What an exercise in utter futility.

US not only fully funds Israeli military and security forces, but also issues sovereign loan guarantees Israeli central bank, especially during Israeli wars. for example, the 2003–2016 for $9 billion, and additional $3.8 billion since.

Israeli Shekels would be worthless without American tax payer guarantee.
