I'm just flabbergasted and disgusted that at this point in time, with Israel out of control and committing all kinds of war crimes, the US is trying to wed itself closer to Israel and make what looks like a joint military system. What happened to American independence? Is Israel our 51st state?

Of course Republicans are so warped at this point I guess they think this is great-- but Dems have to care and stand up for American values.
