Opponents of Israel's Iron Dome funding criticized in the US

65

The Iron Dome missile defense system currently plays a critical role in protecting Israel from missile and air attacks. For the Israelis, the Iron Dome is a source of pride, for the American Left Democrats, it is not only a financial burden, but also a confirmation of the US militaristic policy in the Middle East. Therefore, a group of left-wing democrats promised to achieve the rejection by Congress of the bill on the allocation of a billion dollars for the Israeli missile defense system, the attempts of which are not abandoned by the United States at their facilities.

However, the leadership of the Democratic Party did not agree with their "leftists". House Majority Leader Stenn Hoyer promises that Congress will vote and decide on funding for the Israeli program within this week. Also, the leader of the faction announced a conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, whom he assured of an early resolution of the problem situation.



The US House of Representatives is going to use the fast-track procedure, which requires approval of the bill by two-thirds of the congressmen present. The US Senate will then have to approve the bill.

However, the protest of the Left Democrats against the funding of the Iron Dome itself cannot but be alarming. It turns out that there is a group of people in the American political establishment that does not want to spend budget funds on Israeli (or even joint with Israel) programs. And this despite the fact that quite recently the Palestinian groups led by Hamas subjected Israeli territory to a powerful rocket attack. Then the Israelites literally prayed to their "Iron Dome". Thousands of Palestinian missiles were intercepted, saving Israeli cities and towns from numerous casualties and destruction. True, it was not possible to intercept dozens of missiles.

The left-wing democrats of the United States cannot fail to understand that for Israel everything related to the missile defense and air defense system is of particular importance. But skepticism about Israel is growing in the United States. Although Israel remains the most important geopolitical ally of the United States in the Middle East, it is clear that the White House has cooled somewhat towards its partners. It is no coincidence that the leader of the Republican faction in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, lashed out at the Democrats, accusing political opponents of surrendering to the "anti-Semitic sentiment" of the left side of the party. Indeed, under Republican Donald Trump, the United States demonstrated a much more pro-Israel attitude than it does now.

      Israel is the main US ally in the Middle East. And it doesn't matter for what to give money to Israel and for what! The main thing is to finance ...

    It's not about spending budget funds, they spend more on toilet paper per week.
    The well-known pro-Palestinian Democratic lobby, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar, spoke out against it.
    Despite this, the funds will be transferred, albeit with some delay from 45 to 60 days.

      Well, here's the latest news:

      Rosa DeLauro (Democratic Party), Chairperson of the Appropriations Committee of the US House of Representatives, introduced separate a law that sets aside $ 1 billion to resupply Israel's Iron Dome interceptor missiles.

      DeLauro made the following statement:
      "The United States' commitment to the security of our friend and ally Israel is impeccable. It is our legal and moral responsibility to resupply the interceptor missiles used to defend Israel against attacks."


      “While this funding is usually included in the year-end spending package, we are now promoting this law to demonstrate the bipartisan commitment of the Israel Security Congress as part of the Middle East with lasting peace.”

    Congress will vote this week to decide on funding for Israel's program
    And something tells that this vote will be successful for these representatives. Too much of the Jewish lobby in the United States is doing well. And look at the commentators from Israel who throw mud at our country on this website, write mocking posts about our weapons and the army and at the same time enjoy not only the support of individuals, but also according to many years of analysis and some moderators (a few years ago it was typical moderator Alexander Romanov showed himself) and, unfortunately, some of the administration of the site. It's funny, but the "best commentator" on the site is mainly those who vilify the authorities and the president. Isn't it strange on the military site?

      Apparently, not everything is as bad as you are trying to show here.

      According to trade news and analysis magazine Breaking Defense, Saudi Arabia has approached Israel about the possibility of purchasing missile defense systems.

      This is the Iron Dome complex produced by the Israeli defense industry.
      The magazine claims that the Israeli Defense Ministry informed him that "Saudi Arabia's interest in Israeli systems has reached a very practical phase."

      Some sources also report that Riyadh has been in low-level negotiations with Israel for several years about such systems. Negotiations appeared to pick up steam when it became clear that the United States was about to withdraw its air defenses from the Kingdom.

      Here is an illustrative example of a rather primitive demagogic device called "Appeal to Evidence" or "False Authority"

      The demagogue's argumentation begins with expressions like “everyone knows that…”, “obviously…”, “science has long proved…”, “all successful businessmen know that…” and so on. At the same time, on the one hand, the listener's false pride is exploited (if something is presented as "well-known", it can be difficult for him to admit even to himself that he has never heard of it), on the other hand, imaginary authorities are cited who agree with the statement that affects people with low intelligence and, as a result, not capable of critical thinking, who generally tend to trust authorities.

