2027 NDAA Bill Represents Ultimate American Patriotism Test.
True American patriots will join with the 12 Senators and exercise/express vehement opposition.

[Editor’s note: Here is my comment:
The letter calls for the removal of Section 219 from the (2027 NDAA) House bill and Section 1217 from the Senate 2027 (NDAA) bill, which both:
“mandate the creation of a ‘United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative’ to expand and accelerate the U.S.-Israel defense relationship, including technology sharing, co-production of weapons systems, and bilateral research and development.”
They said that the provisions would “threaten U.S. national security interests by handing Israel leverage over American weapons systems and military technology.”
The letter also calls for the removal of Section 618 of the Senate’s Intelligence Authorization Act, which would mandate increased intelligence sharing with Israel.
In addition to making the ridiculous, completely-false promise of $5,000 checks going out to approximately 258 million adults aged 18 and older in the United States were Republicans to maintain majorities in the House of representatives and Senate ($1,290,000,000,000 – $1.29 Trillion), the clearly desperate-for-votes Donald Trump later promised to end the $4 Billion/year subsidy/taxpayer handout to Israel.
Mr. Trump has failed to mention section 219 of the House 2027 NDAA bill, and failed to mention sections 618 and 1217 of the Senate 2027 NDAA bill, – much less come out publicly in strong opposition to the effective surrender of America’s cherished 250-year sovereignty – in what can only be perceived and described as intentionally deceiving/lying to the American people by omission.
True American patriots will join with the 12 Senators and exercise/express vehement opposition.
Please share this information far and wide. Please feel free to share your thoughts and/or responses in the comments. Thank you very much. Peace.]

US Senators Opposing Israeli Military Integration Provision
November 12, 2026
Twelve senators are asking congressional leaders to strip the provision from their draft military authorization budgets, Dave DeCamp reports. The two chambers have yet to negotiate the final bill.

A group of 12 senators has written to congressional leadership urging the removal of provisions from the House and Senate versions of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would mandate increased U.S.-Israeli military and intelligence cooperation.
The idea of the provisions is to further integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and make the special relationship harder to unwind, a reaction to the increasing criticism of Israel among Americans.
Israeli Caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been pushing for the integration, which he has referred to as “my plan,” and says it will come with a phase-out of U.S. financial military aid to Israel over time, but defense analysts have warned the aid will just be buried in the Pentagon budget and less visible to the public.
While both the House and the Senate have included the integration plan in their draft NDAAs, the two chambers have yet to go to conference to negotiate the final bill, where the amendments could potentially be stripped out.
The letter, led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and signed by 10 other Democrats and one Independent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, urges congressional leaders to “exclude three provisions from the final bill that would further entrench concerning aspects of the U.S.-Israel defense and intelligence relationship at a time when the Israeli government’s actions are increasingly undermining U.S. interests and values.”

The senators said that the
“provisions would constrain the Administration’s ability to independently determine how best to protect US national security and would lock in long-term commitments despite our serious concerns with the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, the West Bank, and other parts of the region.”
The letter calls for the removal of Section 219 from the House bill and Section 1217 from the Senate one, which both
“mandate the creation of a ‘United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative’ to expand and accelerate the U.S.-Israel defense relationship, including technology sharing, co-production of weapons systems, and bilateral research and development.”
They said that the provisions would “threaten U.S. national security interests by handing Israel leverage over American weapons systems and military technology.”
The letter also calls for the removal of Section 618 of the Senate’s Intelligence Authorization Act, which would mandate increased intelligence sharing with Israel. “The provision would tie the President’s hands from limiting intelligence sharing with Israel, even when doing so may be necessary to protect US national security. That would be irresponsible and especially troubling given public reports that the Defense Intelligence Agency recently raised the counterintelligence threat from Israel to its highest level,” the letter reads.
