your "source" was a quotemaster website which just has unsourced quotes collected. There is no issue of credibility because the site makes no claim to authenticity and substantiation.
In terms of what I believe and what I consider proper evidence, I certainly don't accept unsourced quotes blindly and repost them as if they are proven fact. At least I don't think I do -- if you see me doing so, please ask me for a source.
I stopped looking for more sources after I found over 40 additional web sites that cited the the same quote.
One reason that I find the "...squeeze all we can..." quote credible is because it is consistent with the pervasive views of Israeli society that Americans are gullible suckers who are always good for unlimited $ Billions and the latest weaponry.
"WHAT DO ISRAELIS THINK ABOUT AMERICANS? START WITH DISDAIN"
What Do Israelis Think About Americans? Start With Disdain.
EXCERPT " Though Israel is a famously fractious society, Israelis tend to agree on one thing: Their strongest supporters are an inherently dupable people." CONTINUED
“Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away.”

I've made no effort to deny that the "...dry up and blow away." quote was one that was overheard by a CIA officer while Netanyahu was meeting with Jonathan Pollard who, as you know betrayed the US for Israel.
Another revealing quote by Netanyahu that was caught on tape exemplifies the attitudes of AIPAC and Israel's politicians who prey on American taxpayers:
"I know what America is," Netanyahu told a group of terror victims, apparently not knowing his words were being recorded. "America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in their way." (1)
Yet another quote that is generally accepted as authentic explained how Israel benefited from America's 9/11 attack:
- We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq. [... The events] swung American public opinion in our favor.
There is still another unflattering quote allegedly made by Netanyahu:
"America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left" (Netanyahu 1990). (3)
This quote is also attributed to Netanyahu but I don't believe that it is credible even though it reflects the same parasitic mentality as the "...squeeze all we can..." quote.
In other words, it is not a quote that I would cite in one of my comments because I'm not convinced that it's authentic without further research.
Finally, I realize that both sides use propaganda and fake quotes but I've seen the "...squeeze all we can..." quote quoted frequently and in credible sources enough to feel comfortable citing it.
