Israel First Is Prevailing Over America First

Betrayal by Trump and the Republicans

June 8, 2026

Netanyahu and Trump have come up with a way to protect and enlarge American military support to Israel despite the large upswing in opposition to Israel by the US population–yet more proof that citizens have no influence on government policy.  The trick being used is to integrate the US and Israeli militaries.  In this way Israel’s needs become part of America’s needs.

Section 224 of the bill currently before the House Armed Services Committee integrates networks and data, thus eliminating Israel’s need to spy on America by providing Israel with access to all US military and weapon systems information.  The bill integrates research, development,  production of weapons and co-ownership of the systems and patents. The integration is moved away from sunlight to deep inside Pentagon processes, thus hiding the transformation of Zionist agendas into American agendas.

A few Democrats have tried to block Section 224, but the Israel-first Republicans are moving the bill, heavily endorsed by Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel Lobby, forward. For Trump and the Republicans, nothing is too good for Israel.

Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the committee, disingenuously claims that hiding things in the bowels of the Pentagon “will improve oversight.”

Texas Republican Ronny Jackson says that American national security is at risk unless we integrate the US military with Israel’s. He claims that first our enemies will get Israel and then they will come get us.  In other words, US national defense depends on integrating the US and Israeli militaries.  Israel Lobby political campaign contributions have again defeated American sovereignty.

California Democrat Sara Jacobs pointed out that laws currently on the books prohibit weapon transfers to countries that are committing war crimes and violating international law, which would seem to make Section 224 illegal.

Republican Thomas Massie opposes the bill–another reason the Israel Lobby removed him from office.

Most of the Democrats are too afraid of the Israel Lobby to resist the bill. How long before US Marines and Navy Seals are answering to Israeli commanders?
