Israel - Palestine
Long (R-MO-7) 07/31/2022: Retweet of @netanyahu – “יש לי הרבה חברים שכמו זיו שילון עברו קרבות בגבורה. אבל יש את הקרב שאחרי הקרב. הקרב להתעשת, לחזור לעצמך ולהתגבר על הטראומה הקשה שרק מי שהיה בשדה הקרב מכיר. בקרב הזה כולנו נלחמים יחד. אין מצווה גדולה יותר, אין חובה גדולה יותר ואין זכות גדולה יותר. אני מצדיע לכם!

Long (R-MO-7) 08/01/2022: Retweet of @HananyaNaftali – “Israeli security forces arrested 13 Hamas terrorists in Judea and Samaria overnight. Clashes erupted but no one injured on our side. 💪”
Lebanon
Levin (D-MI-9) 08/01/2022: Twitter thread – “To me, Leeza and her whole family are the American story. Immigrating from Lebanon, creating small businesses that become community institutions, working hard day in, day out, year in, year out, providing phenomenal opportunities for the next generation. 1/2 Link to image I love supporting Leeza and all the other small businesses like hers. And you have to admit, when the food is this good, it's not exactly a sacrifice! 2/2”
Iran
Risch (R-ID) 08/01/2022: Tweet – “The continued Iranian harassment of @AlinejadMasih is outrageous. I was honored to meet her last year after the Iranians attempted to kidnap her. Her steadfast commitment to fighting the #Iranian regime and standing up for #humanrights should be an inspiration to us all. Link to quoted tweetThese are the scary scenes capturing a man who tried to enter my house in New York with a loaded gun to kill me. Last year the FBI stopped the Islamic Republic from kidnapping me. My crime is giving voice to voiceless people. The US administration must be tough on terror. (Link to twitter.com)”
Rubio (R-FL) 08/01/2022: Tweet – “Important step by @StateDept to sanction six entities responsible for transporting Iranian oil. Congress should swiftly pass Sen. Rubio's bill to ban the importation of Iranian & Venezuelan oil. These regimes don't deserve oil deals or sanctions relief.

Saudi Arabia
Allen (R-GA-12) 08/01/2022: Tweet – “Thanks to Biden's war on American energy, Saudi Arabia saw its economy grow by 11.8% during the last quarter. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy actually shrank by 0.9% — officially kicking off a recession. This is the definition of America Last.”
Jackson Lee (D-TX-18) 07/31/2022: Twitter thread – “It is shameful that Asim Ghafoor, the former lawyer of Jamal khashoggi, is now wrongfully held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after being detained while transiting through the Dubai International Airport. He was convicted in absentia on currently unsubstantiated charges and sentenced to three years in prison without being provided any information regarding the charges against him nor being given the opportunity to defend himself. Asim grew up in Texas and worked for the United States Congress. There is no basis for Asim to be held. I am asking the UAE to show and give humanitarian relief to Asim Ghafoor and they must do it now! I join with other members of Congress confirming that Asim is wrongfully held and that he should be released now!”
McCarthy (R-CA-23) 08/01/2022: Retweet of @RepRickAllen – “Thanks to Biden's war on American energy, Saudi Arabia saw its economy grow by 11.8% during the last quarter. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy actually shrank by 0.9% — officially kicking off a recession. This is the definition of America Last.”
Omar (D-MN-5) 07/31/2022: Retweet of @RashidaTlaib – “.@UAEEmbassyUS myself and my colleagues will not stand by as you attack American lawyer Asim Ghafoor for representing Jamal Khashoggi. The UAE must give @StateDept US officials and his lawyers access to him immediately. Link to quoted tweet”
Veasey (D-TX-33) 07/31/2022: Tweet – “Wonder does he also sell the Saudi LIV golf tickets? Hear they were going for only $1 buck Link to quoted tweet🧵In Bellville, about an hour or so northwest of Houston, Trump Burger is your standard burger joint with the added twist of being a monument to former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Jewish, Anti-semitism
Levin (D-MI-9) 07/31/2022: Twitter thread – “Judy Levin Cantor was a rock in my life, the life of the Jewish community, and truly a driving force of the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan, long before I served on its board. (1/3) Her advice, counsel, stories and enthusiasm for understanding the past and creating a more just future nourished me and so many others. (2/3) Her gentle spirit and abundant energy will live on through her wonderful family, and so many of us who loved her. (3/3)”
Sherrill (D-NJ-11) 07/31/2022: Twitter thread – “Raoul Wallenburg was a true hero who worked selflessly to rescue thousands of Jews during the Holocaust. Each year, Adath Shalom Synagogue and @ParTroyHills honor him with an interfaith service at Dr. Edward Adams's “Courage and Compassion” sculpture by Smith Field. Link to image Holocaust education is vital to ensuring it never happens again and to thwarting the disturbing rise of anti semitism here at home and around the world today.

Afghanistan
Bacon (R-NE-2) 07/31/2022: Retweet of @IRAP – “Yesterday marked the 1-year anniversary of the arrival of the 1st evacuation flight from Afghanistan to the US. #OneYearLater, the US has yet to fulfill its moral, congressional, and court-ordered obligations to protect Afghans at risk, including SIV applicants. 1/3”
Carter (R-GA-1) 08/01/2022: Tweet – “This month marks 1 year since Biden abandoned Americans and our allies in Afghanistan. House Democrats have refused to hold him accountable, which is one of many reasons Republicans must take back the House! Link to image”
Crow (D-CO-6) 07/31/2022: Tweet – “I founded the bipartisan Honoring Our Promises Working Group to evacuate Afghan interpreters & partners who helped soldiers like me. Nearly 1 year after our withdrawal, we reconvened at the @StateDept this week to discuss our latest efforts to help our Afghan friends. Link to image”
Garcia (R-CA-25) 08/01/2022: Tweet – “Nearly one year after the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, over 100 Americans and thousands of interpreters are still left behind enemy lines. It's time to #FinishTheMission and get these heroes to safety.”
McCaul (R-TX-10) 08/01/2022: Tweet – “LR @RepMcCaul: "Nearly a year after @POTUS defended his failed Afghanistan policy by falsely claiming al Qaeda was “gone” from Afghanistan, a UN report says they enjoy greater freedom in Taliban controlled Afghanistan, and the Taliban and Al Qaeda 'remain close'."”
Other - Middle East
Hudson (R-NC-8) 08/01/2022: Tweet – “Last month Biden asked the Middle East to increase oil production to fix his self-made energy crisis. This is not the answer. Instead of looking outward to address energy costs, we must unleash American energy! #BidenPriceHike”
Long (R-MO-7) 07/31/2022: Retweet of @Breaking911 – “Mohammed Khalifa, the English-language narrator in ISIS propaganda videos, sentenced in US court - Mohammed Khalifa, the English-language narrator in ISIS propaganda videos, sentenced to life - Breaking911 Link to image”
