"How did this become a thread on Israel?
Because Israel is one of the leading arms dealers wth the fastest drone industry on the planet

It was not started as a thread about Israel or even a thread about arms dealing. Look at the opening post. I'll repeat it here.

Just watching 'Children in Need' on the beeb and the thought struck me that a lot of these projects should get government funding, not charity. I think we have our priorities wrong somewhere. Maybe we should spend a huge chunk of the arms budget on helping kids and get the depratment of defense to do a telthon to raise funds to buy arms?


It is a thread about getting our priorities wrong. I don't know how I can make it any clearer.

If you chose to make it about Israel I suppose that is your prerogative but all that achieves is getting yet another thread closed. Surely, if you want to talk about Israel, you should start your own thread rather than hijack someone else's?
