Israel builds it's own tanks, arms, munitions and planes. And it's a safe bet Israel has nukes.
Israel has defended itself from brain dead Arab attacks since it's founding. The only thing the US gives Israel is Intel.
Your whine is way off base.
This isn't true. There are no Israeli designed/built military aircraft in service. They've been using French and American aircraft exclusively for the last 20 years. Tanks are a mix of American and Israeli designs of modified American tanks. Their subs are for all intents and purposes German (built there and primarily designed there). Some of their ships are built in the US. Israel is reliant on the US specifically (and Germany, the UK, and France to a lesser degree) for the majority of its physical military assets.
Finally, an intelligent post with actual facts among all of the illogical, hate based posturing! As I said, withdraw all military and financial assistance to Israel, withdraw our troops, stop interfering with mideast politics and civil disputes, and the terrorist threat to America and its allies largely evaporates. Our kids will be safer, we'll be able to deal with the national debt and spend much more on improving our country, which is falling further and further behind. The US is no longer in a position, financially and in terms of worldwide superiority, to function as the world's police.

I don't understand why Obama wants Iran to get nukes.
Because Obama does not understand how the Middle East works nor does he understand Iran. The problem is that Iran is a supplier and a instigator. Iran will not fire the nukes. Iran will supply them freely to someone else to fire them. Israel has already seen, and been fired upon, weapons that originated from Iran in the Gaza Strip. Israel has intercepted ships with hidden cargo that were from Iran in the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Hezbollah is a prime candidate to get nukes from Iran as they don't care about Lebanon when Israel retaliates. The Gaza Strip is also a prime candidate for receiving arms, as they are currently coming in via their fishing boats.

All of that is true, but at least they're willing to talk ...
