Actually it's entirely on topic because it shows an alternative reality starkly juxtaposed against humanitarian propaganda. I have no doubt if this was China or Russia or Saudi Arabia being discussed it would be fair game. Israel deserves to be held to a far higher level of scrutiny given its military might is entirely funded by US tax payers and AIPAC controlled Congress.

US provides Israel with roughly $5-6B in military funding which has to be spent back with US suppliers (please add details if anyone has it)
The total IDF budget in 2011 (latest I could find and has increased) is over $20b.

I dont think $6B=$20B.
