This week, the House is RACING to push through its must-pass National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which not only would send $1.15 TRILLION to the Pentagon, but includes a section that would HARDWIRE U.S. military support to Israel, tying the U.S. even more tightly to the Netanyahu government.
Last week, Democrats in the Senate blocked debate on the NDAA because of Trump’s war on Iran. But our work is nowhere near done. Now it’s the House’s turn, and the vote will happen THIS WEEK before the House goes on recess.
Negotiations are happening right now, and the only way to stop this is if thousands of us speak out immediately and demand that Congress stop Section 219 from becoming law.
Add your name now: Tell Congress to strip Section 219 from the NDAA before it’s too late!
Section 219 was written by lobbyists and Netanyahu himself. The 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.
This outrageous plan comes as the tide is turning in DC. Last week, a MAJORITY of House Democrats (103 in total!) voted to strip $3.3 BILLION in military funding to Israel.
The truth is that 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 tried to stop the proposed US/Israel military merger with an amendment. Then, the House Rules Committee shut it down, preventing a full vote.
Let’s be clear: not one dime of our money should go to enable Israel’s collective punishment, targeting of civilians, or expansion of illegal settlements. Congress must not entangle us deeper in endless war.
Take action now. Add your name to send a loud, unified message: No more blank checks for endless wars, no secret deals, and no more complicity in oppression. Section 219 must go.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
