US Frets Over Saudi F-35s While Arming Israeli Apartheid
When The Hill publishes a piece titled 'How Trump’s Saudi F-35 deal could alter Mideast balance of power,' it's truly a masterclass in selective amnesia. They paint a picture of regional instability, but conveniently omit any mention of Israel's already formidable, US-supplied air force, including F-35s. The real concern, rarely articulated by mainstream media, is maintaining Israel's 'Qualitative
Military Edge' (QME)—a statutory US commitment to ensure Israel's superiority over all its neighbors. This isn't about balance; it's about control. The US has effectively subsidized Israel's military dominance, to the tune of over $3.8 billion annually in military aid, according to the Congressional Research Service reports. So, when 'analysts' fret over Saudi Arabia potentially acquiring jets
that Israel already deploys, one has to ask: is the 'balance' truly the issue, or merely the uncomfortable mirroring of Washington's own double standards?
