Dominican Republic has also recently bought weapons from Israel. We got IwI ARAD 5/7, IwI Tavox X95s and Negev 7s. The fact that Israel is currently in a conflict and is able to provide real proof of these weapons in combat is a huge selling point.

Have you shot a tavor? I kinda like the bullpup approach but the recoil is much sharper compared to an AR.

Only the ARAD in 556 so far.

More proof that Israel isn't isolated as many idiots falsely claim.

Oh, Israel has weaponry to sell and give away? Great! Guess we can stop sending them more!

Those contracts are and always have been money being exchanged. Whether in the form of research or flat out US saying "you can buy X amount from our manufacturers". It is almost never taxpayer money and always money going into your economy yet somehow this Al Jazeera inspired talking point lives on.

The US gives billions of dollars to Israel every year. What are you talking about?

It’s coupons. By your logic my grocery store gives me hundreds of dollars every year.

The truth. Unless you can prove otherwise.

How much of that is REQUIRED to be spent in the U.S. is the key question.....

Most of it. Why would that matter though? It's effectively donating weapons with extra steps, but it still costs us billions.

GlassBit7081 Apr 20, 2026 +8
Because then it's not actually donating weapons. 1. It's an internal American subsidy to the Military Industrial complex. That's one of it's primary aims. 2. It keeps American jobs in America. 3. It keeps allies from building their own, competing military industrial complexes, and Israel's would be a direct threat to 1000's of U.S. jobs. 4. It gives the U.S. HUGE control over allies. 5. The "subsidy" then battle tests the weapons that allows them to be improved and acts as a sales platform. NOBODY is going to trust Russian anti missile tech after Iran. You can absolutely argue that NONE of these cumulatively add up to the downside of allying with Israel. That's fair. It's just a terrible argument.

It’s not literally giving weapons, there’s just another step. What is the substantive difference? Regardless of whether the rest of your points are any good (they are not), clearly we give disproportionate aid in the form of billions of dollars each year for weapons to Israel. That was the original point up for debate and nothing you’ve said contradicts that.

Donation = I give XX dollars to another party A and have no control. Subsidy = I give XX dollars to another party A and they HAVE to give it back to me. Because of how infra lock in works, the party A then has to spend MORE of their own money on all of the other peripherals. Imagine I gave you an Apple iPhone for free. You now have to spend your own money on the plug, the appstore, the phone line rental, etc.

Then in that case, why not buy elsewhere and eliminate the talking point? Could it be that the purchases are heavily subsidized by US tax payers and the big w***** as always is the arms industry?

I don't disagree that it's all just a big win for the military industrial complex. But it will be that no matter what country is hosting the production. At least be honest about the actual circumstances when you spout out non-sequitors like that.

US arms Israel and Israel arms Argentina. So the US arms the two of them. The US tax dollar goes a long way.

These are Israeli manufactured weapons that aren’t funded by US

In your dreamy bot Islamist world run from Russia/China every single thing that is related to Israel is somehow related to US tax dollars. You are so pathetic.

The US gives Israel M4s for free, Israel sells Argentina, a country resorting to eat donkey meat because Milei is sinking it to extreme poverty, some locally made untested rifles because Milei wants to use Argentina's last pennies to fund Israel.

The donkey meat story is fake news blown out of proportion story. Locally made untested weapons is a funny thing to call it, when Israel is the 3rd largest exporter of weapons, some of the most high tech solutions for air defense and ground warfare. Some notable examples of said "Untested rifles" - The Arad, Tavor or Negev rifles. You are more than welcome to read on them in your own free time, they are praised guns.

>The donkey meat story is fake news blown out of proportion story Literally every single mainstream news outlet in Argentina is reporting that people are buying donkey meat because Milei destroyed the economy.

Royroy87 Apr 19, 2026 +6
One supplier somewhere in south Argentina has decided to sell donkey meat. Saying the whole country is eating donkey meat is quite a spin on things no?

Nation of the 45milion people, once the powerhouse of the South America, equal to Brazil, simply unable to produce its own rifles. Sad ? Funny ? idk. Third world nations tend to import rifles from oversees; did Milei cook Argentina that bad? Also, Israel isn't exactly well known of producing c**** stuff, their own military chose to use surplus yank-m4/m16 giveaways, over its own IWI made rifles. Country with wide food scarcity choosing to spend in foreign currency doesn't scream like plan for success.

>once the powerhouse of the South America, equal to Brazil, simply unable to produce its own rifles. Sad ? Funny ? idk Don't be obtuse. Outside of maybe Germany, I can't think of a single major nation that develops all the small arms for their forces. Even the US uses mostly Belgian and German guns. Importing weapons is not a sign of a suffering economy. It's better to buy something that definitely works than to build a new gun and pray it's better than the one you could get from FN. Which it probably won't be.
