Are you for or against aid to Israel?

Israel isn't some third world nation.
Since 1985, the United States has provided nearly
US$3 billion in annual
grants to Israel, which has been the largest recipient of annual American aid from 1976 to 2004 and the largest cumulative recipient of aid ($146 billion, not inflation-adjusted) since
World War II;
[1][2] approximately 74 percent of these funds are spent on the purchases of American goods and services.
[3] More recently, in
fiscal year 2019, the United States provided Israel with $3.8 billion in
military aid.
[2] Israel also benefits from around $8 billion in American
loan guarantees.

While the United States has disbursed significant financial aid for Israel in the past, the primary form of American aid for Israel at present is military-oriented (see
Israel–United States military relations) rather than economic.

why are we giving them so much money for military purposes?
