Pentagon Gifts Israel $8.6 Billion F-15s, Calls it 'Humanitarian Aid'
The Pentagon announced an $8.6 billion contract to Boeing for F-15IA jets for Israel, with an option for 25 more. This timely announcement (after a Netanyahu-Trump meeting, no less) follows years of U.S. administrations touting 'de-escalation' while simultaneously authorizing gargantuan arms sales. It’s hard to imagine how adding 50 advanced fighter jets to an already volatile region is anything
but pouring fuel on a scorching fire. One might wonder if this also qualifies as part of the alleged 'humanitarian' effort. This isn't just about jets; it's about the money trail funding perpetual conflict. According to OpenSecrets.org, Boeing is a major player in defense lobbying, spending millions to ensure these contracts keep flowing. The same politicians who decry civilian casualties are
consistently approving these deals, making one question where their priorities truly lie. How many more F-15s until the 'unbreakable bond' becomes truly unbreakable—because there’s nothing left?