                    For you, it may be bullshit, but for those who know how modern military-industrial complexes work, it is quite obvious that there are simply no intellectual or production resources in Israel to keep up with modern developments. That is why the Americans give him some developments, in the form of assistance.

            This is the temperature in the hospital - what Israel produces is not necessary for developed countries, due to the fact that they themselves produce better weapons. Well, the Israeli lobby even knows how to bribe sports referees at the Olympics and undeservedly give gold medals to weak Israeli athletes. The same is true in the arms market - Israel's backward weapons are sold to Georgians, Azerbaijanis, Ukrainians, Africans and other undeveloped countries. The Israelis have succeeded in this - I will not argue.

                You know, there are also very clever anti-Semites. An example is the late professor of mathematics Shafarevich. Solving the inverse problem of Galois theory for solvable groups did not prevent him from being a completely insane anti-Semite.
                Another thing is that to be an anti-Semite of great intelligence is not required.

                Once the famous psychiatrist Professor Mikhail Osipovich Gurevich gave a lecture to young colleagues about Alzheimer's disease. As an example of the audience, a patient was presented with this ailment in a severe form. She could no longer even give her name, or what time of year it was outside, or where she came from. But to the question of who brought her to the lecture, she answered with unexpected malice: “w — s”.
                Hearing this, Gurevich remarked, not without irony: “You see how little intelligence is needed to be an anti-Semite” ...

    For the Israelis, the Iron Dome is a source of pride, for the American Left Democrats, it is not only a financial burden, but also a confirmation of the US militaristic policy in the Middle East. Therefore, a group of left-wing democrats promised to achieve the rejection by Congress of the bill on the allocation of a billion dollars for the Israeli missile defense system, the attempts of which are not abandoned by the United States even at their facilities.

    Here is one more confirmation that the Israelis cannot create anything on their own, and are closely based on American technologies. Any specialist understands that this billion is not just green bills, but money allocated for the purchase of the necessary developments from American companies.

    For those interested in the topic:
    In early August last year, the American company Raytheon Missiles & Defense announced the creation of a joint venture with the Israeli defense complex RAFAEL to produce the Iron Dome air defense system.

    The new facility, which will be based in the United States, is named Raytheon RAFAEL Area Protection Systems (RRAPS).

    The company said in a press release that the RRAPS full-cycle Iron Dome plant will be the first outside Israel.
    Sam Deneck, Vice President of Land and Air Defense Division at Raytheon:
    "It will allow the US Department of Defense and allied countries to acquire missile defense systems to protect troops and infrastructure."

    It is assumed that the enterprise will produce the Iron Dome installation with Tamir missiles, as well as the SkyHunter short-range air defense missile system developed by Raytheon, and, thus, the RRAPS products will provide protection against all levels of air threats from missiles to unmanned aerial vehicles.

    It is this enterprise that will receive the 1 billion greenbacks requested by Israel. It is at this enterprise that Tamir missiles will be manufactured to replenish the ammunition stock of the Iron Dome installations in Israel.

      Here is one more proof that the Americans do not believe in the reliability of the production of the Israeli military-industrial complex, which is why they do not want to invest in the production of missiles on the territory of Israel - as they say, but the little chest was just opening. And of course, one should not exclude their desire to simply cash in on this deal by supplying these complexes to Islamic countries under their own brand, which do not trade with Israel. This does not say anything about the quality of the Israeli complexes - the Americans simply understand that they will not protect their troops, because they do not even protect them from Hamas' home-made products.

    The "Left Democrats" referred to in the article are not so much Democrats as the pro-Palestinian lobby in Congress - a flock of shocking congressmen who do not represent on this issue not only the opinion of the Congress as a whole, but even the position of the Democratic Party itself. And, as already noted by colleagues, their demarche has nothing to do with either the cost of the LCD missile defense or its technical characteristics, but is an exclusively political hype.

    Trump spoke well about these "people's choices" at one time:
    "It is interesting to observe" progressive "women-democrats in Congress, who came to us from countries where governments are a complete and absolute disaster, the worst, most corrupt and incompetent anywhere in the world (if there is any government at all), and now loudly and viciously pointing out to the people of the United States how to treat the government of our country.
    Why don't they go home and help change the completely destroyed and crime-ridden places they've come from? Then let them come back and tell us how it should be. "
