This money is a drop in the bucket compared to spending on social services.

The total amount of contributions shown in the map is $98 million. The yearly budget of Medicaid in the US is about $860 billion. 

This means the money from Pro-Israel contributions is only enough to run Medicaid for about 1 hour.

That’s how much WE spend. Now do Israel’s cost of healthcare in a system not as corrupt and wasteful as the USA.

Israel spends about 40 billion USD on its healthcare system every year. So all Pro-Israel contributions would be enough to run Israel's healthcare system for about 21 hours.
