Kissinger and Nixon[edit]

This article is missing a massive amount of information concerning Nixon's aid to Israel during the late 60's and early 70's.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 4 February 2021[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate.

Incorrect informations[edit]

Firstly, in the introduction:

"Israel is designated by the United States as a major non-NATO ally, and was the first country to be granted this status alongside Egypt in 1987; Israel and Egypt remain the only countries in the Middle East to have this designation."

That statement is false, see list and chronology about major non-NATO allies.

Secondly, in the "United States aid" section:

"FMF is intended to promote US national security by contributing to global stability, strengthening military support for democratically elected governments and containing transnational threats, including terrorism and trafficking of weapons."

This is a US Government presentation of what the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program is, according to them. It is what we commonly call "Communication". And the claim that the FMF is for "strengthening military support for democratically elected governments" is not something that should be presented as a fact in a Wikipedia article. And here also, consulting a list, of countries that are recipients of that program, should be enough to realise that this statement is false.

Change X:

Then senator Jesse Helms, argued that the military foothold offered by Israel in the region alone justified the expense of American military aid; referring to Israel as "America's aircraft carrier in the Middle East".^[1]^[2]

to Y:

Then senator Jesse Helms, argued that the military foothold offered by Israel in the region alone justified the expense of American military aid; referring to Israel as "America's aircraft carrier in the Middle East".^[1]^[3]

According to the political analyst Martin Kramer, Israel because of its status as a nuclear weapons power has helped in keeping the nations of the eastern Mediterranean region or Levant militarily manageable for The United States of America, and that Israel's nuclear arsenal has helped to prevent by way of nuclear deterrence a major Arab-Israeli war since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when the then Soviet backed nations of Syria and Egypt launched a surprise attack on Israel. The nations bordering Israel, including the occupied Palestinian territories, are Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.^[4] Suspended Time (talk) 06:52, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Suspended Time: is this to be understood that you aren't looking for a change but an addition of the second paragraph? A change to the lead would require a little more consensus, and personally I think this is too much ({{leadtoolong}}). Is there another place you think this content may be more appropriate? microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 19:24, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was originally looking for an extension to the first paragraph. Maybe the second paragraph could be placed after the section in the Wikipedia article dealing with how Israel increases the geostrategic power and influence of the United States in the Middle East, or in the current section already dealing with Israel's nuclear arsenal. Suspended Time (talk) 01:03, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe my original request could be placed after the sentence ending with footnote number 9, or in the paragraph dealing with Israel's quantitative military edge. Suspended Time (talk) 01:46, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: I meant qualitative military edge. Suspended Time (talk) 01:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
