There would be no public education nor healthcare in Israel without US money.

Israel has had public education and public healthcare forever, even going back when US had no colored and jews signs in their public spaces.

> Israel has had public education and public healthcare forever…

This also applies to US aid.

Nope, Israel had it much earlier.

Israel, the nation state, came into being in 1948, with the explicit financial and military aid of the United States to do so. It has had American support since within hours of its founding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Israel#State_of_...

"At the end of 1948, 53% of Israel's Jewish population was insured, about 80% of them by Clalit, with a few small health funds insuring the remainder. In the following years, Israel's healthcare system was expanded, and within a decade, about 90% were insured."

Universal healthcare became a thing in 1995, it seems.

		To be fair here, what people often overlook by using Israel's current government as a reference point is that during the Kibbutz era Israel was decidedly left-wing. So I wouldn't necessarily attribute the presence of 90% or later 100% health care to US money.

Ah yes...the criticizing Israel is antisemitic argument...

You're doing it again, conflating antisemitism and criticism of Israel, I flagged your comments.

Boiling legitimate criticism of the USA funding of Israel to “of course the Jews stole it” is intellectually dishonest.

It would have been a valid criticism if it mentioned US aid to Ukraine (which is far larger), or aid to Egypt or the aid by maintaining military bases in South Korea, Japan, Europe. But nothing of that was mentioned, only the Jewish state. Hence it is a good ol' antisemitism.
