Israel depends very heavily on remittances and loans.
-7% unemployment rate
-24% of its population lives below the poverty line
There have been large protests in recent months against the worsening economic situation in the country. Israel is not utopia.
Also you cite the US aid to Israel remaining steady, yet you don't mention that Egypt has the same deal going.
As for Pakistan - good. I wouldn't give Pakistan a penny if it was up to me. Why should I be obligated to help my enemy?
