US foreign aid received per capita is about $300 - against a GDP per capita of about $70,000.

(On the US side the aid sent is $10 per capita per year).

Is that including all the money the US sends them for the war or is it only the money tagged as foreign aid?
If you have other figures, please quote them with sources rather than make vague implications that the amounts are significantly larger in a some mysterious way.

From what I found there was a one-off increase in 2024 due to the war, and a special payment in 2022 for the Iron Dome.

Averaging over the past 5 years, and including those special payments, it’s still $574 per Israeli per year. (And about $17 per American).

Compared to respective GDPs per capita of $70k and $95k.
