The thing is, it's not all free. A lot of that foriegn aid given to Israel is in the form of loans that in theory need to be paid back. I say in theory, as I doubt the US is going to tell Israel to pay up if they decide they'd rather spend that money on something else. Most of the actual free weapons are small arms, which Israel is more than able to manufacture themselves. Of course France and Russia won't be as leniant when it comes time to pay their bills, but Russian aircraft for example tend to be a few million less than US aircraft in the same class.
