    $100 million seems low?

    I mean, the US sends billions per year to Israel with a cumulative total just under $300 billion in aid?

    https://www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-charts

    “Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $300 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.”

      That’s the beauty of asymmetric warfare, you can cost your enemy a lot with far fewer resources. Iran still sucks for sending this money, but until Israel changes conditions for regular Palestinians they’ll face violence with or without that money coming in.
