If we were the only ones doing that, it’d be a rather valid argument. Others are funding Israel’s enemies; they’ve been doing it ever since the beginning of the state of Israel too. (Incidentally, which segment of the “right”, the so-called “right-wing” anti-Zionist types?)
No one else is giving Egypt over a billion in foreign aid or hundreds of millions to Jordan. We are also giving Hezbollah-run Lebanon armored personnel carriers.
By the Israeli Right, I mean members of Herut, Likud, and more nationalist parties. Netanyahu called for an end to aid.

I don’t know where you get your information from, but the European Union gave Egypt $6½ billion in November of last year. EU aid to the Palestinians is in the hundreds of millions. And their aid to Israel by contrast is minuscule, although they do have free trade with Israel and (this does not pass the smell test) have offered Israel membership in the EU (this would mean Israel gives up its independence).
