than the wars that the israeli military is fighting or america's by extension, and it is not just figurative thing to say, israel would not have survived in the past seven decades without american support. the united states has showered israel with billions in financial aid, military aid and other forms of support throughout its years of existence. israel would have been unable to survive without the us support throughout its short existence. in order to build these so... old iron dome weapon system alone, america offered a whopping $1.6 billion from 2011 to 2021. last year, the united states congress passed another $1 billion in funding for the apparently israeli system.

in the ongoing war on gaza, the israeli regime has been gobbling up american money and weapons. since the start of the war, the pentagon has quietly ramped up military aid to israel, from more missiles for iron dome to laser guided missiles for apache helicopters, also us made to bunkerbuster munitions to military vehicles, according to an internal defense. department list, let's
