Mistaken Trust

Israeli "leadership" has left its self-defense – at least an important segment of it – to the US, a nation that certainly has interests that are substantially different than Israel's. Debka reports that the US radar system deployed in the Negev will be run by US crews and decisions on if and when Israel gets data, such as a Iranian missile launch, will be made by the Pentagon:

The FBX-T [radar system] will not only be able to track Iranian and Syrian missiles and aircraft but also keep watch on Israeli operations, giving Washington a handle for stalling them. DEBKAfile’s military sources point out that the Americans are suddenly in a hurry to have the system deployed in the Negev as soon as September. They will then be in position to forestall a possible Israeli pre-emptive attack on Iran’s nuclear installations should one be decided in Jerusalem.

The US has apparently used military data in the past to help Israel's enemies in a time of war. Placing trust in the nations is certainly a mistake.
