Without American backing the Israelis wouldn't last a Week.

Rubbish ignorant talk.

What makes you say that?

Israel lasted for 20 years before they got US support.

Palestinians wouldn't last a week without American taxpayers paying for UNWRA for the last 80 years.

I have the transcript somewhere of Netanyahu’s speech to Congress setting out a plan to go it alone. Bill Clinton talked him out of it.

And you’re right, the millions going into Gaza. For what? The tunnels?

And…..not to forget - Egypt, tax payers’ funds supporting that country.

Yeah, he also recently said that he wants to wean Israel off the DSCA.

The only "aid" Israel gets from the US is aid to buy weapons solely and exclusively from US manufacturers. They cannot spend that money on anything else. And it's less aid than we give to some of Israel's neighbors like Saudi Arabia.

And you’re right, the millions going into Gaza. For what? The tunnels?

Yeah, unfortunately. All those concrete imports over the years were used to make tunnels instead of building things like housing, or schools, or infrastructure.

Yep.

Yes. Loan guarantees.

U.S. loan guarantees to Israel act as cosigned credit rather than direct cash aid. The U.S. guarantees commercial loans, allowing Israel to secure favorable terms (lower interest rates and longer maturities). Because Israel has a flawless repayment history, these guarantees function at zero cost and zero financial risk to U.S. taxpayers

The US gives $billions every year.

The US gives $billions every year.

No, the US loans Israel about $2B a year that they can only use to buy weapons made by US companies. Israel has a perfect track record of repayment, so there is and has been no risk or loss to us.

No other country has a perfect track record of payments. Only Israel.

What about Israeli health care?

Paid for by Israeli citizens using payroll taxes.

Google AI:

Yes, Israeli healthcare is primarily financed by a progressive, income-based health tax deducted directly from salaries, pensions, or unemployment benefits, combined with state budget funding

Israel would last longer, but not forever. That is why we need to keep backing Israel.
