No but its handy for them, being funded.
You seem to be under the impression Israel is completely funded by America, it's not.
Israel's current defence budget is about 9% of GDP, when I was there in the 70's it was over 30% of GDP.
This is a country roughly the size of Wales boyo. They've been on a war footing for more years than I can remember and defending themselves from invaders for even longer.
