Israel's Importance to USA

 Nadene Goldfoot

What?  That little bitty country, Israel,  important to the massive United States?  Some see it as a weight on the back of the USA, even blaming the war on Israel saying they forced the the USA to join it with them.  If there ever was poppycock, that idea is it.  

Actually, Israel is compared with New Jersey the most with New Jersey having 7,787 sq. miles and Israel with 10,762 sq. miles. By comparison, Oregon spans a total area of 98,381 square miles (254,800 square kilometers), ranking as the 9th largest state in the US. This includes roughly 95,996 square miles of land area, with the remaining balance made up of inland and coastal waters.

Here is a surprise as to why Israel is important.  It's playing a Round Robin act with the USA.  USA loans money to Israel to buy arms, and the catch is the arms must be bought from the USA.  This has kept them both happy; as it gives the workers in the USA jobs.  So the money is supporting Americans.  This is explained in detail in Money in Israel and How It  Is Spent

The 2024 Israel Security Assistance Support Act (H.R. 8369): Passed the House by a vote of 224-187 . This GOP-led bill did not eliminate arms; it aimed to do the exact opposite by forcing President Biden to deliver withheld heavy bomb shipments to Israel. Biden opposed the bill and threatened a veto .                                    

Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): This is a provision in the defense policy bill that would institutionalize deep military-industrial and technological integration between the U.S. and Israel (covering areas like AI, cyber, and autonomous weapons).

 The House Rules Committee blocked a bipartisan amendment by:       

                     Ro Khanna, Rohit "Ro" Khanna (born September 13, 1976) is an American politician and attorney serving as the U.S. representative from California's 17th congressional since 2017.                             

Thomas Harold Massie is an American politician and engineer. A member of the Republican Party, Massie has been the United States representative for Kentucky's 4th congressional district since 2012.          

 Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie intended to strip Section 224 from the broader legislation.  This means that Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie intended to strip Section 224 (later renumbered as Section 219) from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to stop the unprecedented military and technological integration of the U.S. and Israeli militaries. They argued that the provision compromised U.S. sovereignty and drew America too deeply into foreign conflicts.

There will be no vote on the specific amendment to strip Section 219 from the National Defense Authorization Act . The House Rules Committee blocked the bipartisan amendment (introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna), ensuring it will not receive a public debate or recorded vote .

While a vote on the amendment was prevented, the broader defense bill (H.R. 8800) containing Section 219 is advancing to the floor.

Life is not easy for Israelis.  They have had many enemies.

Israel's seven-front war—largely orchestrated by the "Axis of Resistance" led by Iran—includes the following theaters of conflict: 

• "Gaza: The primary front following the surprise attack on October 7, 2023, featuring intense urban warfare and hostage crises."  From here spewed much hatred and extreme killings.  
• "Lebanon: Fought against Hezbollah, which launched thousands of rockets and engaged in heavy cross-border skirmishes." Now Lebanon said they would allow Israel to fight, which is protecting both Israel and Lebanon. 
• "Iran: The leadership and orchestrator of the proxy network, involving direct missile and drone exchanges". The cause of all the others to fight Israel, being paid or religious reasons as most are Shi'a's.  
• Yemen: Fought against the Houthis, who targeted southern Israel and international shipping lanes with ballistic missiles and drones.
• Iraq: Fought against various Iranian-backed Shia militias launching drones and projectiles toward Israeli territory.
• "Syria: Confronted militant factions and Iranian entrenchment, resulting in frequent Israeli airstrikes."President is former terrorist leader, known as Jolani,  selecting henchmen to be in government; treatment of citizens badly, put in prisons, etc. 
• The West Bank Judea-Sumeria) : An area of localized unrest, clashes, and counter-terrorism operations involving various Palestinian armed groups. 

These engagements range from full-scale military offensives to targeted strikes and covert operations .
