Israel pays the price for buying only Boeing (and not Airbus)
"Kevin Brooks" wrote in message om... (Quant) wrote in message . com... This post is specially for brooks. Hebrew: http://www.globes.co.il/serve/globes...asp?did=701548 Israel Aircraft Industries was excluded from the Airbus 380 project because of a political decision of the goverment of Israel to buy only Boeing planes by El Al. What brand of cheese do you prefer to go with that whine? Hey, turn down the billions in US dollars your nation receives each year from the US taxpayers, then you can come back and whine about losing out on this contract as much as you want (and one wonders how much of the antagonism was also due to European dissatisfaction with the actions of the Israeli government over the past few years...?). Israeli pilots were making jokes about nuking Paris not so many weeks ago. I think AI has made an enemy. |

Exactly what "price" are you talking about? What would the benefits of being included in the Airbus 380 project have been and would they have outweighed the costs? |

Never heard the story anywhere! Your pedaling bull****.
"Anthony" wrote in message ... France has been an enemy of Israel since the 1970s when the French government sold Israel to the Arabs for a few litres of oil (paid good (Mirages, ships, etc.) not delivered, orders suddenly cancelled, etc.). Israel discovered decades ago that Europeans cannot be trusted, and the US can (or at least is more trustworthy than Europe) so they deal with the US not Europe. Ever hear the story where Israel relabelled Brazilian (?) oranges and goods produced in the illegally occupied territories as Israeli produce in order to defraud Europe? There is a group of people who cannot be trusted, and it isn't the Europeans. |

LOL! Not hardly. You need to retake that course in logic--the salient points apparently did not stick with you. I am merely pointing out that whining about your economic/military dependency upon the US and any negative impacts can easily be rendered moot by declaring you won't accept further US aid (like *that* will ever happen).
