At a time when the American public is expressing unprecedented levels of distrust in the Israeli government, Congress just proposed tying the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before.

Buried in the House's version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released on Tuesday, is section 224, entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.” The provision would arguably do more to intertwine the U.S. military with the Israeli military than the more than $200 billion (inflation adjusted) in military assistance Israel has received from the U.S. since its founding in 1948.

Section 224 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. The U.S. and Israel already work together heavily on missile defense, but this provision would greatly expand coordination to seemingly every area of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion.” In other words, the U.S. military’s data could soon be the Israeli military’s data.

If fully enacted, this proposal would provide a higher level of military-industrial integration than the U.S. has with any other country in the world. To be sure, the U.S. has worked closely with its NATO partners on co-production and shared supply chains, most notably via the Defence Production Action Plan. And, as the number one arms dealer in the world, the U.S. provides weapons to militaries across the globe. But that is mostly a one-way street, with the U.S. providing weapons to foreign buyers who only occasionally make parts for those weapons themselves, as in the case of the F-35’s global supply chain.

Section 224 would be a different beast entirely. It would fuse the U.S. and Israeli defense sectors in multiple areas vital to the battlefields of the future, like autonomous systems and cyber. It would also bring extraordinary Israeli influence to the U.S. beyond what it already has through the Israel lobby and its robust network of social media influencers. It would give the Israeli government the opportunity to greatly expand one of the most powerful levers of influence in U.S. politics: jobs in the U.S. By expanding or starting new co-production facilities like it already has in Mississippi and Arkansas, the Israeli government could boast of providing jobs on U.S. soil, thereby securing allies among members of Congress who represent the districts where those jobs lie.

The result could well be a U.S. political system even more susceptible to the whims of an Israeli government that seemingly has no qualms about drawing the U.S. into military conflicts in the Middle East.

This unprecedented level of U.S.-Israeli military integration stands in stark contrast to the traditional aid model of defense cooperation, in which Israel already stood out as the top recipient of U.S. military assistance. As laid out in a recent Quincy Institute brief, authored by Steven Simon, this shift from an aid model to a military integration model has troubling implications, namely:

The shift will strip away the political and diplomatic oversight mechanisms that make the relationship publicly accountable, moving it from a visible annual aid vote into the opaque machinery of defense acquisition, where oversight is limited and political accountability is minimal. The result would be a defense relationship that is simultaneously deeper and less transparent.

This all comes at a time when the Israeli military has repeatedly used U.S. weapons in strikes that have violated international humanitarian laws in Gaza, and as Israel has repeatedly violated

ceasefires (as has the U.S. itself) in the Trump administration’s unnecessary war with Iran.

The enormous gulf between what most Americans want and what the president is doing when it comes to Israel and what Congress is proposing here should not be ignored. Just 30% of respondents to a New York Times/Sienna poll from mid-May believe Trump made “the right decision” to go to war with Iran, with 64% saying it was wrong. An Institute for Global Affairs poll released earlier this week dove even deeper into the American psyche when it comes to arming Israel, finding that “Just 16 percent say the United States should keep supplying Israel with weapons without new restrictions. Thirty-eight percent want to stop supplying weapons entirely, and another 24 percent want weapons conditioned on how they’re used.”

Yet, mainstream leadership in both parties remains largely pro-Israel and continues to shape the base legislative text before amendments and broader congressional debate open it to the full body, as is the case with this NDAA provision.

Though slowly, tides within both parties are shifting as more and more members speak out against the growing divide between Israel’s actions and America’s interests. For example, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) wrote in The New York Times on Tuesday that, “The Democratic Party has provided reflexive and unconditional support to Israeli governments, even as their actions have increasingly undermined American interests and values.” On the Republican side of the aisle, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) have openly decried the Israel lobby’s corrosive influence — a stance that may have, at least partially, cost both of them their seats in Congress.

What can other members of Congress who are concerned about Israel’s destabilizing actions do right now? Stop the Israeli-U.S. military-industrial merger in its tracks.

Lawmakers should reject Section 224 from the NDAA to avoid deep integration with Israel's military at a time when a growing number of Americans oppose Israel's actions in the region.”

Canadian and US militaries are integrated through NORAD
Does that mean the US is now fully owned by Canada?

>>1517261
NORAD is so both countries can coordinate their military airspace instead of running into each other. It has nothing to do with with Israel being able to send it soldiers over here and knock heads together and we go over there and solve all their genocide problems.

Which is exactly what's going to happen

>>1517262
The text of this article seems to be that Israel and the US are coordinating their soldiers instead of running into each other, like the relationship between the US and Canada for NORAD

Fun fact: the USAF trained Saudi troops at Lackland starting in the mid-70s.

Israel and the US are both owned by the Saudis.

the hell are you going on about? you're an american whether you want to or not now pay your taxes due

I am of the opinion that Israel needs to be turned into a radioactive hellscape incapable of supporting any kind of life down to the microbial level

Well if you ask me anon, they aren’t the only shills that you dislike. I personally see anyone who supports age verification under the guise of think of the children also as ESL shills.

>>1517265
>Hannibal_Directive
Well, those who support that which thinks a fictional character is an actual person are eating each other, sure. With some fava beans, and a nice Chianti
There are those who dislike a 'think of the orange child molester' shill spamming 'age verification'

Word salad schizobabble.

Those who are esl can't understand English due to an inferior education, so those reduced to that excuse prove they aren't American or they wouldn't have replied that way, sure.

>understand English
You are the only person who understands the things you do in the fashion that you do. Speak plainly or kill yourself.

>Speak plainly
Only those who are esl would need others to "speak plainly" due to their inferior education. Those who are American fully understand what others say, because they are superior.

>>1517440
Age verification shills are also disliked by me, too anon. But what’s worse is that they are on both sides. Anyone who condones age verification is also an ESL shill by default.

Hilarious how the shills get outed instantly in the Israel threads

Trust me, anon. I’m doing my part to spread awareness of how the corporate shills in Microslop, Google, NATO, The UN and The WEF and YouTube are screwing us over.

>screwing us over.

Those such as the 'age verification' spammer deserve to be screwed over by the vast majority of superior humans who aren't inferior subhuman pedos.

>>1517258
It's also untenable because there is no way to determine rank if you merge two armed forces together. Say you're a general in the US military and a general in the Israeli military. Who gives who orders? Neither general is ever going to agree to take orders from a foreign government. This entire thing reads like a conspiracy theory as it would either be the most retarded thing imaginable or the most brilliant subversion and destruction of US-Israeli relations ever.
