Trying to stay on topic ... the US also gives lots of aid to Egypt, but Egypt doesn't seem to have such good tech. Why?

US middle east policy has long called for maintaining a qualitative edge for Israel so that their neighbors (including Egypt) won't be tempted to attack again. Plus Israel has 10x GDP per capita, and a more educated workforce better able to maintain complex tech.
