Israel - Palestine

Mast (R-FL-18) 05/22/2022: Tweet – “The sad reality is the Palestinian Authority isn't interested in a two-state solution. So why does the Biden Administration keep filling their coffers and enabling a fight against our strongest ally, Israel? Pouring Out Money for Corrupt Palestinian "Leaders"... | mast.house.gov

McBath (D-GA-6) 05/22/2022: Tweet – “When Jeff's daughter was stuck in Israel and needed help with her passport, my office was able to help.

Apartheid

Pressley (D-MA-7) 05/21/2022: Tweet – “Banning abortion — in a country that deprives families of universal health care, child care & paid leave — in a country w/ a history of medical apartheid against Black, brown, immigrant, Indigenous & disabled folks — is inhumane, unjust & unconscionable. 'Pushed to the margins': Why some activists and lawmakers say abortion bans are a form of White supremacy | CNN

Iran

Davidson (R-OH-8) 05/22/2022: Twitter thread – “The Biden Administration seems to have an uncanny ability to surrender America's sovereignty. Whether the Paris Accord, Iran nuclear deal, covering for a weak and under-funded NATO (at America's expense), or new global health standards (the latest issue)…World Health Organization pandemic treaty: A fresh push for vaccine passports, global surveillance, and more... | reclaimthenet.org Obviously, none of these are binding treaties without Senate ratification and any strong President would simply withdraw from them, but the entanglements and mixed messages continue to weaken our nation making us less free, less safe, and more burdened by debt. I am strongly opposed. WHO still refuses to pressure China for access to COVID origins data. This corrupt agency needs reformed or closed, not expanded with more funding and more influence. Joe Biden is going the wrong way - again.

Jewish, Anti-semitism

Jeffries (D-NY-8) 05/21/2022: Tweet – “A partisan Republican Judge in Steuben County degraded the Black & Latino populations in five New York City-based congressional districts. And gratuitously eliminated the most Jewish district in the country. Thank the New York State Court of Appeals for this sickening mess. Link to video

Levin (D-MI-9) 05/21/2022: Tweet – “When I started helping nursing home workers organize with @SEIU, Selma Goode was in charge of the Jewish Labor Committee Michigan chapter. And we've been friends and comrades ever since. Happy 99th birthday, Selma! Link to image

Swalwell (D-CA-15) 05/21/2022: Retweet of @SteveSchmidtSES – “.⁦⁦@mschlapp⁩ and ⁦@mercedesschlapp⁩ are responsible for this ⁦@CPAC⁩ disgrace. Read this story. It is extremely important.

Afghanistan

Cornyn (R-TX) 05/22/2022: Retweet of @ChadPergram – “2) Cotton: It's very important that we help the Ukrainians fight their own war. This is much like what Ronald Reagan did with Afghanistan. Whenever a Russian invaded that country in the 1980s

Khanna (D-CA-17) 05/22/2022: Retweet of @WalshFreedom – “Doesn't get said enough: 1. Thank you @POTUS for having the guts to get us out of Afghanistan & end America's longest war. Leaving was always gonna be ugly, but u held firm. 2. Thank you @POTUS for uniting the free world against Putin & for strongly & smartly defending Ukraine.
