Without US support Isreal would have no decent frontline fighters, no sumarine missiles to carry its nuclear warheads and would have been squashed by its neighbours along time ago.

Sorry what high-tech weaponry? Which enemies of Isreal? You supported Iran when Isreal wanted you to (to mark Saddam), you supported Iraq when Islamic Iran worried you but high-tech? No your main contributions were intel and export markets.
'They believe' is a very strange & dangerous justification for illegal activities. The IRA believed they were fighting with honour when they were murdering 10 YO boys on shopping trips - does that justify their crimes (or those who bank-rolled them?)
You destroyed our empire and bankrupted our country. Are we, therefore, allowed to spy on you, bribe your officials, steal your secrets? Apparently not!
I personally think the US is the Great Satan, puts the world in poverty to fund cheap 'gas', 3lb burgers, institutional obesity and very poor dress-sense - would that justify me attacking America? Spying on you? No it wouldn't.
Very wierd patriotism the Americans have 'against all enemies, foreign & domestic (except Isreal, anyone slightly Jewish, or anyone who's name ends in 'itz')'??
Without US support Isreal would have no decent frontline fighters, no sumarine missiles to carry its nuclear warheads and would have been squashed by its neighbours along time ago.
The US's reputation (ha!) is tainted by their support of this racist nazi state and its racist nazi leader.

Since no one is going to call you on this, I will, cause quite frankly, your talking out your behind.
History seems to be against what your saying, eh?
Israel had no nukes or such capabilities when they went to war against virtually every Arab nation around them?
The US recognized Israel as a state in May of 1948, under the Truman Administration.
As such, Israel fought the surrounding Arabs in 1948-49, in 1956, 1967 Six-Day War, etc.
They utilized improvised Soviet weaponry that was smuggled and funneled out and through Czechoslovakia.
The US did not become the major arms supplier of or to Israel till 1965-67.
Your rhetoric is cheap and noticed.
The Arabs had the multiple chances to "crush" Israel and guess what?
They failed to do so.
You were saying again?

high tech weaponry, well lets see, lets start with Egypt-m1 abrams tanks, apaches, Patriot SAM system, F-15 Eagles etc. Saudi Arabia-m1a2 abrams, AWACs planes, F-15s, F-16s, Apaches, etc. Kuwait-m1a2 abrams, apaches, f-16s, etc. so u telling me that we didnt sell weapons to enemies of Israel. we sold them to Arab nations in return for peace with Israel and to get good relationships with the Arab governments.
