An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Section 219 = U.S.-Israel Military Merger: Let Congress Vote

300 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I demand that the House Rules Committee make the amendment to strike Section 219, formerly Section 224, in order for a vote on the House floor. Do not bury this amendment. Do not block a vote. Do not shield members of Congress from accountability. Section 219 would create the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, deepening U.S.-Israel military-industrial integration through joint weapons research, Israeli-origin technology integration into U.S. military systems, procurement pathways, co-production, licensing agreements, data-sharing, AI, cyber, autonomous systems, missile defense, counter-drone systems, and defense manufacturing partnerships. This is unacceptable. Congress should not be entering an integrated military partnership with any country. It is especially outrageous to do so with Israel, a state responsible for apartheid, illegal occupation, forced displacement, siege, war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and catastrophic regional destabilization. The public deserves a vote. Every House member must be forced to go on record. The House Rules Committee must make the strike amendment in order. Every House Representative must vote YES to remove Section 219. Every Senator must submit, co-sponsor, and vote YES on an amendment to remove the Senate companion language, Section 1217. If this language remains in the NDAA, every member of Congress must vote NO. No joint weapons development. No co-production. No data-sharing. No U.S.-Israel military-industrial merger. No reward for genocide. Make the amendment in order. Vote YES to strike it. Reject any NDAA that keeps it.
