| What pressure can the US put on Israel? Not much. By cutting off aid? Thanks to Bibi the Israeli taxpayer could absorb such a burden fairly easily because US aid, even when combined with the Diaspora`s donations, equals less than 2 percent of Israel`s GDP. Cutting of weapons supplies? That would mean firing the engineers, technicians and blue-collar workers involved in manufacturing what the IDF buys from the U.S. Can you imagine that at this present time? Israel is also the US`s only true ally in the region. People who imagine that the US can simply bully Israel into doing things that it doesn`t want are simply short on facts. Martin |
