Original Note:
The phrase "all paid for" is an exaggeration. While the US has given Israel more than $3 billion in aide since Oct 7 (including $500 million in weapons), Israel's military budget is roughly $23 billion/year, the bulk of which is paid for with Israeli tax dollars. 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/United_States_support_for_Israel_in_the_2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war
