Defending American lives, redefining the future.

Kibbutz Sasa saves the lives of countless American troops with its advanced armor technologies. Ambassador Shapiro saw this first hand on January 30 when he visited the Plasan factory in northern Galilee. The Ambassador saw the full range of products, from reactive armor, to purpose built vehicles, to body armor. Plasan has delivered more than 8,000 armor kits to U.S units on active duty.
Israel is a world leader in armor technology and the Ambassador expressed his gratitude for the dedication to quality expressed at Plasan.

Nestled in the forested hills of northern Israel, Kibbutz Sasa does more than just forge armor, they also forge connections. Their unique theater program called Bereshit l'Shalom brings young people together from all sectors of Israeli society. Jews, Arabs, Druze, or Circassian, all use the art of theater and dance to express the importance of working across society's boundaries to interact with others based on similarities, not differences. This successful program has performed throughout Israel and Europe.

It's no brainer why Israel can offer the most advanced DEFENSE technology when she is surrounded by the Arab Islamists who are committed to her destruction since her birth. And guess what, your comment is still here after 4 hours.

Yup, these vehicles are actually built by Navistar Defense, and I think Plasan just provides the armour for them.

We are a warrior humanity. It is in our DNA. The booty of war goes to the victorious. If the Palestine people had out-smarted and out-forced the Israelites, then they would be making tanks for the Americans and having their kids dance of love and kindness too.

Yeah just economics, as there are no threats. Common.

This is good information. However, it should also be noted the the DOD used multiple manufactures for MRAPS and up-armor kits. For example Oshkosh Corp. in Oshkosh Wisconsin manufactures both as well.

Our tax dollars at work supporting the Israeli defense industry. So glad we support them in maintaining a 5% unemployment rate!

So if I understand well, the services that the US Embassy at Tel Aviv (not Jerusalem) are those of a sale desk for Israeli weapon manufacturers and public relations of the State of Israel.

Of course, my comment won't be published as it tarnishes the US Embassy service.

I will post it elsewhere with links toward this video.
