U.S. Arms Zionists in Preparation for Conflict
The U.S. Congress has approved $1.2 billion worth of US-funded Israeli arms purchases, including 50 huge GBU-28 guided bunker busters.
DEBKAfiles military sources report the package, discussed by US Pentagon and Israel defense ministry officials, aims at replenishing the seriously depleted Israel Air Force stocks of missiles, bombs and fuel to their level prior to the 2006 Lebanon war, ready for any potential war contingency. Some of these items will be delivered shortly; others over a five-year period.
They include thousands of missiles, tens of thousands of new bombs worth $799 million and 132 gallons of jet fuel worth $308 million.
The accent of this consignment will be on the heaviest American bombs designed for such subterranean targets as the bunker fortresses of Iran, Syria and Lebanons Hizballah and on operating and guidance systems for upgrading Israeli Air Force ammunition.
The list, according to US defense sources, also includes 10,000 JDAM tail kits for high precision guidance of bombs in all weathers at ranges of up to 25 km, which are designed for use with the GBU-29-32 bunker busters; 4,000 laser-guided Paveway II munitions kits; more than 11,000 Mk-84 and Mk-82 bombs; 2,000 heavy fortifications-penetrating BLU-109 bombs; and 50 GBU-28 5,000-pound guided bunker busters.
The Israeli Air Force will also receive 500 Sidewinders AIM-9M, and 200 AIM-120C (AMRAAM) medium range air-to-air missiles.
The American DefenseNews.com quotes Israeli industry executives, including the state-owned Rafael Armament Development Authority, Israel Aerospace Industries and Military Industries, as concerned by the countrys increasing dependence on American weaponry. While appreciative of American generosity, they complain that locally made, alternative products are often more capable than US systems and better adjusted to Israeli needs. They took particular exception to the defense ministrys plans to stock up on US Sidewinders and AMRAAM missile when the Python-5, Derby and follow-on indigenous systems are specifically designed for the Israeli Air force.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the Zionist state is preparing for a dangerous war in which many Jews and non-Jews may be harmed, G-d forbid. There are many Jews who, while theoretically opposed to Zionism, support the state because they believe it is the safest option for the Jewish people right now. We call upon these people to see the deadly folly into which the Zionists are leading the Jewish population of the Holy Land. Jews should refrain from visiting the Holy Land, and whoever has the ability to leave should leave before it is too late.
