Let's start from the premise that Israel is our ally. Great. We don't send our allies money.

Then there's the idea that Israel is under attack from the heathen hordes. They aren't.

Then there's the idea that Israel is an outpost for us in the Middle East. They aren't.

The nation of Israel is a welfare queen.

Israel actually isn't an ally. We actually do send our allies shit loads of money, though.

Israel is under attack from heathen hoards. it's called "Islam".

Israel is not an outpost for us in the Middle East. They're not even western.

Israel isn't a welfare queen. They actually pay us back on all the loans we give them. The aid we given is free because they keep asking for it. If we just sold them shit, or had us pay it back, it would actually be a profitable relationship. It isn't.
