WTF- national defense authorization act section 224 !!!

Roe Kahana was the only person I heard warning about this. Every Democratic representative should have been screaming about this, but thanks to AIPAC, a number of them were quite as mice, since they accept funding from aipac. When you educate yourself as to what section 224 of the national defense authorization act does you will be outraged. That someone , who the international criminal court at The Hague has declared a war criminal , was able to have our legislators insert this no oversight boondoggle into our national defense authorization act is beyond disgusting.

Perhaps at another point in time this would be worthy of honest debate. To insert this now is just disgusting. WTF WTF WTF.
Educate yourself as to what section 224 of the national defense authorization act allows. It passed on a voice vote.

Section 224 of the House Armed Services Committee’s draft of the 2027 NDAA creates a statutory framework for U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation. It directs the Secretary of Defense to appoint an executive agent responsible for coordinating joint research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation between the two countries. The initiative covers emerging and sensitive domains such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous systems, cyber, biotechnology, counter-drone systems, missile and air defense, and directed energy (A New Policy; Factually)

if you can put yourself as a gate and gatekeeper between two enemies, you put yourself in a position of a whole lot of power.
Israel has a complicated relationship with Russia but so do we. They have brilliant strategic technical people.
Might as well give them a backdoor to every secure everything that we do in the US, they will hold a key. All kinds of keys.
