Howard Stern said it is anti-American to be anti-Israel so I am wondering if this applies when Israel sells weapons to China. The US forced Israel to cancel its arms deals with China so I am wondering if being opposed to this is being anti-American. Sonny Callahan, a Republican representative also introduced legislation back in 2000 threatening to withdraw $250 million in aid to Israel if the Phalcon deal with China went through. Also is Sonny Callahan a terrorist sympathizer for threatening to withdraw aid to Israel?

No it isn't anti-American to be anti-Israel. It would be anti-American to support Israel's needs over our own.

I forgot to point out that AIPAC was furious at Sonny Callahan for threatening to withdraw aid to Israel over this deal.

Stern can go bite it.

One only needs to be pro American. You can be anti any damn country you want to be against and as long as it's not THIS country you're against, you're not anti American.

Israel IS NOT the United States...And Americans needn't show any allegiance to it if they don't want to.

Is the US at war with China? How many products in your home say "Made in ROC/China"?

Why are you posting decade+ news articles?

An Israeli company can do business with any country it wishes too and the US government needs to stay out of its business. I think we call it Capitalism in the US.

This is from 2013:

Is this better?

While you are right Israel can do business with any country it wants, a significant part of its defense technology is derived from American technology transfer and funding. The US maintains an arms embargo on China on any arms that has American technology; the Israelis are supposed to abide by those rules.

Business is business. Politics is politics. The US Capitalist system does whats good for it and will do anything that cuts into their profits. This includes playing Politics. So what does US Politicians do? Create a purchase from Israel to replace it so Israel won't sell it to a country the US competes with on the global selling market. Most people call it contracts when in reality its to cut out the competition. This is how the Business world really works.

Read your link and follow it. The part listed was designed and made by an Israeli company.

No, I can be against a nation that stabs us in the back and sells our weapons to our enemies....

...and having the Chinese buy their weapons from Russia would be better? By the way, a lot of our weapons are MADE in China. You might want to read up on the topic before posting.
