Money doesn’t have labels on it. If they don’t need to spend their own money on military they can spend it on other things. So you could argue the US is at least indirectly funding these things.
The USA pays Israel for intelligence and intelligence work. There isn't money just being handed over.
~~Yeah, and they might spend the US money on exactly that, but that means they can spend their own money on something else, like general welfare, which they apparently do. So they can use US money to kill children in Gaza and spend their own money on healthcare 🤷♂️~~
Actually reread your message and see your point. Sure it’s not free money with no cost of Israel but would Israel be able to defend itself without those funds? It still a matter of money coming in and money being spent on welfare.
The irony is still that Israel, currently occupying Palestine, and in constant military conflict, gets money from the US while still maintaining a functioning welfare system.
I am of the opinion that Israel is in a constant state of conflict precisely because it benefits America’s defense contractors and international banks involved in these contracts. The USA might have actually pushed for peace had they not been so profitable for them if war continues.
