• $300 million from US

    Israel said to seek additional $300 million from US for missile defense

    Times of Israel
    Israeli officials have reportedly asked the US Congress to add more than $300 million for the country's missile defense programs in the fiscal year
    beginning October 1. The extra funds would be added to the $158 million proposed by the Pentagon in US President Barack Obama's budget request and would be earmarked for production of the joint defense systems David's Sling and Arrow III.
    According to a report in Bloomberg Friday, Israel turned directly to
    Congress, bypassing the White House and the Pentagon this time given the current spat between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and the Obama administration over Netanyahu's upcoming speech to congressional lawmakers on March 3 where he seeks to prevent what he considers a bad
    nuclear deal with Iran currently being negotiated by the US-led P5+1 world powers.
    The head of Israel's missile defense organization, Yair Ramati, "visited lawmakers and aides to the congressional defense committees on February 2 and
    3 to outline the case for more money and thank them for past assistance," persons familiar with the talks told Bloomberg.
    According to the report, Ramati, during his visit to Capitol Hill
    "distributed one-page sheets naming US contractors that would benefit from production funds for each of the missile defense systems," including Chicago-based Boeing Co.; Waltham, Massachusetts-based Raytheon Co.;
    Arlington, Virginia-based Orbital ATK Inc.; and Falls Church, Virginia-based Northrop Grumman Corp.
    Ramati's $317 million proposal included a request for $250 million to start production for David's Sling, a system designed to intercept medium- to long-range missiles, and some $35 million for Arrow III, an anti-ballistic missile system.
    The US provides funds for Israel's missile weapons systems separately from
    the annual $3.1 billion in military financing it gives Jerusalem to purchase weapons from the US.
    In 2014, Congress increased US funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system to $351 million for the fiscal year 2015 from $235 million the
    previous year.
    The Iron Dome missile defense system successfully intercepted hundreds of
    Hamas rockets during last summer's war in Gaza. After the 2014 conflict, funding was bolstered by another $225 million to assist Israel in
    replenishing its Iron Dome missile stockpile.
    Additionally, there was US funding for joint development of anti-missile systems Arrow III and David's Sling.

    In 2014 alone, according to the Congressional Research Service, the Arrow and Arrow II mid-altitude ballistic missile defense system projects - researched and jointly developed by Boeing and Israel Aerospace Industries - received $44.3 million, while $74.7 million went to aid research and development of
    the new Arrow III high-altitude anti-ballistic system. David's Sling, was budgeted for $149.7 million.
    In December 2014, Obama signed a bill deepening US-Israeli cooperation and
    said the legislation reinforces "critical defense and security programs."
    The US-Israel Strategic Partnership Act increases the value of emergency US weaponry kept in Israel by $200 million, to a total of $1.8 billion. It also offers a verbal guarantee of Israel maintaining a qualitative military edge over its neighbors.

    Here the main blame is on American people not those corrupt politicians in Washington and the Zionist around them. I believe as long as people are silent or careless such corruptions or crimes will continue by their governments. People should wake and see how or why their tax money being sent to Israel.
    At the same time US government doesn't have enough money for its own people
    but they have enough to spent in military and corrupt governments around the world.

    The lemmings don't care. As long as they have their fill of nascar (you know, the Earnheardt race stuff), Busch light beer, duck dynasty, reality shows,
    more reality shows, Hollywood jingoism movies, `Chevy' pick up trucks, wal-mart, skoal moist snuff in their back pocket, reality shows, (did I
    mention reality shows), `Mercan holidays to get drunk, more Busch light, on
    and on. Did I forget anything?

    For all I care anymore, those in power in Washington D.C. can just started packing the belongings get their freakin passports in order. Then board a
    bunch of cheap aircrafts to Tel-Aviv, Isreal... as soon as possible. -Skuz

    especially when the money runs out to protect the own borders... but i'm not very involved in the us-stuff, i read some and i'm also have a look on the main-headlines from us. so teach me if i'm wrong, that only a emergency resolution helps to keep the border-protection online because the money runs out for the homeland sec.?

    Well, border-protection is kinda a joke in the first places. Because, it is a fact that millions of illegals are already here. *shrug* .. Now, ten years after the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, it is clear that this department has failed to protect our security, but has infringed on liberty. If Congress really wanted to enhance our security and our liberty it would shut down this unnecessary, unconstitutional department. {quote from
    Ron Paul}

    To understand why, read Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

    Border protection certainly is, especially for a country founded on immigration after the genocide of the native peoples, IMNSHO. Department of Homeland Security is just more of the same. Plus, I ended up meeting a few people from there, and I've seen them drunk talking about how they're gonna get a chance to push everybody around one day. That freaked me out.
    The whole thing is just unacceptable, especially when you start considering the fact that there is a 100 'collar' around the US borders where constitutional rights, at least those of unreasonable search & seizure, just don't apply.
    I've got some pretty unusual views on the matter, though, as my son's mother and I were engaged, and ended up split up because USCIS didn't let her come to this country with me... Eventually they let her come to this country with a soldier that she met in Germany... That's a whole can of worms that I could go into right there.

    I see that you beat me to it. ;)
