The only foreign countries I'd trust with the F-22 are Japan, Britain, and possibly Australia (if they can afford it...).
Exactly right. And the Lavi wasn't the first time US technology meant for Israel somehow wound up in the hands of the Chinese.

I find it abit obcene that we give Isreal $11 Bilion a year and they pull sh** like this.

And why do the Israelis need the F-22? Its an air superiority fighter its not like Hamas has state of the art-air defense and its AtG is very limited.

Its an offensive weapon, designed to penetrate the air defense of say... Iran.

Never mind, I now know what they need it for...
