>>The current "relationship" between Israel and the USA began only in 1969, after the French embargo on weapon sales to Israel.<<

Apirchik I am sure I am a lot older than you. You are incorrect. The relationship actually began in 1948. Does President Truman ring a bell?

Yes I had the pleasure of watching De Gaulle's famous speach on TV in 1967. France placed an embargo in 1967 and they can do it again on Airbus spare parts. The EU threatened an embargo only 5 years ago at the time of Jenin.
