The next Congress is shaping up to have the largest coalition of lawmakers willing to end U.S. complicity in the Israeli military’s violence ever.

But that accountability may fall short if this Congress codifies a dangerous Pentagon-Israel Defense Forces (IDF) partnership during the lame-duck session.

It all comes down to a block of text buried within this year’s 2,500-page National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill usually passes with ease, but this year’s process has been anything but business-as-usual amid historic opposition to its numerous harmful policies and disastrous $1.5T Pentagon budget topline in both the House and Senate.

Now, as congressional leadership hash out the final NDAA language behind the scenes, 12 senators just publicly demanded this provision be STRIPPED from the NDAA.

It’s opened a crucial — but narrow — window of opportunity to keep building the kind of opposition that can kick this provision to the cutting room floor. To do that, we need more lawmakers to listen to their constituents. That means you.
