So, if the US uses taxpayer subsidy to buy Israeli bullets, from a company whose stock price in Tel Aviv is based on US loan/credit to Israel (otherwise the market would crash), is that "aid" to Israel?

As this seems to be an important link in your argument, are you saying that the bullet purchase is the "aid to Israel"? Because the loan guarantees are not considered financial aid. The bullet purchase, you imply. is inappropriate, or a misuse of taxpayers money. Is that what you are aiming at? The bullets are bought at an above market price in order to boost the stock market value of the company? If Israel is able to buy on credit (and with interest added to the loan, of course) how does that increase the value of a military industry? There are many other arms purchasers, by the way. New contracts have been made with France, India and Turkey, among others.
