I want you to die for Israel

Does "I want you to die for Israel" refer to the supportive policies of the US regarding Israel and is it ironically telling the US soldiers to sacrifice themselves for Israel?

Context:

Using the familiar, these works question and criticize political decisions by reworking propaganda and advertising tools of the past. The famous First World War recruiting poster centred on an image of a beckoning ‘Uncle Sam’ adds George W. Bush’s face and the words, ‘I want you for my war.’ Another, similar, states: ‘To those responsible. We’re coming for you.’ Yet another shouts abruptly: ‘I want you dead.’ One particularly ironic variation replaces Uncle Sam with Osama bin Laden, who states: ‘I want you to invade Iraq.’ ‘Uncle Sam’ images surface in other contexts. One tells viewers: ‘I want you to die for Israel'.
