Right now, a dangerous new proposal is moving through Congress that threatens to lock the U.S.-Israel military alliance into permanence for decades to come. On Wednesday, June 10, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) is expected to review and vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a $1.5 trillion war budget that would dramatically expand militarization, surveillance, and corporate profiteering.  Just last week, the House Armed Services Committee passed its own version of the FY27 NDAA, including a measure called the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative (Section 224). This section outlines a proposal that would effectively merge the U.S. and Israeli military and intelligence apparatuses through a long-term partnership built around data sharing, surveillance systems, AI, cybersecurity, and weapons co-production. Although the Senate draft of the NDAA has not yet been released, it’s very possible it will contain a measure similar to Section 224.  The prospect of the final Senate NDAA bill containing a proposal like Section 224 is so dangerous for our movements that we need all hands on deck right now to ensure our leaders take action to stop it. Say NO!! Our tax dollars belong to the American people!!
