Israel - Palestine

Fulcher (R-ID-1) 11/15/2021: Tweet – “Reopening the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem would be inconsistent with the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 by promoting division of Jerusalem. This is unacceptable. Read our letter to President Joe Biden on this proposal: Link to fulcher.house.gov   Link to image”

Meijer (R-MI-3) 11/14/2021: Twitter thread – “Hadn't listened to @voxdotcom Weeds podcast in ages, saw latest was on SALT- had to listen. Did not disappoint in highlighting hypocrisy of abolishing SALT caps. @JerusalemDemsas (I think) also made elegant point on benefits of devolution to states. (1/2) Link to podcasts.apple.com So much potential at state level to not only raise programs partisans are hamfistedly posturing about in Congress but demonstrate solutions that work. Federalizing every issue prioritizes rhetoric over results and leads to inefficient, ineffective outcomes. A worthy listen. (2/2)”

Rosen (D-NV) 11/15/2021: Retweet of @AIPAC – “🇺🇸🇮🇱 Democrats and Republicans in Washington and across the country strongly support the U.S.-Israel relationship. #StrongerTogether Link to quoted tweet”

Jewish, Anti-semitism

Bowman (D-NY-16) 11/14/2021: Tweet – “This isn't about masks or vaccines. This is about hate and anti-semitism. It is disgusting and repulsive. To bring this vitriol outside a Jewish legislators office was no accident. The community and @JeffreyDinowitz deserve an apology. Link to quoted tweetThe display of swastikas and yellow Stars of David outside my office today is repugnant and offensive. People are perfectly free to express their opinion on vaccines or any issue, but to openly display Nazi symbols outside the office of a Jewish legislator is despicable. https://t.co/NEjFna12Hn https://t.co/2a1YVPTbEY”

Meng (D-NY-6) 11/14/2021: Tweet – “Everyone, including the Republicans should condemn this shameful display of Nazi symbols - swastikas and yellow stars of David. Horrifying.

Iran

Davidson (R-OH-8) 11/15/2021: Twitter thread – “Joe Biden is bad for America. Yemen isn't really our fight, but weakness is consequential. "America's enemies around the world sense weakness in the White House, and they are moving to take advantage." Link to www.wsj.com via @WSJOpinion Link to reply@WarrenDavidson @WSJopinion Anyone who thinks the Houthis are more our enemies than Saudi royals are is definitely corrupt as hell. @anyone_famous @WSJopinion Iranian proxies are bad. Of course, the left wants to cut deals with Iran's government.”

Pfluger (R-TX-11) 11/15/2021: Twitter thread – “President Biden's decision to remove the Iranian-backed Houthis from the terror list was dangerous and reckless.

Massie (R-KY-4) 11/15/2021: Twitter thread – “Never forget: this equipment wasn't captured or stolen from American forces. Nearly all of it, tens of billions of dollars worth, was GIVEN to the Afghanistan government we propped up as part of a ridiculous Neocon strategy over the last 20 years. I opposed every penny of it. Link to quoted tweetTaliban forces held a military parade in Kabul using captured American-made armored vehicles and Russian helicopters in a display that showed their ongoing transformation from an insurgent force to a regular standing army https://t.co/v4q9fSm5YL https://t.co/SW6RzjoHMu @ThejojoNN Yeah, who could have seen that coming?!”

Reschenthaler (R-PA-14) 11/14/2021: Tweet – “Biden insisted he could deal with emerging threats in Afghanistan "over-the-horizon." Now, the Biden Admin must beg for some semblance of capability in the region. Biden's over-the-horizon plan was just lip service, and now America is less secure. Link to www.washingtontimes.com”

Roy (R-TX-21) 11/14/2021: Tweet – “Yet - @HouseGOP poised to say “sure, I'll give DOD even MORE money with no accountability for this debacle, no change to climate/CRT indoctrination, & the bonus of grabbing guns & drafting daughters… what the hell!” #IdiotGOP #DontDraftOurDaughters Link to quoted tweetTaliban forces held a military parade in Kabul using captured American-made armored vehicles and Russian helicopters in a display that showed their ongoing transformation from an insurgent force to a regular standing army https://t.co/v4q9fSm5YL https://t.co/SW6RzjoHMu”

Inhofe (R-OK) 11/14/2021: Tweet – “Our credibility is on the ropes due to the Afghanistan debacle - undermining our nuclear policy would be a self-inflicted knockout punch.   @POTUS is misguided if he says our alliances & partnerships are a key asymmetric advantage, then undermines them w/ reckless nuclear policy. Link to quoted tweetScaling back America's nuclear deterrent by adopting a “no first use” policy would cause great strategic damage to the U.S. amid threats from China and Russia. https://t.co/VdwPnrnuL4”
