The absurdity of the foreign aid to Israel, in one graph
Cross-posted from my substack. Made with the owid data-editor. Data-source is the OECD. It shows how ridiculously high total foreign aid to Israel was compared to its wealth. Data collection on Israel was stopped in 2001, hence why I can't give you a 2025 one.

The rise in foreign aid to Israel (compared to low-income countries)
I recently posted a graph here showing how little Israel gives in foreign aid. The flip-side of this coin is how much it has received. Unfortunately, we have little contemporary data on this, since data-collection was stopped in 2001. However, what I can show you is how much they got near the beginning and the end of the data-collection period, and then compare that to low-income countries.
This slope graph shows foreign aid received per capita. It was cross-posted from my blog, and made with the owid data-editor. The source of the data is the OECD (dollars are adjusted for inflation).
