These images inflate US aid figures by including unrelated war costs (e.g., Iraq/Afghanistan as "aid to Israel") and applying "compound interest" to grants, which aren't loans. Actual cumulative US aid to Israel since 1948 is ~$174B (unadjusted), mostly military, per Congress. State "aid" via bonds are investments Israel repays. Total recent aid: ~$3.8B/year + $14-22B post-Oct X.
