The annual survey of U.S. arms sales, conducted by the U.S. Congressional Research Service (CRS), shows a total of 8.4 billion dollars of arms deliveries to Israel in the 1997-2004 period, with fully 7.1 billion dollars or 84.5 percent coming from a single source: the United States.
A major factor in this trend was the rise in U.S. Foreign Military Financing -- outright U.S. grants to Israel -- which now totals about 2.3 billion dollars a year paid for by U.S. tax payers.
