you know ,you are right , it would be a waste of US aid money to a certain welfare state
Israel gets some military aid thats all this aid is less than 1.5% of our GNP. You get 60 billion petrodollars each year. Without these money you would be Zimbabwe level.
, because the must you can do is when your systems fail ,
In 1973 Israeli made missile boats armed with Israeli made anti ship missiles and Israeli made countermeasures destroyed without a single loss Soviet made missile boats.

Your biggest achievement so far is losing a frigate when you foolishly tried to blockade shipping in Gulf. So sit quiet there.

then they come up with the ridiculous claims that the shore launcher launched two missile one hit them and one hit the Egyptian ship , well poor Israeli seems at the time didn't knew that that missiles only had 32 km of range and it was impossible for them to fly for 90-100 km
Daily Star Egypt, July 18, 2006:
Crew of Egyptian ship hit by Hezbollah rocket return to Cairo
CAIRO: Eleven crew members of an Egyptian merchant ship returned to Cairo on Monday, three days after their cargo vessel was hit by a Hezbollah rocket during an attack on an Israeli warship off the Lebanese capital Beirut. One injured crew member remained in a Syrian hospital.
The Cambodian-flagged Moonlight, bound for the Syrian port of Tartus with a cargo of cement, was struck by a rocket on Friday and set on fire.
'Suddenly there was a loud explosion near the fuel tanks which caught fire. The crew members were unable to extinguish it,' ship captain Abdel-Hamid Abdel-Fattah told reporters.
Mohammed Al-Redi of the Al-Redi Agency that owned the ship said last week that the Moonlight was 35 km off of the Lebanese coast when it was hit, well outside the 3-mile blockade Israel imposed on the Lebanese shoreline.
Abdel-Fattah said another Egyptian ship, the Al-Marwa, also carrying cement and owned by the same company, rescued the crew and took it to Syria. Both vessels had left the Egyptian port of Damietta on Wednesday.
