Call Congress: Reject U.S.-Israeli Military Integration

 

The House is expected to hold a floor vote on the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act before the end of next week.  The upcoming vote is a key opportunity to rally lawmaker opposition to a terrifying AIPAC-backed measure within the bill, the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, which aims to permanently entrench the U.S. and Israel’s military tech and surveillance apparatuses. Demand your House Rep do everything in their power to oppose the NDAA provision that would fuse the U.S. and Israel’s military tech and surveillance programs. If passed, this measure would make it much harder to end U.S. complicity in Israeli war crimes and could roll back the enormous gains we’ve made in building public support for an arms embargo. Although the exact date of the floor vote has not yet been announced, two separate amendments have already been submitted to strip the provision from the bill. The amendments need to be approved by the Rules Committee in order to be included in the floor vote. We’ve heard from insiders that immense public pressure in the next couple of days is needed to tip the scales on this issue.  Every single member of the House needs to hear from constituents like you about supporting those amendments ahead of the floor vote.  Call your Representative in the House to demand they support any amendments that would strip the deadly US-Israel military merger proposal from the NDAA. The last few months have proven that the political landscape is shifting rapidly as lawmakers in D.C. start to catch up to their constituents. In April, over 85% of Democratic Senators voted to block the sale of bombs or armed bulldozers to Israel. And this week, upsets in New York Democratic primaries by pro-Palestine candidates have generated massive speculation on radical shifts in the political calculus on U.S. support for Israel’s war crimes. This will not be our last chance to intervene and pressure our representatives on this disastrous military merger, but it is a critical moment. We need all hands on deck to build opposition among members of the House ahead of the upcoming floor vote.  Call your Congressmember to demand they oppose the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative of the FY27 NDAA.
