Section 224?
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.
Is this a good idea?
I know the US is at the mercy of Israeli ash but to give them this much sway over our military is unheard of and unprecedented.
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.

Israel has way too much power over Congress and the WH…it is time to break this stranglehold and put Israel in its place…..as the problem that keeps the Middle East in flames and allows it to get away with genocide and massive destruction in the name of security.
These twats are expanding their little piece of sand into a mini empire which I am sure we can find in one of their books of myths.

The full control of America by Israel is no longer hidden behind closed doors, it is now blatantly out in the open. I tried to get a new name for the USA by using ‘anagram solver’. I typed in ‘americaisrael’ and it came back with ‘Amerila serica’. That doesn’t trip off the tongue, so maybe just replace the 50 stars on the flag with one Star of David. (The same is going to apply to the UK soon)
Best wishes, Pete.
Please do not give them any ideas….for they may just want that…..chuq
It is an extremely bad idea! Zionist Israel, with the Machiavellian Netanyahu at the helm, will not stop its expansionist moves at Gaza and Lebanon. Jordan and Syria are next, and who knows what else after that. With the U.S. military at their beck-and-call, they can do just about whatever they want.
To add insult to injury, Israeli propagandists have been busy trying to equate criticism of Netanyahu’s regime with anti-Semitism. I’ve been an outspoken opponent of anti-Semitism all my life. My father fought against it during WWII. But Bibi’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza is no less genocide than Hitler’s extermination of six million Jews!
Robert I agree….Israel is doing the same thing the Nazis did in the camps….and with the okay of the US…how pathetic and disgusting both countries are these days. chuq
