Original Note:
"and not one single American dollar" is false. Since WW2, USA has given Israel ~$260B in aid, much of it for military. Plus another $10B for their Iron Dome defense system (currently being used in the war). The grants require the buying of American technology & hardware. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2023-10-10/how-much-aid-does-the-u-s-give-to-israel https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/11/how-big-is-israels-military-and-how-much-funding-does-it-get-from-the-us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–United_States_relations https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/house-approves-14-5-billion-in-assistance-for-israel-as-biden-vows-to-veto-the-gop-plan
