Over the last 48 hours of “ceasefire” Hezbollah has attacked Israel 72 times, including:
• 25 assaults
• 63 rockets
• 1 missile
• 7 UAV strikes
• 2 IED explosions
• 1 infiltration of 5 terrorists
Now Iran cancels peace talks because Israel responded.
See the game here?
JD Vance likes to threaten Israel by pointing out how much of our weapons come from the US, but he completely ignores history. This dependency was manufactured by Washington. What does he want us to do, buy our jets from China? Or maybe he wants Israel to build its own?
Let's remind him that back in the 1980s, Israel was developing the Lavi, a fighter jet that would easily be one of the best in the world today. It was the US that pressured and forced Israel to cancel the project because American defense contractors didn't want the competition. You can't force us to shut down our independent fighter jet program to protect US corporate profits, and then turn around and complain that we rely on US jets. If Israel has to fully decouple and build its own platforms again, we can. But don't pretend this dependency wasn't your choice.
