“America Is Morally Obligated” – Thomas Massie Co-Sponsors Legislation To Limit Transfer Of “Offensive Weapons” To Israel

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he is co-sponsoring legislation to limit the transfer of “offensive weapons” from the United States to Israel.

“Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians,” Massie said.

“America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel,” he continued.

Massie has also criticized a provision in the House’s version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that allegedly tightens the relationship between the United States and Israeli militaries closer than ever before.

Section Of Drafted 2027 NDAA Allegedly Would “Integrate/Synchronize” The United States And Israeli Militaries

Section 224 of the House Armed Services Committee’s version of the fiscal year 2027 NDAA is titled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”

“This section would require the Secretary of Defense to designate an executive agent responsible for synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, including bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation,” the section reads.

“If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor,” Massie said.

“We are a sovereign country,” he added.

Meanwhile, Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) proposed a resolution to “transition the United States-Israel relationship away from one of traditional foreign assistance towards a new era of mutual cooperation, joint investment, and shared development.”

“The United States and Israel stand together against totalitarianism and for freedom. We are bound by the shared Western values that built both our nations. As long as those values are under threat, we will defend them side by side. The alliance is entering a new era,” Stutzman said.

“My new resolution affirms that the United States stands with Israel not out of obligation, but out of shared strength and shared strategic interest. Israel has come of age where our nations should contribute equally and share results equally. Trade over aid!” he continued.
