ISRAEL IS NOT OUR LITTLE BUDDY

I found this nugget in a WaPo article about China's military prowess:
Indeed, China has ordered scores of engines from the Salyut and Chernyshev factories for three of its new fighters - the J11B, a Chinese knock-off of the Russian Su-27; the J10, which China is believed to have developed with Israeli help; and the FC1, which China modeled on an aborted Soviet design.

The former editor of the NYT, Rosenberg I believe, back circa the 1990s, gave forth with a subdued ex post facto lamentation about Israeli anti-American dealings with China.

I also recall something in the early 90s about Israel giving some of our secrets to the USSR.
