A resurfaced Israeli TV clip is used to argue Israel's military would kill its own hostages and could one day turn US-shared weapons against Americans — framed as very bad for anyone worried about US-Israel entanglement.

• A leaked clip from Israel's Channel 12 shows officials on October 7th apparently willing to bomb the Gaza border even with their own captured soldiers there.
• This points to the "Hannibal Directive" — killing Israelis rather than let them be taken hostage, so captors gain no leverage.
• The bigger worry: proposals to merge US and Israeli militaries and intelligence (CIA-Mossad) could hand over American military tech.
• Both parties get blamed — Republicans as fully captured, Democrats as hypocrites taking lobby money while a few like Ro Khanna, Rashida Tlaib, and AOC fight alone.
• Attempts to block or condition US weapons to Israel keep getting shut down in Congress.

Outlook: Expect these amendments to keep failing and the merger proposals to advance quietly with little mainstream media attention.
