Kissinger and Nixon

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

Incorrect informations

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.

Export dollars per job

The article states "The free trade agreement with Israel creates the most American jobs per export dollar of all of the United States' free trade agreements [4]". The reference states "exports to Israel generate the highest amount of export dollars per job" and gives figures backing this up. It look to me as if 'jobs per export dollar' in the article should be changed to 'export dollars per job'?

Use of subjective language

In the section on Kennedy’s presidency, the article contains the sentence

‘ The United Nations General assembly was generally anti-Israel, but all decisions were subject to American veto power in the Security Council. According to international law, UNGA resolutions are not legally binding while UNSC resolutions are.’

I would like to suggest removal of the first part of this sentence, as this “anti-Israel” phrase is a subjective personal judgement.

An alternative edit could change the first part of the sentence to ‘[unga] adopted many resolutions critical of/opposed to Israel‘ or something similar.

Either way, it is my view that the current language is not objective. 145.15.244.217 (talk) 13:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The second sentence of the second paragraph of the introduction does not begin with a capital letter. 'the' should be changed to 'The'.

I checked the edit history to make sure it wasn't a sentence that had been erroneously cut in half in a way that could change the meaning; it isn't, it's been like that since it was added. Throckmorpheus (talk) 19:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
