Gee - what a coincidence.
The day after Netanyahu spoke to Congress, Israel is now asking for $300 million in additional U.S. funding for missile defense systems,
above the $155 million already requested in military aid for Israel ... requested from Congress.
... (that) helps push total aid to Israel to well over $3 billion per year*.
... with the current U.S. defense budget crunch, it's likely something would have to be cut in the U.S.'s Pentagon budget to pay for the Israeli request.
* $3 billion per year out of our wallets

I completely agree with your concept and would suggest going further, with sanctions, but cutting off aid would be a huge start.

I assume that request will be denied, at least by Democrats.
Maybe if Israelis toss out this moron, then they can come back and try again??

He's a chain smoker and an alcoholic.
