Israel - Palestine

Brown (D-OH-11) 09/22/2022: Tweet – “I echo my colleagues. Being progressive and supporting the Jewish, democratic State of Israel are far from mutually exclusive – they go hand-in-hand! These comments do not speak for the overwhelming majority of us who identify with both. Link to quoted tweetJews are the most targeted religious community in the United States. Divisive language is never acceptable, especially at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise. People can absolutely hold progressive values and support Israel's right to exist.”

Cicilline (D-RI-1) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “Going to miss you, @RepTedDeutch. @AJCGlobal's gain is certainly Congress's loss. Link to video”

Connolly (D-VA-11) 09/22/2022: Tweet – “Progressives across the Democratic Party overwhelmingly support Israel's right to exist and continue to fight for a two-state solution. That doesn't mean we don't call out injustices — we must. But this conflict — like our caucus — needs bridge builders, not divisive rhetoric. Link to quoted tweetJews are the most targeted religious community in the United States. Divisive language is never acceptable, especially at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise. People can absolutely hold progressive values and support Israel's right to exist.”

Deutch (D-FL-22) 09/21/2022: Twitter thread – “That's right, Chairman Nadler. And remember, there are progressive activists, progressive students, and progressive Members of Congress whose support of democratic Israel is fundamentally a part of their progressive values. They all belong at the table. We will not be silenced. Link to quoted tweetI fundamentally reject the notion that one cannot support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state and be a progressive.

Joyce (R-OH-14) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “Iran is a threat to the well-being of the American people and the security of one of our great allies: Israel.

Malliotakis (R-NY-11) 09/21/2022: Retweet of @RepMalliotakis – “If @POTUS is serious about protecting Israel & preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, his admin CANNOT rejoin the failed JCPOA. We must use maximum pressure against the leading state sponsor of terrorism - especially as they continue to target Americans on US soil.”

Malliotakis (R-NY-11) 09/22/2022: Twitter thread – “There is no room in Staten Island or anywhere in our country for any form of anti-Semitism. I am deeply disgusted by someone painting a swastika on a campaign sign of my opponent, who is of Jewish faith. (1/3) Over the years, I've worked closely with colleagues, religious leaders, and organizations like @AIPAC and @CasePacUSA to condemn hateful and offensive acts like these and work to ensure they never happen again. Sadly there is still work to do. (2/3) I am confident the @NYPDHateCrimes will conduct a thorough investigation to hold the individual responsible accountable. (3/3)”

Manning (D-NC-6) 09/21/2022: Retweet of @DemMaj4Israel – “Thank you, @RepKManning, for speaking out about the disturbing educational materials used in @UNRWA textbooks and in Palestinian Authority-led schools that perpetuate antisemitism and bring us further from peace. Link to video”

Manning (D-NC-6) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “Claiming that progressives cannot support the State of Israel misrepresents both progressive values & the true nature of Israel. It's harmful to the pursuit of peace, ignores the realities of the ongoing conflict, and is irresponsible at a time when antisemitism is on the rise.”

Mast (R-FL-18) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “My bill is simple: no taxpayer funding to indoctrinate terrorists. How is this even a bill that needs to be passed? This bill would prevent US funds going to antisemitic textbooks in Gaza... | jpost.com”

McEachin (D-VA-4) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “This is a dangerous, unproductive assertion. There are supporters of Israel on both sides of the aisle & within different groups of the Democratic Party.

Newman (D-IL-3) 09/22/2022: Tweet – “I am disappointed in my colleagues attacking @RepRashida and twisting her words advocating for Palestinian freedom, justice, and equality. How will we ever achieve peace among Palestinians and Israelis if we attack each other? Enough. We must support human rights for ALL.”

Newman (D-IL-3) 09/22/2022: Tweet – “As a proud wife of a proud Jewish man, I'm deeply disappointed by those twisting @RashidaTlaib words. At no point did she say Israel should not exist. NOWHERE. She and I support freedom and prosperity for the Palestinians & Israelis. That is progressive. Rashida Tlaib: 'You cannot hold progressive values and back Israel'... | jpost.com”

Schneider (D-IL-10) 09/21/2022: Twitter thread – “I echo my colleagues. We can't let narrow perspectives distract us from the simple truth: you can be a stalwart supporter of Israel – as a Jewish, democratic state – and be a principled progressive. Claiming otherwise is a crude litmus test and false choice meant to divide us. Link to quoted tweetThat's right, Chairman Nadler. And remember, there are progressive activists, progressive students, and progressive Members of Congress whose support of democratic Israel is fundamentally a part of their progressive values. They all belong at the table. We will not be silenced. (Link to twitter.com) And we should celebrate that Israel, though not perfect, embodies progressive values every day. A free press, equality for women and the LGBT, an independent judiciary, respect for freedom of religion—all progressive values for which Israel is a shining example in the region.”

Vargas (D-CA-51) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “It's not progressive to advocate for the end of Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State.   It's not progressive to oppose the life-saving Iron Dome.   Supporting the only democratic state in the Middle East IS progressive.

Wasserman Schultz (D-FL-23) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “The outrageous progressive litmus test on Israel by @RashidaTlaib is nothing short of antisemitic. Proud progressives do support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state. Suggesting otherwise is shameful and dangerous. Divisive rhetoric does not lead to peace.”

Iran

Bacon (R-NE-2) 09/21/2022: Tweet – “Congress should be pushing for a strong US deterrence strategy against #Iran by: ✅Imposing clear consequences for further Iranian nuclear enrichment and weaponization advances ✅Boosting partner capabilities and regional military cooperation ✅Codifying the existing sanctions”

Cruz (R-TX) 09/21/2022: Retweet of @EliLake – “Supporting the Iranian people means taking no for an answer in Vienna.

Our real allies are in the streets defacing posters of the Ayatollah and burning Hijabs Link to quoted tweet”

DesJarlais (R-TN-4) 09/21/2022: Twitter thread – “President Biden's speech today at the United Nations was merely words. For the past 2 years he has weakened our national security, opened our border to foreign terrorists, botched a deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, & made it clear to our adversaries the US can be walked over. (1/3) Leader Schumer has also stalled bringing the NDAA to the Senate floor. Why does the Democratic leadership not think funding our military is a priority despite increasing hostility from our adversaries? (2/3) It is past time for the President to get serious about the threats that China, Russia and Iran pose to this nation by supporting the bolstering of our national defense and closing our southern border.

Leahy (D-VT) 09/22/2022: Twitter thread – “Wedn. I attended #UNGA77 as a Senate Delegate & listened to Iran's Pres. Raisi claim his govt. is a model for justice. All while children are being shot by his ‘morality police' for peacefully protesting. Actions speak louder than words. I stand w/ those who are #WalkingUnveiled.

Steube (R-FL-17) 09/22/2022: Tweet – “Biden shouldn't have allowed Raisi on American soil. The Iranian government continues to back state-sponsored terrorism and violates human rights.

The death of Mahsa Amini has mobilized thousands in support of basic human rights & self-determination. Their bravery is inspiring. Comms is critical to amplification, but big tech has a record of appeasing the Iranian regime and censoring content. I also urge @USTreasury @SecYellen to work with providers to help facilitate internet connections to those protesting the regime. #Iranianrevolution”
