But the rabid dog isn't interested in facts. It's interested in looking angry, barking loud and most importantly, biting its own tail.
Israel Facts | Legislation, History and Information - ThePoliticalGuide.com
Prior to the 1967 Six Day War, the United States provided very little military aid to Israel.
Rather, France was the primary source for Israel to purchase (and receive, as aid) front line military equipment, as well as what the Israelis could buy on the used car lots.
We only began to take an interest in helping, with military aid, to replenish some of their stocks and munitions burned-off in the 1967 War, as the Soviets were doing for the Arabs.
We only got serious about helping Israel, militarily, during the timeframe of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and that was mostly either replacing aging assets or replenishing stock and munitions they'd cooked-off during that conflict.
Nice try, though, trying to convince the audience that the United States was propping-up Israel militarily during its earliest years.
But - as Robin Williams would say: "Bzzzzzzz... thank you for playing!"
