U.S. HYPOCRITICALLY SANCTIONS ISRAEL OVER ARMS DEAL
THE U.S. CONTINUES TO SELL ARMS TO ISRAEL'S ENEMIES BUT COMPLAINS WHEN ISRAEL SELLS ARMS TO CHINA.
U.S. sanctions Israel over arms deal
U.S. sanctions against Israel over an arms deal with China will remain in effect until Israel improves monitoring sensitive exports, it was reported Wednesday. The crisis erupted over Israel's sale to China of replacement parts for Harpy attack drones, the Ha'aretz newspaper reported. The drones that were sold in the mid-1990s reportedly can destroy enemy radar transmitters. The deal with China provided for upgrading them, Ha'aretz said.
The U.S. sanctions follow legislation that imposed a 5-year ban on purchasing defense items from any state that sells arms to China. Israel has acquiesced to most of the demands, but the United States then made additional demands, Ha'aretz said.
The report said that Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, who about to go to Washington to discuss the issue, but canceled the trip because of the new U.S. demands. The United States reportedly wants the Knesset to pass a law, within 18 months, tightening control over military exports. It demands also a written apology from Israel and Mofaz, Ha'aretz said.

The big question here is why is the US asking for a law to be passed by a foriegn jursdiction for which they don't have and should not have any control of. Israel is not a US COLONY!!!!!
Chutzpah is not the word, CRIMINAL is the word.
Talk about dragging Israel in the mud in front of the rest of the world...this would be VERY bad PR.
