Israel - Palestine

Bacon (R-NE-2) 03/27/2023: Retweet of @AIPAC – “Don't look away. This is a member of Congress promoting a dangerous, anti-Israel lie that incites further conflict and violence. Even after proven false, she still hasn't taken down her post. Why is @RashidaTlaib adding fuel to the fire instead of calling for calm and peace? Link to quoted tweet”

Bacon (R-NE-2) 03/27/2023: Retweet of @JGreenblattADL – “The Passover massacre was the deadliest attack against Israelis during the violent Second Intifada. 11 of the 30 victims that night were Holocaust survivors.

Crow (D-CO-6) 03/27/2023: Twitter thread – “National security must always be rooted in democratic ideals and independent institutions. That's why I'm deeply concerned by the proposed judicial overhaul and subsequent firing of Israeli Defense Minister Gallant over the weekend. Moving forward with this legislation would erode Israel's democracy and further undermine our collective security. The Israeli people have taken to the streets in overwhelming numbers, showing a clear lack of support. PM Netanyahu should permanently halt the proposed changes not just because Israel is a close ally and partner but because proceeding would be a severe blow to its democracy.”

Gottheimer (D-NJ-5) 03/28/2023: Twitter thread – “As I get ready to celebrate #Passover with my family, it was wonderful to visit Rabbi Mordechai Kanelsky and Rabbi Mendel Zaltzman at Bris Avrohom of Fair Lawn to help distribute hand-baked Matzah from Israel to CETT Hebrew School children.

Jackson (R-TX-13) 03/27/2023: Tweet – “The reports that Biden's State Department is directly and indirectly aiding, assisting, & leading the protests in Israel should concern EVERY American.

Lee (D-CA-12) 03/28/2023: Tweet – “Encouraged by reports that PM Netanyahu is backing away from the divisive judicial legislation recently proposed.  All who support peace should stand with Israelis speaking out to defend democracy and inclusion.

Meeks (D-NY-5) 03/27/2023: Twitter thread – “RM @RepGregoryMeeks: I welcome Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's pause of legislation that would radically change Israel's judicial system and encourage the PM to find common ground and a productive way forward. #Israel faces enormous national security challenges and it must remain focused and united. It can ill afford the self inflicted wounds we have watched unfold in recent days.”

Phillips (D-MN-3) 03/27/2023: Tweet – “As we've seen in Israel this week, democracy doesn't prevent discord, rather it provides a non-violent mechanism to mobilize, peacefully protest, and affect the will of the people without fear of being shot or imprisoned. The essence of freedom and self-determination.”

I'll bet Israel thought the rightwing wasn't serious until now........ wake up. @MikeNP40 @WisRight_Ls @DanKnodlforWI Someone needs less caffeine.”

Schneider (D-IL-10) 03/27/2023: Twitter thread – “Prime Minister Netanyahu's announced pause of legislation to reform Israel's judiciary is a promising and welcome step that hopefully will create space for all parties to come together and find common ground. As a life-long, committed supporter of Israel and with Passover approaching, I pray all sides will use the time to reflect on the ties that have bound the Jewish nation since time immemorial. In that spirit, I hope for fair and open negotiations towards a resolution that is broadly acceptable across Israeli society. I commend President Herzog for his tireless work to bring the sides together, Prime Minister Netanyahu for announcing a pause, and all the leaders in Israel committed to coming to the table and working together to build consensus, confront extremism and advance democracy. May the people and nation of Israel stay strong and safe. And may the unique, strategic bonds between the U.S. and Israel—a relationship forged in our mutual commitment to democracy—continue to deepen and grow.”

Welch (D-VT) 03/27/2023: Tweet – “The future of Israel as a democratic state is at an inflection point. The Israeli people have made their voices heard to preserve democracy.
