Exactly, why would you ever risk that? Would hearing trump talk to whatever on the phone, worth the huge risk? You can talk to him yourself, why would you ever risk pissing the US off for just that?

I dunno, they have Jericho missiles with nukes capable of reaching Los Angeles; I think they'll be fine without US financial support. Which, BTW, is against the NPT because they have nukes. https://original.antiwar.com/smith-grant/2018/09/16/americans-would-limit-aid-to-nuclear-israel/ https://original.antiwar.com/smith-grant/2018/09/16/american...

  Great comment, if anyone else needed any better confirmation that this scottlocklin dude is some anti-semite, there you have it. Expected nothing less from you.

    So... it is antisemitic to notice that the Jericho-2 missile, equipped with nukes is capable of reaching LA? It is, you know! This is a fact. https://fas.org/nuke/guide/israel/missile/jericho-2.htm https://fas.org/nuke/guide/israel/missile/jericho-2.htm Also, it is illegal for the US to give foreign aid to non NPT compliant countries. Israel is a non-NPT compliant country. I've been on here for years; under my real name. You just showed up shouting about Israel. Are you a Hasabra troll being paid to do this? https://left.wikia.org/wiki/Hasbara_troll https://left.wikia.org/wiki/Hasbara_troll

      This is even better, not only does Israel spy, it also sends trolls to hacker news to make sure you scottlocklin don't reveal their evil plans. I bet u're really afraid the mossad is now after you or something. You got any more of those gems? How deep does the paranoia go? Also I'm just yet another Israeli browsing HN, angry of the bulshit and false allegations.

        The Hasabra is real, dude. Feel free to attempt to refute it; it is well documented that knuckleheads are paid to show up on forums and do exactly what you're doing. So far you've called me a blood libeler and an antisemite without engaging with anything I've raised. Israel definitely spies on the US; you can literally find hundreds of examples on google: I only listed 10. If you're Israeli; tell your politicians to cut it out. I actually agree with your assertions that this is likely to eventually cause problems for Israel with the US, and that they should stop. They should also consider getting rid of nukes with delivery vehicles capable of hitting LA. I mean if I really wanted to get out the heavy artillery I'd mention the Lavon affair and the attack on the USS Liberty. By now, those are mostly water under the bridge, but they sure weren't the actions of an ally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavon_Affair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavon_Affair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
