“Normalization with the Saudis – at what price?”
https://share.google/VqRaaBXmFydmrOZJz
Lets begin with some cold hard facts, as seen in the above link, regarding selling Saudis the level of advanced military technology embodied in the F-35s.
After reading that background, preliminary critique, here’s the new update regarding the F-35 Stealth fighters…

Recall that because Israel is so horrendously outnumbered and outgunned by hundreds of millions of hostile neighbors, American policy in the past allowed Israel to maintain at least somewhat of a qualitative edge over its assorted enemies.
Saudi Arabia received advanced fighter aircraft and other sophisticated military equipment repeatedly in the past.
I understand, but disagree with, the good old economic thinking that if America didn’t make money selling hostile Arab oil potentates such advanced military equipment, other nations would only do so instead.
Ergo, how many shekels would it take to sell out perhaps America’s most faithful friend and ally…

Allegedly, such sales are aimed to better equip the autocratic kingdom, which reports from the renowned London based Anti-Slavery Society and elsewhere exposed that black African and numerous other slaves are still working the oil fields and in other capacities of this kingdom, Qatar, and in other Arab despot, Trump best real estate trillionaire business buddies as well.
Recall that these are the same folks pointing fingers at Israel and calling it “racist.” A sickening irony if there ever was one…but how many nations, professors, etc. are calling Arabs out for such unspeakable behavior?

It would be funny if so many of their worldwide sycophant, oil dependent, fellow antisemitic useful idiots didn’t buy into this manure. And I don’t throw the term antisemitic out loosely.
So, what did Ibn Saud’s desert kingdom do with its advanced aircraft in the past?
Did it station them on the Arab side of the Persian/Arabian Gulf (depending who you talked to) to face a potential threat from Iran?
Nah…..
It stationed them just 20 minutes flight time from the Arabs’s kilab yahud (Jew dog) enemies in Israel instead. Recall the Saudis joined their Arab brothers in attacking Israel before, in 1948 and in 1973.
The Wahhabi Salafi jihadi imams dominate mosques all over the world, and are the most antisemitic, let alone anti-Israel, hate spewing teachers in Islam.
Saudi Arabia provided the vast majority of the perpetrators of 9/11 atrocities against America, and former Secretary of State James Baker III’s law firm was/is the legal defense agency defending the Saudis against the families of 9/11’s almost 3,000 victims.
Would you like to obtain a copy of antisemitic books like the Russian forgery, “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion?”
Years ago when I worked for a much better led ADL while attending the Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies, I dropped by the NYC Saudi consulate and picked one up…

Saudi Arabia’s “Peace (of the grave) Plan,” which The Donald seems to now agree to, calls for Israel to remain forever a 9-15 mile wide rump state, with no territorial compromise to its suicidal ‘49 Auschwitz/armistice lines which indeed Israel was promised via UNSC Res 242 in the aftermath of the June ‘67 War, started by an Egyptian naval blockade of Israel, a casus belli.
And it demands creation of a SECOND state for Arabism in the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine as well…Jordan created via lopping off almost 80% of the original territory in 1922.
The recent actions in the United Nauseating Nations on this issue, which Trump, bowing to the wishes of his trillionaire Qatari and Saudi business partners, apparently now endorses as well, create existential problems for the sole, beleaguered nation of the Jewish People.
Said plan also calls for Israel to allow itself to be inundated by tens of thousands of Hamas indoctrinated alleged refugees.
Note that as a result of the combined Arab attack on a resurrected Israel Reborn in ‘48, TWO refugee stories emerged…
More Sefardi and Mizrahi Jews fled Arab and other Arabized Muslim lands than Arabs who fled in the opposite direction because of a war that their brethren started in the first place.
Unlike Arab refugees, who got the United Nauseating Nations to create a separate agency just for themselves, UNRWA (members who joined the Hamas bloodlust of October 7, 2023), Jewish refugees received nothing.
This next analysis debunks the Saudi, French, and UN’s machinations nicely…be sure not to miss the internal links as well.

