I'm looking for a credit card that will help me get points to fly elal. Any ideas? I live in the US.

Fly elal coach on regular flights? You are likely better off using 2% cashback cards (or more if you want to go category shopping) and earmarking the money for flights. I believe you'll come out ahead. My understanding is that miles' real value comes into play for first/business class or last minute tickets. For regular coach, you're probably getting less than 2 cents per mile value.

You can work on Amex points and fly through Flying Blue I think. Idk how you would get points for el al.

ELAL is bookable through Qantas (and for a few more months through Alaska Airlines), credit cards that transfer to Qantas will allow you to book with points (if you find availability). As mentioned, if flying economy you are probably better off with a card that gives you 2% back (some use points, that can be used on their own travel portal). With ELAL there's also a pro play with purchasing a Business Class ticket through AMEX (if you have an AMEX business platinum card) and then converting that ticket to an ELAL voucher.
