NO. Read the room we’ve 🇺🇸 had enough of anything foreign, anything Mideast and yes especially news from Israel… it could be antisemitism… but it’s really being forced to drink from a fire hose for decades on both the Holocaust (which is our fault because we’re white men) and endless wars in the Mideast, endless Israeli Palestinian news.
It’s not antisemitism it’s projectile vomiting after being forced to drink from a fire hose. Genug ! Enough. That’s just the emotional or perhaps digestive is the better word.
Then there’s the rational argument against this and any foreign entanglement; it’s not in America, it’s not under our control or direct ability to safeguard or control, it’s not American jobs it’s more outsourcing (really? Seriously?) and your not swimming against the tide you’re wading into a Tsunami. NO.
I must say that the line “less exposed places than Taiwan” gave me a dark chuckle. Not that I underestimate Israel’s now legendary defensive capabilities. Point two: I doubt the Israelis need creative help from Silicon Valley, though cooperation and coordination is always a positive in creative endeavours.
Interesting idea. Both chip fabrication and AI model training require a lot of electricity, need to think about where it comes from. Nuclear seems like the best bet
Can't do nuclear power in Israel even aside from security concerns because it's a non signatory to nuclear treaties. Negev might have solar or gas availability though (especially if we get Gulf states to build pipelines to the Mediterranean to avoid Hormuz).
According to Grok there are work arounds to NPT requirements. Surprised author didn’t cover this since it apparently has already been discussed and the US and India have a similar agreement.
Practical/Workaround Models Often Discussed for Israel
Recent Israel-US proposals (e.g., for a Negev tech park powering AI/data centers) illustrate creative approaches:
• US-owned/operated reactors on Israeli soil, under US regulatory oversight and supervision. Energy sold to Israel without full technology transfer. 
• “Black box” or leased models — Supplier retains control over fuel and core; Israel gets power but not direct access or ownership of sensitive technology.
• Special bilateral MOUs or frameworks (analogous to the US-India civil nuclear deal) that provide assurances without requiring Israel to join the NPT or open all facilities. 
Inviting US bases onto Israeli soil is a terrible idea longterm
Israel is America’s forward operating base in the Levant. If America doesn’t secure that region and its oil, China will.
We already secured the oil we have bases all over.
Why?
Overreach.
You overreach.

Except Americans apparently don't want domestic AI data centers.
The power generation. AI is driving an enormous amount of power generation, compute is a lesser consideration.
Excellent article with compelling logic. Hope the US does not miss out on this win-win.
Lose/lose.

💯 for the pertinence of this article.
