Israel - Palestine

Bacon (R-NE-2) 11/07/2021: Retweet of @RJC – “VP @Mike_Pence: Jerusalem is the eternal, undivided capital of Israel - “that is non-negotiable.” #RJCinVegas 🇮🇱 🇺🇸”

Syria

Hagerty (R-TN) 11/06/2021: Twitter thread – “While Iran steps up attacks, Biden still hopes to give the mullahs billions in sanctions relief & revive the failed Iran nuclear deal. Biden's response to Iran's aggression should be to end the farce of the nuclear talks & go back to a maximum pressure approach without delay. Link to quoted tweetDrone attack targets Iraq PM, who escapes unhurt - Iraq military https://t.co/N5fYUcVi39 Tonight in Baghdad, Iran-backed militias attacked Iraq's Prime Minister in an apparent assassination attempt. PM Kadhimi thankfully survived w/minor injuries, but it's a dramatic escalation by an Iranian regime emboldened by 10 mos of Biden's appeasement.Link to apnews.com Tonight's attack in Baghdad comes just 15 days after an Iranian-directed attack on US troops in Syria. The IRGC & their proxy militias believe they can step up attacks against us and our allies because they perceive Biden is weak.Link to www.al-monitor.com”

Iran

Bacon (R-NE-2) 11/07/2021: Twitter thread – “We are seeing drone attacks routinely now in the Middle East. I’ve been working with the @HASCRepublicans & @HASCDemocrats to ensure our military will field better capabilities to counter. These drone attacks will increase and proliferate all over the world. We need to prepare. Link to quoted tweetA drone targeted the residence of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in Baghdad early Sunday, the army said, signaling a major escalation as Iran-linked groups contest the results of last month’s elections. https://t.co/GMGVr751AW   Link to reply@RepDonBacon @HASCRepublicans @HASCDemocrats Maybe we should not have left billions of dollars of military equipment in Afghanistan, which much of was sold on the black market. Surely there were a few drones of ours over there. @rogo000 @HASCRepublicans @HASCDemocrats I agree with you here. That is a disaster.”

Bacon (R-NE-2) 11/07/2021: Retweet of @JGreenblattADL – “Horrifying yet not surprising that Iran sentenced two gay men to be executed on charges of adultery - yet another example of how the regime systematically oppresses vulnerable minority groups: Link to www.barrons.com”

Gallego (D-AZ-7) 11/07/2021: Tweet – “If a Democrat had said something this stupid we would never even allowed to speak in NATSec circles.

Saudi Arabia

Khanna (D-CA-17) 11/06/2021: Tweet – “FARA records helped expose lobbying efforts by the Saudis aimed at defeating my Yemen War Powers Resolution. It’s one of many reasons why we need to make it easier for Americans to easily access these records.”

Horn of Africa

Gosar (R-AZ-4) 11/06/2021: Tweet – “Keeping an eye on US citizens stuck in war-torn Ethiopia. This could turn into another crisis. Biden’s State Department says it will not be able to perform the basic task of evacuating US Citizens should commercial flights become unavailable. @RaheemKassam Link to thenationalpulse.com”

Meeks (D-NY-5) 11/06/2021: Retweet of @margbrennan – ““On November 5, the Department ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members from Ethiopia due to armed conflict, civil unrest, and possible supply shortages.” Link to quoted tweet”

Afghanistan

Bacon (R-NE-2) 11/07/2021: Retweet of @Zarifa_Ghafari – “THE WORLD; can u hear us? If you know what humanity is all about, help us with not recognizing Taliban!

Smith (R-MO-8) 11/06/2021: In reply to TweetDo you think illegal immigration and open borders are a problem now? Wait until the cartel hears about the benefits under this bill, which includes $100 billion for BACKDOOR AMNESTY with 5-year renewable work visas. (10/x) – “But wait! If you’re wealthy, the news gets better. On page 226, taxpayers will be paying for your kids to go to preschool. And on page 1065, the wealthy get taxpayer-funded paid leave…over $3200 for a month! Surely "building back better" does something about the border crisis, right? Nope. “Border Security” and "Border Control" is listed in the 2100+ pages exactly ZERO times. Getting Americans out of Afghanistan? Zero mentions. Surely there's something about holding China accountable for covid, right? Nope, zero. Nada. Nothing. But hey! If you've been thinking about buying a taxpayer-funded electric bike, this is the bill for you! It’s in there. And after Thursday afternoon's revision, they quietly slipped an additional 10 pages into the bill late Thursday night. What did they add? Funny you ask, an additional $7,500 of tax relief for the 1%! If you're keeping score at home, that’s on top of the $250 billion in this bill to restore a tax break for the wealthiest of the wealthy. I repeat: ONE OF THE LARGEST PROGRAMS IN THIS BILL IS A TAX BREAK FOR MILLIONAIRES. Speaker Pelosi says this bill is “for the kids” and “for families”. Then why do families with two kids under 6 see a tax increase of $3,200 in 14 months under this bill while millionaires get a $27,000 tax cut? Ah, priorities priorities. Democrats say, “OUR BILL PUTS FAMILIES FIRST”. Ok…$20 million for plants, desert fish, and butterflies. Each. All ahead of families in this bill!”

Waltz (R-FL-6) 11/06/2021: Tweet – “5,000 terrorists were released from Bagram as part of Biden’s failed withdrawal and are now unaccountable. A pathway that can bring people across our Southern Border can move weapons & terrorists into our country. Biden’s open border threatens our safety & security. Link to video”

Cruz (R-TX) 11/06/2021: Tweet – “Liberals are weird. They don’t care about open borders. Or rising inflation. Or schools covering up sexual assaults. Or the disaster of Afghanistan. Or tyrannical Dems violating medical privacy & freedom. But criticize Big Bird? And they lose their sh**. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Link to quoted tweetGovernment propaganda…for your 5 year old! https://t.co/lKUlomnpq1”

Rosen (D-NV) 11/06/2021: Retweet of @SenCortezMasto – “Afghan women and girls have been the victims of targeted violence and are being denied their basic freedoms.
