Israel Air force to get F-35 stealth aircraft

[Pasban]

The article is incorrect in saying Israel will be the first nation to receive the F-35s. The UK (who is a partner in the program) will be the first to receive hers and Australia is scheduled to receive hers in 2014, whereas Israel is projected to likely receive its by 2015.

The intent of the article seems to be to troll and make people angry that Israel is getting stealth before others and perhaps exclusively.

It is dead wrong. Israel missed the boat with F-35 and almost every other country will get F-35 before it. When a country like Canada can get 65 F-35 and Israel only 25, you know there is something suspicious. The Israelis are getting the dregs, the leftovers and it is absolutely not guaranteed. And what they do get they will be paying 1.5 to 2 times what partners are paying.

Face it, Israel lost with F-35 and will never get F-22. So much for the so-called Jewish lobby/conspiracy.
