Buried deep in next year’s MASSIVE Pentagon budget is a provision that’s getting little attention: Section 224, which would tie the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before.
If this passes, it won’t just mean sending more taxpayer dollars to Israel – it would mean co-producing weapons, turning the U.S. military’s data into the Israeli military’s data too, and greenlighting UNPRECEDENTED Israeli influence on the U.S. – all with less oversight than ever before.
Our Revolution ally Rep. Ro Khanna has vowed to offer an amendment TOMORROW to strip this from the bill – giving us just 24 hours to OVERWHELM Congress with opposition to this toxic merger.
Tell Congress now: Strip Section 224 from the Pentagon Budget – NO to an unchecked US-Israel weapons merger!
Polling shows public distrust of the Israeli government has skyrocketed. Together, we watched in horror as violence across Gaza killed tens of thousands of men, women, and children. We’ve witnessed countless Israeli violations of international law – all made possible by ongoing, unconditional U.S. support.
Section 224 would only worsen this. It would put us on the hook for even more US-made bombs, more joint surveillance operations, and more weapons stampeding through the export pipeline – all without public oversight or accountability.
Congressional leaders are banking on the fact they can sneak this through with little attention. They want to keep these deals in the dark, far from public scrutiny.
That’s why, TOMORROW, Rep. Ro Khanna will offer an amendment in the Armed Services Committee to strip Section 224 from the bill. If the section survives committee, Rep. Thomas Massie has promised to fight it on the floor.
If we don’t make enough noise NOW, this could become law without a public fight. Our Revolution was built to shine a spotlight on exactly this kind of backroom dealmaking. Your voice can help expose and stop this before it’s too late.
Add your name RIGHT NOW to tell Congress: No new US-Israel military-industrial merger! Overwhelm them with public opposition before tomorrow’s vote.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
