    Germany OKs subsidized submarine sale to Israel

    BERLIN (AP) — A senior German official says the government has approved the subsidized sale of another Dolphin-type military submarine to Israel.

    The official says Germany has set aside euro135 million ($180 million) in next year's budget to pay for about a third of its cost.

    Dolphin-class submarines are capable of carrying nuclear-tipped missiles, but there is no evidence that Israel has armed them with such weapons.

    Israel already has three Dolphin submarines from Germany — one half-funded and two entirely funded by Berlin, a staunch Israeli ally.

    The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said Wednesday a 2005 agreement between the two nations included an option for another subsidized submarine which was now activated at Israel's request.

      Im sure all the German citizens love giving free multi-million dollar submarines to Israel, Israel must have the same amount of influence in Germany as they do in the US

        What the Germans did in the past is horrible, but what Americans did to Africans and Native Americans is horrible as well, just not as bad. Of course, they feel bad about it and the Jews don't run Germany nor the US. The US still pays Native Americans centuries later and the Germans still pay those German Jews who survived. I just read an article today stating that Germany doubled it's payment to Jewish Germans.

      And yet Israel has the gall to complain about Iran. Why doesn't Israel allow inspections like the USA, Russia, Iran, and other nuclear countries do?

        Get your facts right, Russian and the US DO NOT reveal their nuclear capacity to the world... Where is your info coming from?

        That's just great. Psychopaths with nukes and subs.

        Officially Israel has no nuclear weapons. Where do people get such drivel? Officially Iran has no nuclear weapons; it only wants to use nuclear power for energy. So people read too much into this-- into a frenzy.
        Okay we all know the Iranian government is off the wall and says stupid things but unless they actually do something we should let things be.
        We need a rest here for a while. We will always be available to defend freedom however.

      Let the Germans take upon themselves the blame for the bloody terror and death that the Zionist entity will cause, empowered by this weapon extorted from Europe by constant assertion of the Holocaust Lie.

      Israel needs to stand down or go away...Germany will regret these sales when Israel tries to use them against Germans and German interests. Jews are loyal only to Jews. Sometimes.

      Germany rocks, if the Dolphin submarine carries Tomahawk cruise missles you can say goodbye to those Nuclear reactors in Iraq and Iran. Bye..Bye..
    • John  •  Atlanta, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Like I said before Iran can have its nuclear weapons an in a matter of minutes it will be a glass plant for nukes fired from subs. How stupid are these people!!
