You are wrong that most aid to Israel is in the form of loans. According to the United States Agency for International Development, total official U.S. economic and military aid for the period 1962-99 was $73,894,400,000 of which only $13,068,300,000 (17.7%) were loans and $60,926,200,000 were grants.
From 1995 to 1999, all aid to Israel was categorized as grant aid. There were no loans in the $11,940,000,000 sent as foreign aid during that period.
These are the official numbers. As was pointed out to me a few months ago, the actual numbers are probably higher due to classification as other items. Please pardon my intrusion, but I believe that it is important to check the facts before making statements like yours. Failing to do so undermines your position.
