Israel, U.S. finalize F-35 stealth fighter purchase........(purchase?)
In a possible reference to the Iranian nuclear threat, top Israeli security officials says newly signed deal ensures Israel's ability to face security challenges, both near and far.

The purchase of U.S.-made F-35 stealth fighters ushers in a new era in Israel's ability to face security challenges, both near and far, a top Israeli security official said at a ceremony Thursday which finalized Israel's purchase of its first batch of advanced fighter jets.
F-35 Lightning II, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter, manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corp.
Under the contract signed in New York on Thursday by Ehud Shani, director general of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Israel will get 20 of the warplanes for nearly $3 billion and will receive the jets in 2016. It has an option for 75 more.
Speaking at the New York ceremony, Shani said the singing represented "an historic event and a new era in Israel's military might in the face of challenges both near and far," in what could be construed as a reference to the role the advanced fighters could have in a potential strike of Iran's nuclear facilities.
The warplanes would be capable of reaching Iran undetected by radar.Shani also said that the newly signed deal was "another expression of [Israel's] strategic alliance with the United States and its commitment to maintain Israel's military edge," indicating that "Israel intends to purchase more stealth squadrons. There's a reason the option to buy more planes is in place."
The signing attended by the head of the Pentagon's F-35 pentagon Vice Admiral David Venlet, Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force Heidi Honecker Grant, as well Lockheed Martin's Executive Vice President Ralph D. Heath.
Last month, a ministerial panel headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak made a final decision to purchase 20 new F-35 fighter jets, despite opposition from a number of senior defense officials over the high cost of the deal.
Barak gave his go-ahead last month to purchase the jets in a deal valued at around $2.75 billion. The first planes are expected to arrive in 2015.
The Israel Air Force, however, will have to make do with considerably fewer planes than the 75 originally sought. The entire deal will be funded by American military.

Just amazing what they did all by themselves in one generation after WWII. Staggered out of those concentration camps barefoot and somehow arrived on their own at that vacant totally-empty Palestine desert. One generation later they have over 200 nukes, submarines, and the very latest fighter jets.
Just amazing!

Just amazing!
What's so amazing about that Book?
Wouldn't you think it more amazing that they have been very successful at now dividing the Palestinians into two in-fighting groups, the one in Gaza and the other in the West Bank? Deception, distraction, division. Don't you remember page 4 on the other thread?
And it's been more like a couple of generations at least.
Over a much shorter period of time, those running the "cultural revolution" show in China killed off more teachers, musicians, scientists and doctors than in all prior history combined.
In the course of just one winter Stalin starved tens of millions of poeple.
In a single week Pol Pot emptied an entire city , marching many to their death.
I don't see anything too amazing. If I gave you a global blank check, given enough time I'm sure you could take over most of the world too. If I look back throughout history, war and crime seems to be pretty much par for the course. Follow the money , it will take you to the power.
But that doesn't mean you will be able to fight it on its terms. Change the money , now that will actually get something done.
In terms of purchase, of course somebody bought it and of course somebody made a profit on it. Somebody got a paycheck for building all those extra F-35 airplanes to sell around the globe. The CEO gets paid, doesn't he?

Yeah, with a billion deutschmarks a year and a bunch of German civil engineers, you can end up with some very nice cities.
And with 3 billion American dollars and a bunch of American aerospace engineers you can get some very nice fighter jets.

Well, he had some help, to be sure.
We all learned in grammar school about Hitler's ordinary-German willing executioners.
Not TOO much, though, about Stalin's Jewish willing executioners:

This thread topic and title says ISRAEL but, following your ADL handbook, you gotta try and distract our attention onto China, Stalin, and Pol Pot.

You think, General? Did I ever say you would get anything? Do you run the corporation that builds the planes?
Even the workers don't get much compared to what the owners get. And of course your taxes paid for it.
I show you the root cause, you fail to recognize it. So who is full of it again?

The best way that Israel can face it's "Security Challenges" is by ceasing the Palestinian genocide. ....
I don't think you understand edge, Edge.
Why would any central power let go of a good thing?? War is a business, you didn't know that people are getting rich on this? What security challenge? Has the great USA fixed its own security challenges on the border? "Security Challenges" are just another way to say, "give me some more hand outs or more tax money or more rules or control mechansisms. Have you never looked at the history of war and the leaders who take nations to war?
This "tit for tat", the killing of children and impoverishing of the workers is one of the best little gigs TPTB have going in the ME. And since the ME has so much history of war, it's the perfect little non-ending gig any centralized power and its leaders could ever want. Both the Palestinian and Israeli leaders have won the lottery. You didn't notice their toys and houses and all that?
Either side could end this thing tomorrow, either in peace or in total destruction of the other side, whichever they wanted. But Why in the world would they want to end all that revenue stream that flows their way and the excuse to ask for more control and more power?
I can tell that you have never met a national or world leader figure. It's ok though, most everybody is trapped inside the same old ideas. Deception, distraction, division - it works every time.
You can follow the money if you want, but nothing changes until the money changes.
When someone says they have the "truth" behind something it is highly likely that they are full of sh*t.
Actually no, some people know the real truth and aren't full of sh*t.
+2 points, you stand corrected, pick a card.

Card 1: Deception
Card 2: Distraction
Card 3: Division
After that, you don't need to pick any more cards.
Your bank account has been emptied, report immediately to the nearest FEMA camp.

FM, after reading your post.. I would have to logically deduce that you are either drunk, ....
Ok, busted. And yes, the PTB or world leaders thing was just a way to say they are all a bunch of controlling, maniacs who would do just about anything to their neighbors and especially sell out their own people to remain in power - at least the ones I've met.
Still, the point is (and I stand by it), there's no 'security' problem. There is a business model. And that business model works quite well for the leaders on all sides. Why change anything? Saudia Arabia buys jets. Egypt buys planes. The Palestinians will become consumers of them one day too. Have patience, don't get so personal, read the words and I think you will see through my fall for bread, wine and circus.

No, i'm not sure how that managed to slip past me.
Last I checked, the lottery is measured in dollars, or at swiss bank accounts, not in land mass. With a few billion dollars for the leaders and their families they can live anywhere, and they do. Also, for a national or central authority, it is much easier to sell out their own people and profit from that than negotiate in good faith on their behalf.
National borders are for the average people, the elite can cross them anytime they want to. Once again, deception, distraction, division - it works every time.
