Yes, I replied to someone who implied that the USA has been giving Israel military aid since 1944.
I don't understand what are you trying to say with the rest of your reply.
I already wrote that Israel bought it from the USA.
USA only started selling weapons to Israel in the 1960's, and initially only defensive weapons.
Before that, the USA had an arms embargo on Israel. Israel got its weapons from Czechoslovakia (under Soviet rule) and later, France.
These systems were bought years before the US military grants were started for Israel.
I highly doubt it. But one can hope.
Systems Israel bought and later also upgraded to GEM+.
In 2023, the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey received 781 reports of torture or ill-treatment. There was a spike in reports in June and July, correlating with increased police interventions during Pride Week events.

How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.
A state that is currently glorifying Nazi collaborators will automatically be dismissed as hostile to Jews and to Israel. Any action of theirs in related matters is therefore irrelevant.
Unless they have a different goal. Like getting closer to states like Iran.
And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I'll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.
How is that relevant to news sources?
I was pointing out that Armenia is currently glorifying a Nazi collaborator, building statues of him and calling him a hero. Not in the past.
They also know what collaborating with the Nazis is like.

How Armenia’s glorification of a Nazi collaborator has gone unnoticed
So I don't think Armenia's decision will have much of an effect. Maybe other countries.
I mean.. It's even in the name there. RAF is Royal Air Force.
The sovereign base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is a British Overseas Territory. Cyprus has no sovereignty over that area.
If that's Hezbollah's issue, they should've threatened the UK.
Adding to the other comment, Cyprus has also welcomed tens of thousands of Lebanese refugees over the years since the 80s, and lobbied the EU to financially assist Lebanon.

Surprising, but sounds positive. A civil administration in Gaza sponsored by Arab countries and without the involvement of Israel? Won't that be a precursor to a Palestinian state?

Yeap. Although this "trend" isn't very new.
Antisemites calling all Jews, Zionists, was done from even before the founding of the state of Israel. One example from before its founding, is of Muhammad Rashid Rida.
How is the link tenuous?
You could write the same thing about neo-nazi violence.
There's a clear issue here.
The reality is that this is a part of a global spike of cases against Jews since the 7th of October, who are targeted because they are Jews.
It could've been someone else. Another Jew. Like the other French Jewish woman who was raped because she's a Jew and was done as "revenge" in the eyes of the perpetrator.
How is this "pro-IDF"?
I thought people here aren't pro-Hamas?
This whole week I posted.. 1 article about Hamas. Truly hustling.
The "Plenty of articles like those here." was a reply to the first part of your post.
Yeah, it's receiving coverage because there has been a serious spike in hatred and violence specifically towards Jews since the 7th of October. Not just in France.
And the rape was specifically because she's a Jew. Like the other recent case of a French Jewish woman who was raped specifically because she's a Jew.
Plenty of articles like those here.
And plenty of people denying there's any rise in hatred and violence towards Jews.

Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It wasn't "invented" by Israel.
And Israel didn't fund them, but it's true that Bibi let Qatar money reach Hamas when he could've blocked it.
