“By “we” I mean as Americans as in giving Israel foreign aid ever since it’s creation as a state.
And what, as an American, do we get for our effort?”

Totally on subject, and totally accurate. Riiight.

US gets intelligence, technological advances, and a politically stable partner in the ME. And not for “trillions,” either. Not even half or a quarter of a trillion. And the US came rather late to giving Israel any aid at all. Endless wars? You mean like that “endless war” in June of 1967, which we won decisively with very little help from the US. Our chief ally at the time was France! The US was providing spare parts to Jordan, one of our assailants. When we kicked the a@@es of Jordan, Egypt and Syria at once with an efficiency and speed that would have done Bruce Lee proud, LBJ figured we were bankable and useful and started cozying up and offering aid as well as collaboration on military R&D and intelligence.

You want to cut all US aid to Israel? Fine. I’m all for that, too, so we can hear less from chuckleheads like you, to say the least. But there is a way you can cut off Israel right now. Stop letting us live rent-free in your head, and stop your POTUS from micromanaging our imperative war against Hamas, Iran and Hizbollah.

You brought up Israel, bud.
And yeah, trillions is about right on the wars we fought on behalf of Israel.
On the list of “friends like this” list Israel ranks up with Europe on the wars we got dragged into because we always fight or fiance other nations interest and not our own.
(See Southern Border, Ukraine, Israel)
Go ask your best buds, France to bail you out of this and your next war after that.
America is tapped out.
