Israel - Palestine

Cheney (R-WY-0) 03/18/2022: Tweet – “America's relationship with Israel has never been more important. Those of us who have never wavered in our support for Israel or our fight against anti-Semitism in the US & around the world want @AIPAC members to know your leadership is playing a dangerous game of politics.”

Cruz (R-TX) 03/19/2022: Twitter thread – “The Biden administration is dismantling sanctions and is aching to secure a new agreement with the Iranian regime that is even weaker than the original catastrophic Obama-Iran nuclear deal. 1/x Sen. Cruz Introduces Legislation to Ban the Biden Administration From Waiving Sanctions On Iran Nuclear Activities | U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas The Biden administration is so committed to their deal that they are willing to make Iran a nuclear client for Putin, including work that amounts to a $10 billion subsidy for his war machine. 2/x That's why I've introduced legislation to stop the Biden administration from issuing civil-nuclear waivers allowing Russia to build up Iran's nuclear program. 3/x The Ayatollah exploits these civil nuclear waivers to build up Iran's nuclear program with the express intention of eventually developing nuclear weapons to inflict destruction on America and our allies. 4/x When he chants ‘Death to Israel' and ‘Death to America,' he means it. President Trump rightly ended these waivers, and now the Biden administration is resurrecting them. It's unconscionable, and Congress must put a stop to it. 5/x”

Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14) 03/18/2022: Twitter thread – “So…AIPAC is now endorsing & donating to Republicans who voted to overturn the US election on Jan 6th because, according to their statement, it's more OK to dismantle US democracy than it is to question if US tax dollars should fund detention & abuse of Palestinian kids. Got it. Link to quoted tweetLengthy @AIPAC defense for endorsing Republicans who voted against certifying elex for Biden: "We can never let the things that divide Americans politically determine whether the United States will support Israel. We must be willing to stand with those who stand with Israel." (Link to twitter.com) Wonder what my Dem colleagues welcoming this kind of support think about this position.”

Omar (D-MN-5) 03/18/2022: Retweet of @juliabacha – “The @nytimes managed to run a massive editorial allegedly dissecting free speech issues ailing our country and completely missed Americans actually losing their livelihoods over political speech that the governments doesn't like, i.e. advocating for Palestinian human rights.”

The Administration is reportedly turning to despots in Iran and Venezuela to help meet oil shortages. Instead, it should be sending market signals to U.S. energy producers who want to step in, fill the void, and help America's European allies become less dependent on the energy supply of dictators.

Saudi Arabia

Greene (R-GA-14) 03/18/2022: Twitter thread – “1. With the “adults back in charge,” the dollar is on the verge of no longer being the world's currency. When countries like Saudi Arabia & UAE don't answer Biden's calls and India ignores US sanctions and buys oil from Russia using currency swap, America is losing control. Link to quoted tweetConfirmed. India has just bought oil from Russia-- at a discount (!) AND in rupees-roubles. This is the real story that you won't hear on the news. Global realignment. 2. This is why I have voted against sanctions on Russia. Sanctions will only push other countries together and away from the U.S. causing our dollar to crash, massive hyperinflation, and an economic crisis like America has never seen. Sanctions won't stop war in Ukraine. 3. Other countries have grown tired of America's rules and foreign policies. They are deciding that they don't need us even if we are paying them to be our friends. And war in Ukraine is a convenient cover up for Biden family & other's corruption in energy companies in Ukraine. 4. Pride comes before the fall. This is a fall that shouldn't take place and if it does it will cause a great reset that will bring unimaginable human suffering. Food famines, energy crisis, and tremendous loss. And likely war on a much bigger scale. 5. The solution is to urge Zelensky and Putin to seek peace and have a seat at the negotiating table. Not more funding for war and more sanctions that push Russia, India, Venezuela, SA, UAE, and other countries into the arms of China to trade on the Yuan instead of the Dollar. 6. The wise choice for America is for us to care about our own people's suffering with inflation, rapidly rising unaffordable gas prices, high crime, deadly border, and a moral crisis ruining our children's minds & stealing their souls. Save America before it's too late.”

Khanna (D-CA-17) 03/18/2022: Tweet – “JFK challenged us to go to the moon to win the Cold War. Today we must have a moonshot to produce clean energy to defang petrostates like Russia and Saudi Arabia.”
