Israel mfgs its own jets, tanks and helicoptors. Since Israel is so self-reliant, you would support a resolution by Congress to stop selling/giving Israel jets, tanks and helicoptors on the grounds that they are frequently used against civilians (which puts these sales/gifts in direct violation of U.S. law)?

<<< From 1998, unofficial US policy has been to increase military aid to Israel by $60 million a year. In January 2001, the outgoing Clinton administration announced that the policy is to continue through 2008, at which point the previous $1.8 billion annual level will have increased to $2.4 billion. Clinton also recommended that Israel be among the first recipients of the F-22 jets now under development. In June the Israeli air force announced the purchase of 50 F-16 jets at a cost of $2 billion, to be financed largely through US military aid, shortly after its US F-16s were used to bomb Palestinian civilian targets. >>> medialens.org or medialens.org And, then there is the matter of the weapons that Israel does indeed manufacture. Israel does this by stealing/being given American technology. Then, Israel sells this technology on to good people like China. fas.org
