it absolutely is not a GDP argument. GDP is a measurement of how much shit you made and "services" provided in a current year, its not how much liquid cash you have on hand. you're literally conflating the two in your post.
my argument is that 15% of israel's total defense budget coming from US aid is not an insignificant chunk whereas the IDF posters here believe this to be some kind of "gdp" and "economy" thing. yes, you are right that the israelis can very well -and should- absorb this now because this is not 1970s israel
