by R. Cort Kirkwood, The New American:
Israel-first Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee have voted to integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries, a move that will enable the Israelis to steal American military secrets and sell them to China, Russia, and other hostile nations.
In approving the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, committee Republicans shot down an amendment from Democratic Representative Ro Khanna of California that would have stripped Section 224, which will give Israel access to secret U.S. military, intelligence, and technology information.
Now that the bill has passed committee, however, outgoing GOP Representative Thomas Massie — the America-first Kentuckian whom President Donald Trump stabbed in the back — will offer an amendment on the floor of the House to strip the dangerous measure.

Section 224
As The New American reported yesterday, the measure will “expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation” by a number of means, including:
• identifying jointly developed or Israeli-origin technologies with operational utility for potential integration into United States systems and programs … ;
• ensuring collaborative research initiatives involving government, private sector, and academic institutions in the United States and Israel, … in a manner that protects sensitive technology and information and the national security interests of the United States and Israel; …
• establishing frameworks for joint ventures, licensing agreements, and United States-based co-production or manufacturing partnerships with Israeli industry. …
The two militaries will cooperate on “missile and air defense technologies” as well as cyber-defense, electronic warfare, and artificial intelligence.
The measure “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,” Ben Freeman explained for Responsible Statecraft:
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.
Beyond that, he continued, it would give the Israel Lobby even more power than it has now. That power already includes marshaling the tens of millions of dollars that bought Massie’s seat in the House for a largely unknown Israel-firster.
Section 224 will “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,” Freeman continued:
