      Israel does make some of their own weapons. (Have you ever heard of the Uzi or Desert Eagle?) Just not enough for their current goals. I’ve heard that proposed as a reason the US provides them so many weapons, to suppress the growth of their local weapons industry.

        Israel is the only country whose aid doesn’t have to be spent on US goods. The US created Israel’s arms industry.
