Jeffries (D-NY-8) 04/16/2022: Retweet of @POTUS – “Happy Passover to all who celebrate in America, Israel, and around the world. May God bless you all during this season of renewal, this festival of freedom. From our family to yours: Chag sameach.”
Long (R-MO-7) 04/17/2022: Retweet of @HananyaNaftali – “The Palestinians blocked the paths on Temple Mount that are used by Jewish visitors. They call it “stopping invaders”. I think they need a quick history lesson as to who is the real invader. Jews existed in this land before the name “Palestine” even existed. Link to image”
Long (R-MO-7) 04/17/2022: Retweet of @netanyahu – “אסור לעבור לסדר היום על כך שעשרות אוטובוסים נרגמו היום באבנים בלב ירושלים. אני מתפלל לרפואת הפצועים. חייבים לפעול ביד קשה נגד הטרור ולהחזיר מייד את השקט והביטחון לבירת ישראל. Link to image”
Long (R-MO-7) 04/17/2022: Retweet of @HananyaNaftali – “Jewish worshipers walking in the old city of Jerusalem while accompanied by heavy security. Israel. 2022. Unthinkable that in our very own capital we will be under attack. Link to video”

Pressley (D-MA-7) 04/16/2022: Tweet – “Passover, Ramadan, and Resurrection Sunday sharing this weekend is a beautiful reminder that our destinies are tied. The violence by Israeli forces against Palestinian families gathered peacefully in worship is unacceptable and we must condemn it. Israeli forces raid Al-Aqsa Mosque, over 50 Palestinians injured... | aje.io”
Roy (R-TX-21) 04/17/2022: Retweet of @ShannonBream – “This will always be one of my most treasured memories, at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. He is Risen. 🙌 Link to image”

Lieu (D-CA-33) 04/16/2022: In reply to TweetI appeal to American people & government. We're grateful for the Stingers & Javelins, but we need a long-range weapon. That it particularly important for Mariupol. US has UAVs Reaper MQ9. It showed excellent work in Afghanistan, Iraq & Syria. Now #Ukraine needs it more than ever (Link to twitter.com) – “@InnaSovsun FYI. Link to image”
Murphy (D-CT) 04/16/2022: Tweet – “This piece is fine but it's wild how the foreign policy consensus can't quit certain fallacies - like the existence of something called a “no fly zone” over Ukraine; or that more U.S. military intervention was what Syria was missing. This Is the War's Decisive Moment... | theatlantic.com”
Iran
Bacon (R-NE-2) 04/16/2022: Retweet of @SenJoniErnst – “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard—an Iranian terrorist group—is responsible for the deaths of countless American troops and is actively trying to kill U.S. politicians and public servants.

Mast (R-FL-18) 04/16/2022: Tweet – “Biden's insistence on cozying up to terrorists in Iran is deeply troubling. Why does Biden keep giving Iran a free pass?... | washex.am”
Saudi Arabia
Cassidy (R-LA) 04/16/2022: Tweet – “This should not be a hard choice. Create jobs, lower energy costs and help defeat Russia. Why the United States is reluctant to become the Saudi Arabia of natural gas... | marketwatch.com”
Omar (D-MN-5) 04/16/2022: Tweet – “Yemen's devastating humaniterian crisis isn't because of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. It's because of the Saudi led coalition's brutal war and blockade that is starving millions of Yemenis, which the U.S still supports. Let's not put the blame where it doesn't belong. Link to quoted tweetThe U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is accusing Russia of making the food instability in Yemen and elsewhere even worse by invading Ukraine. Linda Thomas-Greenfield called it another ripple effect of an “unprovoked, unjust, unconscionable war." (US and Russia clash over cause of food price rises... | apne.ws)”

Long (R-MO-7) 04/17/2022: Retweet of @HananyaNaftali – “Jewish worshipers are right now visiting the Temple Mount under heavy security.

Casten (D-IL-6) 04/17/2022: Retweet of @DougJBalloon – “Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob canceled the baseball team‘s racist mascot.

It's amazing how literally awful the Russian military is. I'd put even odds on the 1930 Russians beating current Russia Link to reply@AdamKinzinger @MapsUkraine How did the US do in Afghanistan? Or have you forgotten that debacle already? @RocCityBuilt @MapsUkraine We lost as many men as Russia on day 1. Or put another way, the Russians have lost in a month more than they lost when they lost in Afghanistan and left as losers like when they lose in Ukraine again. Link to replyRussian Airborne paratroopers on their way to Mariupol City with heavy equipment, they are most likely going to take part in levelling the whole of Azovstal as the militants don't want to surrender. @MapsUkraine Why is everyone so mad at me?
