Summary: the real money starts in 1974, after the wars in which the current borders were established. The US gave minor economic assistance in the early years which quickly dropped off to nothing. Military loans were minor until 1971 and certainly meaningless in the 1967 war where that land was taken.

Another page at the site notes that "Between 1946 and 1971, the U.S. provided Israel with an average of about $60 million a year, a total of $1.5 billion. By comparison, the Arab states received nearly three times as much aid, $4.4 billion, or $170 million per year."
