This bill would fuse the U.S. and Israel into one unified war machine

By on • ( Leave a comment )
 

Israel has unleashed a genocidal war machine on Gaza and Lebanon, killing nearly 80,000 and displacing millions using bombs, guns, planes, and bullets paid for by U.S. taxpayers — and the American people are fed up.1,2

But Congress is now pushing a measure that would integrate large segments of the U.S. and Israeli militaries and “all but fuse the two countries’ armed forces together.”3

A key committee is expected to vote on an amendment to strip this provision from the bill, and we’re flooding Capitol Hill with phone calls and petition signatures.

Will you make a donation to help stop this dangerous effort to fuse the Israeli and U.S. militaries, and push for other key reforms?

The proposed FY27 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would give Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon a record-shattering $1.15 trillion, and Section 224 of the bill orders the Defense Department to synchronize “bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation” with Israel.4

This would effectively fuse the U.S. and Israel militaries into one giant military-industrial complex.

Meanwhile, Palestinians continue to starve to death in Gaza due to an ongoing Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid, Israel is bombing rescue workers and paramedics in Lebanon, and Israel’s defense minister has openly bragged that “the fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza.”5,6,7

The American people strongly oppose using our tax dollars to send any more arms to Israel. But this bill would intertwine the U.S. and Israeli militaries like never before, integrating data, AI technology, cyber war capacities, and more.

Section 224 would turbocharge U.S. support for Netanyahu and absolutely must be stopped. We’ve already mobilized tens of thousands of people to block U.S. military aid to Israel, and we’re counting on your support to ramp up our campaign.

Please make a donation to help stop this dangerous effort to fuse the Israeli and U.S. armed forces, and push for other key reforms.

Thanks for taking action,
