging capabilities that allow preemptive strikes against enemy states with advanced air defense technologies
"They hate us for our freedoms"
yeah, right..
