Two Republican congressmen have introduced legislation to grant Americans serving in the Israeli military the same employment and economic protections as those deployed in the U.S. military.
They stated they want Americans serving in the foreign military to be treated in the “same manner as service in the uniformed services.”
Nick Fuentes brought the matter up in a post on X. “How much more obvious can they make it that our government has been totally infiltrated and bought by Israel?” he quipped.
Other users replied to his post to voice their grievances over the proposed legislation. “Conservatives will compromise everything to send money to Israel,” one user said.
“It’s so obvious that they own us,” wrote another, to which a different account replied, “Wake up America.”
The proposed protections by Pennsylvania Rep. Guy Reschenthaler and Ohio Rep. Max Miller sharply contrasts with expectations placed on other countries to address their citizens who serve in Israel’s military, Middle East Eye (MEE) reported.
Reschenthaler said in a statement, “Over 20,000 American citizens are currently defending Israel from Hamas terrorists, risking their lives for the betterment of our ally.”
“This legislation will ensure we do everything possible to support these heroes who are standing with Israel, fighting for freedom, and combating terrorism in the Middle East,” he continued according to the outlet.
Headline USA reported that Miller said, “As our closest ally in the Middle East continues to defend itself against terror, many brave Americans have decided to lend a hand.”
“I’m proud that this legislation extends important protections to those Americans who chose to risk their lives in the fight against terror,” he continued.
AntiWar.com’s Dave DeCamp shared his analysis on the matter, stating, “It’s unclear what the chances are for Reschenthaler’s bill to pass Congress and become law but there is strong support for the Israeli military among House Republicans.”
“For example, Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) is an Israel Defense Force (IDF) veteran who recently wore his Israeli uniform on Capitol Hill, and he did not receive any backlash from his colleagues for showing up to work in the House wearing the uniform of a foreign military,” he added.
“Republicans have introduced a slew of pro-Israel legislation over the past few months to show staunch support for the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, including bills to impose harsh punishments on college protesters,” he concluded. “One bill introduced by Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) would send protesters to Gaza.”
MEE added that the bill would amend U.S. law to extend certain protections to American citizens serving in the Israeli military if passed.
These protections include safeguards against foreclosure and the repossession of rental property, reduced interest rates on loans taken out before their service, protection from default judgments in legal cases, and the same job rights and employment benefits that U.S. veterans receive.
The full section of the proposed legislation highlighted by Feuntes in his post reads: “For purposes of this chapter, to the extent practicable, the service of a citizen of the United States in the Israeli Defense Forces shall be treated in the same manner as service in the uniformed services.”
The Liberal Washington Post reported in February that there are roughly 23,380 American citizens currently serving in Israeli ranks, per Israel Defense Forces.
