The Israel Air Force is crafting a recommendation to increase production of bombs, missiles and other ammunition at home, in an attempt to reduce its dependence on other countries, especially the United States, a senior air force officer says.
The air force’s stance echoes one by Israel in 1967. After the Six-Day War, French President Charles de Gaulle imposed an arms embargo on Israel, which included tanks, missile boats and Mirage jets.
Israel then switched over its dependence on a foreign power to the United States, which provides the air force with all of its fighter planes and some of its bombs, missiles and intelligence equipment – on top of the development of joint weapons systems for all three layers of air defense.
The senior air force official told Haaretz that without the Americans’ supply of weapons to the Israel Defense Forces, especially the air force, Israel would have had a hard time sustaining its war for more than a few months.
If we stopped all shipments today, Israel still has enough weapons and ammo to continue their current spree for about 8 months. I say we cut them off and send these munitions to Ukraine instead.
Also be careful where you repost this article this is bannable speech in certain places.
Not israeli media.
Mentioning that israel could not commit their Genocide without American weapons is a permaban on LemmyWorld/Politics.
The references to Innuendo Studios’ alt-right playbook are… precious.
Anyone to left of me is secretly to the right.
Your combative, incendiary rhetorical style is likely to attract bans all the more often. It looks like you’ve gotten more bans on lemmy.ml than anywhere, and we’re generally sympathetic to your points of view.
Strange pivot since I was not banned for whatever you are describing.

That’s straight up not true.
This is Biden’s genocide
