This site is not loading for me, so I can't see how they arrived at that, but it seems unlikely. Israel's military budget is about 6% of their GDP. US military aid to Israel is about 1% of Israel's GDP.
This doesn't belong on hacker news, nor is it remotely accurate.
The Israeli defense budget is $15 billion dollars, and the American aid is $2.5 billion. The article is attempting to classify the Iraq war as aid to Israel, which is absurd.
It also falsely claims that Israel receives more aid than any other country. Pakistan receives slightly more, and Afghanistan receives 4 times as much.
