U.S. PROVIDING ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE SHIELD TO ISRAEL
MER - WASHINGTON - 2/15/99: Within a year or two Israel is likely to become the first
country in the world to have an anti-ballistic missile shield. This is being rushed
forward with considerable funding and technological help from the U.S. It is even now
rumored that the U.S. is going to provide Israel with the real-time radar and satellite
tracking capability needed for such a system to function properly and without which Israel
could not deploy a working system so quickly. Israel will in effect be hooked up to the
American worldwide defense system for the first time ever in order to achieve this goal.
The Arab states as usual are impotent. Whereas the Chinese have told the Americans
unequivocally "NO" when it comes to providing a ballistic missile shield for
Taiwan; the Arab states continue to play deaf and dumb when it comes to the further
encroachment of American and Israeli military prowess to control the area once known as
the Arab world.
The Israelis also possess a huge arsenal of nuclear, chemical, andbiological weapons.
Indeed, the military strength of the little State of Israel is estimated to be about eight
times that of all the Arab armies combined! Beyond the new anti-ballistic missile system,
the Americans will also soon be providing Israel with up to a hundred new fighter
aircraft.
Israel's Arrow-2 missile, developed with considerable U.S. money and Pentagon help, is
the actual launch vehicle involved in this major escalation of Israel's military
capabilities. But the American system of worldwide monitoring, satellite, and radar
tracking, is what will make it possible for the the Arrow-2 to work with the speed and
reliability that is needed. Israel has become a major sub-contractor for the Pentagon in
the past few decades since the 1967 and 1973 wars; and the U.S. has become the big brother
for Israel in ways not imaginable at the time of those wars. During the 1973 War, for
instance, the Nixon/Kissinger White House was very reluctant to be seen to be providing
Israel with military supplies and attempted to resupply Israel through private channels.
The Pentagon only began airlifting military equipment to Israel in a major public way when
Israel's survival was in question and then Defense Minister General Moshe Dayan had begun
to order tactical nuclear weapons to the battlefield.
