USA only started selling weapons to Israel in the 1960’s, and initially only defensive weapons.

Leaving aside the fact that the 1960s are 60 years ago, the patriot system is there to shoot down missiles, drones and maybe approaching fighter jets. It is a "defensive weapon".

Yes, I replied to someone who implied that the USA has been giving Israel military aid since 1944.

I don't understand what are you trying to say with the rest of your reply.
I already wrote that Israel bought it from the USA.