In the recent war instigated by the Arabized Aryan mullahs (who despise Iran’s past glorious non-Islamic history), in which they supplied their assorted Arab jihadi proxies with scores of thousands of rockets, missiles, drones, and other means of terror and destruction to wreak havoc upon a 9-15 mile wide Israel for decades prior to the most recent conflagration, Israel was finally faced with no other choice than to try put an end to this deadly nightmare.
What nation on Earth would have waited as long as Israel did to finally take defensive actions to end this state of affairs? NONE…
The final episode occurred when very powerful ballistic missiles were deliberately targeted at major Israeli civilian targets by Iran itself.
Israel then—despite unbelievable warnings and threats from the Trump administration, via VP Vance—unleashed pure hell against its would be executioners.
Only after Israel took all the risks in knocking out the sophisticated Russian anti-aircraft missiles and radar systems, along with other key military and strategic targets, did the Trump team finally decide to act.
It finally dawned on them that the Chinese, North Korean, and Russian allies of the
would be atomic ayatollah were very likely aiming to resupply Iran with not only conventional ballistic missiles, but ICBMs as well…meaning America, “the Big Satan” in Iran’s mindset, could also be targeted as Iran’s “Little Satan,” Israel, had suffered for decades.
So America took action to attempt to finish what Israel had already mostly accomplished by using its arsenal of massive bunker buster bombs to reach Iran’s deep underground nuclear facilities.
President Trump immediately proclaimed “peace at hand,” and his total victory over Iran’s nuclear ambitions, practically ignoring Israel’s far more dangerous role in this.
Well, recent reports now tell a very different story, and together with the mediocre ceasefire “deal” Trump forced Israel to accept instead of total victory, which was in its reach before the President forced it to give up the important military momentum it paid dearly to achieve in two years of fighting, Israel will be once again very likely be paying in Jewish blood for deals made with Arab oil potentates and real estate and other business partners…
Finally, yet even more distressing news is coming out of the Trump White House, the President is forcing Israel to allow about 200 Hamas beheaders of Jewish infants it now has trapped in tunnels to go free…
Truly surreal, and outright hostile…a capitulation to Witkoff and Trump’s Hamas enabling Qatari business partners…
“Dozens of Hamas fighters remain trapped in Gaza tunnels, threatening the ceasefire.”

Email recieved from Avigdor:
It’s worrying that we have to keep wondering what Trump is thinking – seems we can’t count on his doing nothing that would threaten Israel’s security. My prayer every morning is for G-d to bless and support Donald Trump FOR AS LONG AS HE BLESSED AND SUPPORTS ISRAEL. After all, that support is what the Bible demands of every person and every nation. And Trump does seem to know the Bible, at least parts of it.
I DO NOT Believe that Trump would sell exact copies of the F35 to any Arab country or ememy of Israel.
His word “similar” does not mean “exact copy”.
He’ll sell the similar item but without the extra Israeli gimmicks that make it so superior. And as someone commented ..”
they don’t have the piolotsthat Israel has….”
SO TRUE…..!!
@Edgar
Israel’s F35-I Adair is unique. No other nation has access to this exact version of the f35.
What is being sold to the Saudi’s will be one of the variants of the f35 series, but not the f35-I Adair. This being stated, the IDF handed a policy paper to Israeli Knesset members detailing their concerns of Israel’s aid superiority being eroded by the sale of the f35 to Saudi Arabia, particularly in light of the possibility of access being granted to the Chinese.
I’m very glad that you and I have the same opinion.
Your opinion alone is very valued by me, regardless of the “rush to judgment of most others”
Edgar,
Very kind of you to say. Likewise, I have always read your comments with the greatest of regard.
Interestingly, now that the US will be selling its f335s to the Saudis, and probably other Sunni govts, this leaves Israel in a catch 22 regarding its hopes to focus more exclusively on developing and depending on its own military arms complex.
This reminds me of Reagan selling the Saudis AWACS and much else despite Israeli objections. Selling the Egyptians Abrams tanks and so on and so on.
THe Arabs and others complai of the Israel lobby but the Arabs have always had massiv eleverage from the oil firms and OAPEC. It was big oil that subsidised/sponsored the JOhn Birch crowd backwhen Antisemitism was still acceptable.
Every time we strengthen the Umma, its members become ever more hostile, especially when backboneless politicians start to jail people who protest: their own people, that is. I thought Trump would be diametrically different, but…
In fact, if you consider that 9/11 was actually a great muslim victory, you’ll notice how things have consistently picked up for them since that date. More and more violence everywhere – even in Afrrica – and more and more hubris to boot.
I believe I can see where we are headed, but I won’t be so bold as to mention it even to myself. There comes a time…
