Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposes a controversial "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative" to integrate the Israeli military with the US military, fusing technology, production, and intelligence-sharing across various defense tech areas including AI, quantum, and cyber. This provision would allow US military data to become Israeli military data.
The author argues this is an "America last" position, especially given the Pentagon's "critical" threat level regarding Israeli espionage on US officials. This entanglement, which has historically drained billions from the US treasury and drawn the US into Middle East conflicts, would further commit the US to Israel's regional wars, effectively making them US wars. The article criticizes Congress for defying American public opinion, particularly younger Americans, who have turned against the US-Israel relationship, suggesting AIPAC's influence. The author advocates for striking Section 224 from the NDAA and disentangling from all overseas obligations, including NATO and support for Ukraine and Taiwan, to prevent national bankruptcy.
