The money goes the other way, too

South Carolina sends our own public dollars to Israel. The State Treasurer has put more than $155 million of state funds into Israeli government bonds since 2011, including a $30 million purchase in November 2023, weeks into the genocide on Gaza, which the Treasurer publicly framed as a show of solidarity. The full record, with sources, is on our Legislation page, and if you would like to find out how you can change this, go to our Take Action page.
