Israel - Palestine

Bacon (R-NE-2) 02/17/2022: Retweet of @jonathans_tobin – “Liberals were outraged about conservatives forming a congressional Torah Values Caucus. But is it any different than Jews advancing #liberalism under the banner of #Judaism? I explain in @JNS_org. Is there any harm in a non-Jewish congressional Torah Values Caucus?... | tinyurl.com”

Castro (D-TX-20) 02/16/2022: Retweet of @ianbremmer – “israel is blocking us transfer of iron dome missile defense system to ukraine (has to be approved by both countries) because they don't want to antagonize russia. one of closest us allies…least aligned with americans on a core national security issue.”

Deutch (D-FL-22) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “Honored to join @SpeakerPelosi in Israel to affirm the deep bond between the US and Israel, our commitment to Israel's lasting security, & peace and prosperity in the region. Link to quoted tweetAlong with @SpeakerPelosi, the Knesset welcomed members of the Congressional delegation: @RepAdamSchiff @RepTedDeutch @RepBarbaraLee @USRepKeating @RepSwalwell @RepRoKhanna @AndyKimNJ (Link to twitter.com)”

Khanna (D-CA-17) 02/16/2022: In reply to TweetI'm really disappointed by @RepBarbaraLee and @RepRoKhanna's decisions to join this trip. @SpeakerPelosi's propaganda trip comes just two weeks after @Amnesty released a report describing Israel's system of #apartheid. (Nancy Pelosi arrives at Knesset... | m.jpost.com) (Link to twitter.com) – “@SunjeevBery @RepBarbaraLee @RepRoKhanna @SpeakerPelosi @amnesty We have raised the issue multiple times of settlements, Wadi Foquin, the Gaza blockade, and Sheik Jarrah. We need to engage and build a broad coalition to move the needle for peace and human rights. Link to replyI find @RepRoKhanna's praise of Israeli tech particularly disturbing. #Israel's tech sector is deeply involved in surveillance of Palestinians, as well as helping other governments spy on journalists and human rights advocates worldwide. (Link to twitter.com) @SunjeevBery I call for an Internet Bill of Rights and have spoken out clearly against surveillance. One can celebrate entrepreneurship and innovation while calling for greater inclusion and strong guardrails.”

Khanna (D-CA-17) 02/17/2022: In reply to TweetOn the #ApartheidDelegation: @SpeakerPelosi calls Israel the greatest accomplishment of the 20th century @RoKhanna says he looks to Israel for inspiration Meanwhile in #SheikhJarrah, Palestinian families facing expulsion are being harassed by settlers&kahanist member of Knesset (Link to twitter.com) – “@ArielElyseGold Also have on this trip raised issue of evictions in Sheikh Jarrah, human rights in Wadi Foquin.

Massie (R-KY-4) 02/16/2022: Tweet – “How many people were unnecessarily injured by COVID vaccines because @CDCgov made a bureaucratic decision not to recognize natural immunity? In the beginning, how many vulnerable couldn't get a vax because, unlike Israel, US-gov told naturally immune to get in line for the vax? Link to quoted tweetHow did the consensus against recognizing natural immunity to COVID arise? In a closed-door meeting described here by insider Paul Offit, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins simply decided against recognizing natural immunity—and that was that. “Consensus” (Link to twitter.com)”

Massie (R-KY-4) 02/16/2022: Twitter thread – “I see a lot of people saying this is illegal. If it were illegal, she wouldn't be bragging about it. This is what I opposed, when no other Republican representative would stand up in 2020. Then I tried to show that these checks were going to non-citizens and people doubted me. Link to quoted tweetDemocrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she helped "huge amounts" of illegal immigrants get stimulus checks. (Link to twitter.com) Receipts from 2020, before Biden. Link to quoted tweetNow we are sending stimulus checks to Norwegian citizens living in Norway! At least the dead people who received stimulus checks were Americans. Twitter trolls can hate and call this fake, but I confirmed this 100%. Stop the insanity. Open our economy. Open our schools. (Link to twitter.com)   Link to reply@RepThomasMassie This is a crime, under state law. In fact, Biden and Pelosi swore that illegal immigrants were NOT getting stimulus checks. @AbrahamStein8 But I showed that non Americans were getting the checks in 2020. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie Unless my timeline is wrong, I believe it was Trump's Treasury that was in charge in August 2020. Also, it is possible that US citizens were living in Norway…. @ajnewsom Congress passed the bill. I was the only one who even tried to get a recorded vote at the time. The person who received that check isn't a citizen and never was. He worked in the US in the late 60's and early 70's. Link to reply@ajnewsom @RepThomasMassie Also... Thomas VOTED FOR THE BILL (Link to clerk.house.gov) @randymco @ajnewsom Wrong roll call. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie So? Are they dual citizens? @miiimiiii1 No. Doesn't hold a green card. Never was a citizen. Worked in the US fifty years ago as a student and postdoc. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie @ajnewsom The economic impact payments weren't from the CARES Act that you cosponsored? (Cosponsors - H.R.748 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): CARES Act | Congress.gov | Library of Congress) @randymco @ajnewsom I agree it's confusing. Sometimes the senate guts an unrelated house bill and replaces its text in order to circumvent the (origination clause of the) constitution. Massie defiant, criticizes leaders for preventing him from speaking on floor | TheHill   Link to reply@RepThomasMassie How did the government have his current address? @miiimiiii1 He paid into social security in the 1960's and 1970's. The US has reciprocal retirement (social security) systems with many other countries. He does not file a US tax return. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie We give Israel billions of dollars of charity while they enjoy free medical, free college. Are you opposed to that? Americans don't get free Medical or college. @siciliantaurus You picked the wrong Republican. Here's The 1 Republican Who Voted Against Funding Israel's Iron Dome | The Daily Caller   Link to reply@RepThomasMassie @ajnewsom Thanks for replying. Was it this vote that you didn't take part in specifically? (Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives | clerk.house.gov) @randymco @ajnewsom The CARES act vote was March 27th. There is no recorded vote and there will never be one. I forced Congress to come to DC that day but they refused to record the vote. Hopefully you're beginning to grasp the depravity of DC. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie Weren't they born on US soil ? Same event occurred in France @ksceaux Not this one. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie ($1,200 Coronavirus Stimulus Checks Mistakenly Sent To Foreign Workers Overseas : NPR | npr.org) @KJGinKY Not a mistake. They later received the other two checks as well !”

Cruz (R-TX) 02/16/2022: Retweet of @SenatorHagerty – “This is a disaster. A Senate-confirmed U.S. official should be negotiating this matter.
