The End of the Israel Exception | Foreign Affairs
1 week ago - Propelled in part by a formidable pro-Israel political lobby in the United States, it has persisted without substantial modification. Washington still exhibits extreme deference not only to Israeli leaders’ judgment but also to their domestic political needs. It provides, without conditions, massive amounts of military aid: a 2016 memorandum of understanding promised $3.8 billion per year, a daily transfer of over $10 million in American taxpayers’ money, and Congress regularly adds more.

April 19, 2024 -
The United States was the first country to recognize the provisional government of the state of Israel upon its founding in 1948, and it has for many decades been a strong and steady supporter of the Jewish state. Israel has received hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid in the post–World War II era, a level of support that reflects many factors, including a U.S. commitment to Israel’s security and the countries’ shared foreign policy interests in a volatile and strategically important part of the world.
The two countries do not have a mutual defense pact, as the United States has with allies such as Japan and fellow members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). However, Israel is among a short list of “major non-NATO allies” and has privileged access to the most advanced U.S. military platforms and technologies.

How much of this aid is actually part of the camp David accords that keeps Israel and Egypt from fighting and how much is outside that treaty?

So... the missing context in any of the "aid" breakdowns is "defense spending." Military aid, and most foreign policy spending gets booked as "aid" for the purpose of journalism/charts/whatnot. But, most of the total expenditure for these defense/foreign policies is booked under "defense." Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iraq,South Korea, UK, Germany, France, etc.... These are/were defense-led operations with civil and military aid playing second fiddle. Israel never had any direct US presence, has no US bases and (almost) no "defense" costs to the US. Saudi Arabia has many US bases, including major airbases. It doesn't get aid, because they're rich. So, all expenditure is booked under "defense," and isn't broken down by country. Germany too.

The American investment in Israel was, and still is, extremely good for them - it's just that "them" is the ruling class of the US, and not most of its people. The US supports Israel exactly because it furthers its imperialist goals in the region and in general (and in addition makes a nice buck for its arms manufacturers).
