The horrific violence will not stop. Israel's latest assault on Lebanon has killed dozens – children, medics, entire families – despite an announced ceasefire. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted, "all of Lebanon must burn," calling for a scorched-earth campaign of collective punishment.
These aren't just words – they are a blueprint for turning U.S. weapons, intelligence, and tax dollars loose on countless more civilians. But instead of answering global calls for restraint, the U.S. is pushing ahead with a provision to HARDWIRE U.S. military support straight into every Israeli operation.
We cannot let it stand. Congress can still reverse course and remove this provision, but it's going to take ALL of us speaking out.
Can you take two minutes to urgently tell Congress: No to endless war in our name?
Buried in the 500+ pages of this year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a proposed US/Israel military merger – a provision written by lobbyists and Netanyahu himself that would all but fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries, with practically no public oversight.
The proposed US/Israel military merger would supersize weapons deals, surveillance tech, and intelligence sharing for years to come, no matter what voters might want. It would strip away even the limited Congressional checks that exist today, making the U.S.-Israel military partnership more secretive, less accountable, and even harder for the public – or even Congress itself – to monitor.
It comes as a growing majority of Americans oppose unconditional support for the Israeli government in the midst of mass violence. That's why a bipartisan group of leaders, including Bernie, Rep. Khanna, and Rep. Thomas Massie, are standing up and vowing to stop the proposed US/Israel military merger – but they can't do it alone.
Rep. Massie plans to introduce an amendment to strip the proposed US/Israel military merger from the NDAA, but it's going to take ALL of us to force Congress to listen.
Don't let the proposed US/Israel military merger slip through. Will you take two minutes to send an urgent message to your members of Congress now and tell them: NO more blank checks for war?
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
