I can't speak on the volume of informal donations, I don't know. In terms of formal aid, the US committed in 2019 to send Israel 3.8 Billion per year in military aid over the next decade. Israels GDP in 2021 was 488 billion, making American donations constitute only about 0.75% of Israeli GDP. The US also has given Israel a total of 10 billion for the iron dome system, which is separate from the normal military aid, but that figure is cumulative over more than a decade so its annual amount is quite small. At most it would raise the aid proportion of GDP to around 1% over the past decade.
I remember a conversation many years ago with a Jewish colleague that the Jewish diaspora financially supported Israel by purchasing Israeli bonds. It's understood that you don't expect a return from such purchases and anyone that does is looked down upon by the Jewish community.
It's a side hit tho. APS don't work at the ranges they're fighting at. I think he wanted to 2 tap it because you'd be crazy to risk it surviving if the charge didn't work.
Now compare the numbers of enemy fighters killed...
Looking at the footage again, I’m wondering where the hell are the Israeli screening infantry that should be accompanying tanks.
Strikes me that the modern IDF is casualty averse and are far from a Bronze Age warrior race (in fact their own holy books record their own enslavement), and yet they are high IQ enough to bait chechens who are the closest thing to a warrior race in the modern era.
coming from the WSJ so take with grain of salt

No one should be supporting genocide or the killing of civilians.
But let’s not forget that Native American themselves fought each other, tried to take each others’ land, and committed genocide against other tribes for centuries, until themselves were conquered by the Europeans.
They fought and they lost. So not the best example to compare them to the Palestinians
Western colonial powers have basically wiped out a whole continent. You want to compare with Native Americans' infighting with a complete genocide of a whole continent. Don't try to be a revisionist.
