"In none of these conflicts has the US, or the world for that matter, aided them."

Most people would consider $100 billion in outright welfare and many, many more billions in secret military gifts, very significant aid.
Israel has been armed with advanced nation military capabilities and the Arabs with Third Word capabilities. America has provided Israel with the most sophisticated military hardware in the world and trained them how to use it at the expense of the American taxpayers. This is not to mention the illegal nuclear, chemical and biological arsenal that the treasous American "leaders' have secretly given to Israel. The Arabs have always fought with inferior and outdated military equipment and always under the dark cloud of nuclear blackmail from Israel and the intimadating American willingness to intervine if Israel stumbled.

"As Emile said, US aid to Israel amounts to $7 bills, a paltry sum"

Paltry? Let calculate.

A Stealth bomber like the one lost over Serbia costs $40,000,000.

Let's divide $7,000,000,000 by $40,000,000.

That amounts to 175 Steatlh bombers given to Israel every year!

Paltry means almost worthless. I think paltry is the wrong word.
