Israel - Palestine

Omar (D-MN-5) 02/11/2022: Retweet of @DrShushan – “Mehdi: "Do you think Israel controls Congress?" Friedman: "Regrettably, no..." Call me old-fashioned, but I think it's appalling that a former president and his former ambassador believe a foreign country did and/or should control a branch of the US government. Link to quoted tweet”

Portman (R-OH) 02/11/2022: Twitter thread – “In a recent op-ed for @Foxnews, I discuss my efforts in the Senate to help strengthen the security of our religious communities, including my bipartisan Pray Safe Act which Congress should work quickly to pass. No more Texas synagogue attacks – pass bipartisan Pray Safe Act... | foxnews.com The Pray Safe Act will create a place for religious institutions to access information on trainings – like the trainings received by the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue that Rabbi Cytron-Walker lauded for providing lifesaving knowledge during last month's hostage situation.”

Syria

Cardin (D-MD) 02/11/2022: Twitter thread – “There is no question that Iran today is closer to a nuclear weapon because former Pres. Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. THREAD. Link to quoted tweet"Iran openly violated the terms of the nuclear agreement and we're now in a worse position," @SenatorCardin states. @jdbalart @MSNBC (Link to twitter.com) In 2015, under the Iran nuclear deal, the US estimated that it would take Iran approx. 12 months to produce enough nuclear fuel for a bomb. Today, because former Pres. Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018, it is estimated to take only a month to produce enough nuclear fuel for a bomb. Tehran has enriched higher quality uranium and restricted international inspectors' access to the nuclear facilities. It will be hard to bring Iran back to the 2015 restrictions, but that needs to be our objective. We also need Iran to cease other malign activities, like their ballistic missile program, human rights violations and support of terrorism. Those issues need to be on the table.”

Cornyn (R-TX) 02/12/2022: Retweet of @Norman_Roule – “Tehran's sanctions challenge is that its support for terrorism, militias, hostage-taking, human rights violations, & missile/drone proliferation guarantees future sanctions.

Duckworth (D-IL) 02/11/2022: Tweet – “In the years since Trump abandoned the JCPOA, the threat of Iran developing a nuclear weapon has increased, not decreased. In order to truly advance US security interests, we should do everything we can to find a viable diplomatic solution that prevents an Iranian nuclear weapon.”

Dunn (R-FL-2) 02/11/2022: Retweet of @OrgIAC – “.@DrNealDunnFL2: This morning marks the anniversary of the 1979 revolution for freedom in Iran.

Kelly (R-PA-16) 02/11/2022: Tweet – “The often-used quote "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" is once again appropriate when assessing Russia's threats against Ukraine. China also continues to threaten Taiwan. Our nation and the "Free World" must show strength against these global bullies. Link to quoted tweetOur nation needs a robust foreign policy that protects both ourselves and our allies. Whether it's China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, or others, we should take their advancements seriously. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

That's exactly what will happen. Spurning Demand by the Taliban, Biden Moves to Split $7 Billion in Frozen Afghan Funds... | nytimes.com There wasn't a single Afghan among the hijackers. Meanwhile, we are giving BILLIONS of dollars to the govts of Saudi Arabia & Egypt who have direct ties to the 9/11 terrorists.

Afghanistan

Arrington (R-TX-19) 02/11/2022: Twitter thread – “We all hoped Biden learned something from the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. He must be strong and decisive, not hesitant and half-measured. In the absence of US strength, Putin doesn't think the cost will be higher than the benefit of invading Ukraine. A destabilizing chain reaction among our adversaries will ensue if we aren't successful in deterring Putin.”

Bacon (R-NE-2) 02/11/2022: Twitter thread – “The WH has put spin over truth, and nothing demonstrated that more than their spin during the Afghanistan debacle. Veterans all over our country heard POTUS say it was a success and he had no regrets. We won't forget. Link to quoted tweetThe full exchange was painful to watch. I'm not sure why it's so hard to say some variation of “the decision to withdraw was the correct one, but our execution was highly flawed, and we're working hard to incorporate lessons learned into how we operate going forward.” (Link to twitter.com)   Link to reply@DonJBacon So you have no problem fully supporting a president that full on lies all the time but “spin” by the current admin is a bridge too far? @BSmith1068 The Afghan fiasco had a bunch of doin and lies. Link to reply@DonJBacon Ok. I'll bite. What were the lies? And how does that compare to the last admin, especially on the “big lie” around the election and his use of that to foment a violent insurrection on your work place and the county you profess to love? @BSmith1068 Lies: That our military agreed with Biden on the withdrawal, that Afghan Govt would hold for at least 2 years, that we'd get out all Americans, and that we'd get out all the Afghan interpreters. Link to reply@DonJBacon Don, you have the intellectual and principled credibility of a guy selling pencils from a cup, Fortenberry taught you well. @JohnnyMo12 Just a clear moral compass. I don't begrudge pencil salesmen.”

Bacon (R-NE-2) 02/11/2022: Retweet of @EWErickson – “Question: If the US military released a major report that painted the Trump Administration in a bad light, how would the news networks treat it when Trump rejected the reports' findings? Because Biden just did that with the DOD's Afghanistan report. Jill Biden helped gum up the Afghanistan evacuation effort, Navy admiral claims in report | Fox News”

Burchett (R-TN-2) 02/11/2022: Tweet – “Our government shouldn't normalize relations with Taliban terrorists holding an American citizen hostage in Afghanistan.

Cline (R-VA-6) 02/11/2022: Tweet – “Democrats went from “The Buck Stops Here” to “It wasn't me.”   Biden's rejection of a recent @USArmy report criticizing his Administration's disaster in Afghanistan shows an utter disregard for those who served there. Biden says he rejects findings of Army report on Afghanistan... | thehill.com”

Crow (D-CO-6) 02/11/2022: Twitter thread – “Last month, I joined @RepMalinowski and @RepMeijer in calling for a comprehensive response to Afghanistan's economic collapse and famine, including a release of funds. Today, @POTUS announced an important first step in that process. My thoughts on next steps⬇️🧵: (1/4) Link to quoted tweetBREAKING: President Biden is expected to issue an executive order to move some $7 billion of the Afghan central bank's assets frozen in the U.S. banking system to fund humanitarian relief in Afghanistan and compensate Sept. 11 victims, source tells @AP (Biden to split frozen Afghan funds for 9/11 victims, relief... | apne.ws) The famine is the result of a liquidity crisis. After the Taliban takeover in August sanctions (US and UN) effectively crippled the economy by stopping the flow of money. Afghan money is also tied up by the 9/11 victim survivor lawsuit. (2/4) The result is Afghans can't access their money to buy food. Unfreezing funds for humanitarian aid could help — IF aid flows fast enough. But without addressing the banking problem, that alone won't solve the long-term issue: the viability of the Afghan economy. (3/4) We still need a comprehensive approach. This must include thoughtful measures to ease banking restrictions while also maintaining sanctions to prevent money from flowing to the Taliban. (4/4)”

Fallon (R-TX-4) 02/12/2022: Tweet – “I've said it once and I'll say it again – this Administration needs to be held accountable for this disastrous withdrawal.

Kim (R-CA-39) 02/12/2022: Tweet – “The women of Afghanistan were left at the mercy of the Taliban when President Biden withdrew without a plan in place.
