And if you continue to attack and you continue to do things without telling us and asking us, without asking us first, we're paying for it, you're going to ask us first.

Then we are going to negate our other part of the deal.

And our part of the deal says that we defend Israel.

And we provide their Iron Dome system.

We provide their air defense.

We provide a lot of their defense.

We provide a lot of the funding for the Iron Dome, for sure.

For sure.

So I would say to the Israelis very bluntly,

You're done going on the offense.

We will tell you what operations you can conduct.

If you disobey us and you don't run your operations by us that we're paying for, then we are going to start taking away features of your defense system to the point where all you can do with your military basically is stay on the defense.

That's the only way to restrain the Israelis, in my opinion.

I think we're past the point of being able to have, like, hey, nice conversations.

Like, hey, could you guys please not?

Because every time we say, could you please not, the Israelis say, yeah, sure, that sounds good.

And they turn around and they conduct strikes that basically negate any kind of negotiation that we're trying to pursue.

Again, as frustrating as people, as I get with the Israelis sometimes, they're not very subtle.

Like, the Israelis are not doing a lot of, like, lying and BSing to us.

Like, they're pretty upfront with what they're doing and what they plan to do.
