Tlaib (D-MI-13) 01/03/2022: Twitter thread – โ€œHisham Abu Hawash - married father of 5, held without a scrap of evidence, trial, or even a court hearing (in violation of int'l law) since October 2020. On hunger strike for 140+ days. The gov't of Israel alone is responsible for this situation and his health and safety.

Syria

Bacon (R-NE-2) 01/02/2022: Twitter thread – โ€œMy heart grieves for the people of Hong Kong who have had their freedoms trampled on by the Communist govt of China. โ€œOne country, two systemsโ€ was a lie. This is why Taiwan needs our close friendship and support. How democracy was dismantled in Hong Kong in 2021 | AP News   Link to reply@RepDonBacon Don I like you but w the US trampling on the very existence of Christians and other religious minorities in Syria by supporting extremist Sunni 'rebels' the US has no moral high ground to criticize China. @smith58_robert I have found the Kurds to be supportive of Christians and other religious minorities. We were opposing ISIS who do attack Christians. ISIS are the extremist Sunnis who we were opposing. Link to reply@johnorthrop @RepDonBacon I wondered the same thing in 2019 when trump said this: โ€œSomething is probably happening with Hong Kong, because when you look at, you know, what's going on, they've had riots for a long period of time. And I don't know what China's attitude is. Somebody said โ€ฆ 1/ @Rebecca28049528 @johnorthrop But you are silent now. Link to reply@RepDonBacon Had you spoken up when it mattered, when Trump was doing nothing, when Hong Kongers still had a chance of saving the city they love, then I would admire your words. But your words are hollow. HK was lost on your corrupt and compromised party's watch. GTFO of Congress. @georgemasters I've been speaking out in defense of freedom in Taiwan and Hong Kong since day #1. You're blinded by partisan hate. Link to imageโ€


Iran

Tenney (R-NY-22) 01/03/2022: Tweet – โ€œIran's anti-Semitic Supreme Leader is SANCTIONED by the US. He fuels terrorism abroad, represses the brave #Iranian people at home, and has the blood of American patriots on his hands. And yet he's still on TWITTER. RT if you agree: laws governing Big Tech need real reform.โ€

Hamdok's โ€œreturnโ€ to the job in Nov., after the junta allowed it, forestalled the inevitable: the betrayal of the #Sudanese people & the death of a fragile civilian & military transition.Risch: Hamdok's Resignation Completes Sudan's Oct. 25 Coup | United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relationsโ€


Afghanistan
