Quote:Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has confirmed that the United States is planning a significant increase in military and defence aid to Israel.

The package would reportedly amount to more than $30bn (£14.8bn) over the next 10 years.

Mr Olmert described it as an important element for the security of Israel.

Washington is reportedly preparing a package of major arms sales to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states because of concerns over Iran's nuclear programme.

US defence aid to Israel currently stands at $2.4bn a year - the new package would amount to a 25% increase.

thats right america, solve everything by selling more fucking guns Baffled
makes perfect sense.

If Israel doesn't have new weapons their ememies won't need to buy more, so the US is just ensuring perpetuation of confilct so more arms can be sold.
