            Section 224 of the FY2027 NDAA Chairman’s Mark (H.R. 8800) establishes the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative to integrate U.S. and Israeli military-industrial bases. The legislation directs the appointment of an executive agent to oversee joint research, network fusion, and co-production of advanced technologies including AI, drones, and directed energy.

            Basically they could say we are doing military to military training with them and have our Generals answer to their Generals. Then move that into humanitarian deployments then combat.

            I doubt they do humanitarian deployments as much anymore. We went to Venezuela to kidnap their president but didn’t send any aid for the recent earthquakes.

              it’s too little too late and there were venezuelans killed who had just arrived after being deported, those deaths are on Trump.

              but there is a us component to aid the situation, lackluster and performative probably.

              I also wonder how much of their infrastructure was fucked up by the US illegal kidnapping that is limiting their ability to recover :|

              I don’t believe that it actually entails any hierarchy beyond some new positions which amount to coordinators. It’s basically a free pass to allow millitary dollars to be spent through Israel though, except without contracts like someone like Blackwater would need and allows collaboration on all levels at the discretion of military leaders, which would naturally just be a compromised pedophile Trump, who acts as a unitary executive.

        It’s not. It’s just a weirdo internet conspiracy theory. It used to be about the UN taking over the US military and somehow involved black helicopters. Now it’s about Israel taking over the military because antisemitic conspiracy theories are super hot right now.

          It’s literally part of the House’s NDAA proposal. It allows millitary personnel and leadership to direct millitary funds directly to collaboration on all levels of millitary and intelligence with Israel, effectively bypassing the defense spending reserved by congress for them and leaving it in the hands of a compromised cabinet. Not conspiracy at all, and in fact draws up a better question. When are you going to give up on the “anti-israel is anti-jew” bullshit?

            There’s also some parts on the UN charter that the black helicopter conspiracy theorists would take out of context to promote their nonsense that the UN was going to take over the US military and create a one world government or whatever.

            History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. Or maybe it’s just conspiracy theorists aren’t all that original?

            When are you going to give up on the “anti-israel is anti-jew” bullshit?

            When are you going to stop promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories?

            There’s an article posted in the Canada channel that’s now saying “come to think of it we should hate Canadian jews as much as we hate Israelis”. This is the nature of a hate group, the target of the hatred just keeps expanding. So now we’re supposed to hate Israeli Jews AND Canadian Jews? So… the pattern is that we’re being told to just hate Jews everywhere. The target of “anti-zionist” hate is now Jews everywhere. So yeah, that’s just plain old antisemitism.

              Didn’t really address the argument. It’s not out of context and Google is free.

              Your other argument is that it’s a slippery slope between not supporting a genociding ethnostate and not liking minorities in your own nation? Maybe when you’re an ethnonationalist. Do you think Lemmy is majority ethnonationalist? Are you one? Ironically it’s almost explicitly ethnonationalists that do support Israel because they can see the narrative of a, “successful ethnostate” as a justification for having their own, usually white Christian, version.

              I have no idea where you’re seeing rampant antisemitism from the left, I highly highly suspect it’s actually from the right and you’re being bamboozled. If anything we often ignore the fact that there’s majority support for Israel amongst Jews because we understand there’s also a lot of jews standing strong against the genocide and we don’t want to antisemetically lump them all in the way people who talk like you often do, where you’re cagey about insulting a nation state to spare the feelings of Jewish supremacists or god forbid Jews who just like the place (I wonder why). I can freely say “fuck jewish supremacists” knowing anyone who would read between the lines to more than supremacists is not arguing in good faith anyways. Being a liberal identity politics obsessive person sounds EXHAUSTING dude.

    No, but Gaza and the West Bank sure do. We should switch the entire fund to rebuilding them and taking back their borders. They can choose whether to keep the trashy bullshit built on their land.
