Israel Asks For A Guaranteed Share Of U.S. Weapon Purchases
The colonial expansion of Israel is openly subsidized by the U.S. with currently $3.5 billion per year. Most of that money is bound to Israel’s purchase of U.S. made weapons. The stipend is controlled by Congress and must pass the yearly budget review.
The Israeli government is trying to change the stipend into a more lucrative racket.
It has suggested to replace the yearly subsidy by a ‘deeper military cooperation’ which is code for the guaranteed U.S. purchases of Israeli made weapons and continuous profits for Israel’s weapon manufacturers. To institute the new scheme Congress will pass a law that will integrate Israel’s military-industrial complex into U.S. procurement and production lines.
Following that there will be no more yearly reviews:
Buried in the House’s version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released on Tuesday, is section 224, entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”
…
Section 224 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation.
…
It would fuse the U.S. and Israeli defense sectors in multiple areas vital to the battlefields of the future, like autonomous systems and cyber.
and:
If enacted, the provision could mark a major change in one of the world’s closest military relationships, shifting the two countries from a partnership centred largely on American military aid towards one in which their defence industries are more deeply intertwined.
Section 224 would require the US defence secretary to appoint an “executive agent”: a single official to coordinate military cooperation between the US and Israel.
That work would cover joint research and development, the shared production of weapons, and the linking of military systems and data.
In future the Pentagon will have to spend, by law, a part of its budget on purchases from Israel. Given the $1.5 trillion war budget proposed by Trump the profits from such an alliance for Israel will be a multiple of its current stipend.
Congress is currently in the process of passing the proposal.
The U.S. military is not happy about the prospect of having Israel involved its technology and data systems. A subtile hint of that can be seen in this current news item:
Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say – NBCnews
The counterintelligence threat level was raised by the Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks after growing concerns that Israeli espionage had become more aggressive than usual, sources say.
The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”
…
The DIA assessment includes a seven-page document and features a chart, according to one of the current U.S. officials. The document says the assessment of Israel is that its ability to conduct human espionage and technical collection is at a ”critical level,” according to the official.
It also identifies a series of specific incidents that heightened U.S. concerns, the official said.
Israel is known for selling U.S. secrets to other countries. When Jonathan Pollard pilfered strategic deployment plans of U.S. nuclear submarines for Israel, the Zionists sold those to the Soviet Union. U.S. F-16 fighter jet technology used to develop Israel’s Lavi fighter jet ended up in China after the program was canceled.
The Pentagon’s question to Congress, camouflaged as a leaked DIA assessment, is this: ‘Do you really want to let Israel share (and sell off) our deepest secrets?”
AIPAC will pull its strings with members of Congress to get the right answer to that question.
‘Are Americans ignorant or they just don’t care and why are so many elected representatives corrupt enough to allow themselves to commit treason in the name of a foreign State?’
You answered this yourself rather succinctly back in 2024. Did you forget your own thoughts on the matter?
‘I have for a long time, like many, put more blame on Zionism but pondering the history and the issue it is clear that many Jews, perhaps most, have played a major role in the creation and maintenance of Israel regardless of the atrocities it has always committed. If Jews do not want to be blamed for what Israel is and does then they must categorically separate from and reject the State.
Since the US Government is infiltrated and tightly controlled by Zionists, Israelis and Jews and probably all American politicians are under the thumb of Mossad, it is difficult to bring leadership for Americans, let alone responsible leadership.
And since American allies are in essence lackeys bullied and bribed to do what they are told and ZIJ has infiltrated their political systems, particularly UK, Canada, Australia etc., they are not going to take a stand.
This is why it is so important that people stand up for principles of justice, rule of law, democracy, human rights and common human decency in general but particularly for Palestine. Even the American Government has to take notice when the public takes a stand, regardless of how much power ZIJ might wield in their corridors of rule.
When our Government is in thrall to a foreign entity they are not representing us or our interests.’

The next comment stated that many Jews do in fact speak out against the Zionist entity and you liked that comment.
Your liking of that comment doesn’t necessarily negate the blunt and forceful (and I believe necessary) statement you made on the issue previously but it does weaken it.
This is your statement:
‘pondering the history and the issue it is clear that many Jews, perhaps most, have played a major role in the creation and maintenance of Israel regardless of the atrocities it has always committed. If Jews do not want to be blamed for what Israel is and does then they must categorically separate from and reject the State’
The operative word here is ‘categorically’.

“Hebrew sources:
Israel has implemented the recent agreement with the Lebanese government, according to the memorandum of the agreement that was recently signed in Washington (if Israeli territory is subjected to attacks, the Israeli side has the right to carry out attacks in the suburb, and without that, it does not have the right to attack Beirut)”
[Note ‘ceasefire agreement’ afaik not presented to public officially]
– Talk of ten GBU dropped on Beirut
– Mehrdad Khalili
“In an initial reading of the aggression on the southern suburb, the enemy talks about targeting an empty headquarters, and the attack occurred because of the symbolism of the place and not for a specific goal.
If this is true, then today’s attack is the same thing that the enemy wanted to carry out a week ago and retreated due to an Iranian threat. What happened can be explained as a direct challenge to Iran in conjunction with sending a message through a Pakistani intermediary and Trump’s statements after the raids in which he publicly stated that Lebanon would not be included in any agreement with Iran.
In light of the stagnation of diplomacy, Trump’s arrogance towards Tehran, the rejection of Iran’s demands at the negotiating table, and the raids on the suburbs, it seems that we are now at the closest moment to the return of war between Iran and America.
Waiting for what Tehran will announce regarding what happened today.”
– “Iranian newspaper Farhikhetkan this morning with the headline: Netanyahu’s office official in Beirut”

[Note, all the above includes some speculation for now as journalists report first reactions and offer perspective. The various journalists are clear about this in their manner of writing. ]
