Yes it sure is. Hide the aid in the unauditable US defence budget and the US gets to hide the extent to which they support Israel and Israel gets to pretend like it isn’t a literal welfare state.
Crazy how that budget is just a black hole and nobody can do anything about it. Wish the legislature had some kind of oversight ability, or at least the power to control how money is spent.
Is this related in any way to the supposed plan to merge the American and Israeli militaries?

They have the power. They don’t want the responsibility of exercising it.
the real crazy part is how congress keeps chucking increasingly larger amounts of money into said “black hole”
A “power of the purse”, if you will. That would have been a good idea.
I have emailed Elon Musk asking him if he wants to do a similar thing with our finances.
