Our military-industrial complex is being actively leveraged to underwrite Israel’s military campaigns, and the current National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) codifies this dangerous entanglement. We must aggressively fight the NDAA in its current form and rally behind Representative Ro Khanna, who is leading the charge to restore American sovereignty and moral accountability to our defense spending. By locking the United States into unconditional weapons pipelines and co-development schemes, the NDAA effectively hitches American manufacturing to Israel’s geopolitical agenda. This isn't just an alliance; it is a structural dependency that compromises our nation's strategic autonomy. When our domestic factories, technological innovations, and tax dollars are bound to a foreign power's military objectives, American foreign policy is held hostage. We lose the leverage to halt human rights violations or demand diplomatic solutions because our own defense infrastructure has been intertwined with Israel's military apparatus. Representative Ro Khanna is one of the few voices in Washington willing to confront this reality directly. Khanna has consistently voted against unconditional military aid and bloated defense packages that fuel regional conflict without oversight. He champions a foreign policy that prioritizes human rights, international law, and strict domestic accountability. Supporting Khanna means fighting for an NDAA that decouples American defense production from foreign operations, ensuring our resources are used for genuine national defense rather than enabling state-sponsored violence abroad. We cannot allow our defense infrastructure to be sold out. We must reject the current NDAA and back leaders like Ro Khanna to reclaim control over our foreign policy.
