Israel - Palestine
García (D-IL-4) 04/17/2023: Tweet – “The U.S. must do everything in its power to promote peace, and that includes making sure our military aid is not used to violate human rights in Palestine. Link to quoted tweet.@SenSanders and I sent a letter to @POTUS and @SecBlinken on the escalating violence in Palestine and the alarming actions of the new extreme right-wing Israeli government. To achieve peace, we must ensure U.S. funding is not used to violate human rights. (Link to twitter.com)”
Gottheimer (D-NJ-5) 04/17/2023: Twitter thread – “I've known my good friend, Leader @RepJeffries, for nearly a decade, and I can personally attest American Jews and Israel are lucky to have him as an unflinching supporter and champion. In Congress, Hakeem has been an unwavering voice against antisemitism and hate. He has been a staunch advocate of the U.S.-Israel relationship. And, beyond that, he is a man of deep integrity. Anyone who has a question about Hakeem's character, commitment to American Jews, or to Israel is welcome to call me.”
McGovern (D-MA-2) 04/16/2023: Tweet – “Thank you @JstreetU students at @UMassAmherst for today's important conversation about how we can continue urging U.S. support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict & stand up against all efforts to undermine democracy. Link to image”

Lebanon
Landsman (D-OH-1) 04/17/2023: Twitter thread – “As we hit our first 100 days, we're even more committed to being a new type of national leader: fully transparent and accountable, highly reliable and bipartisan. A quick recap of what that looks like from your new member of Congress. Link to image For too long, we didn't have the kind of congressional leadership that was focused entirely on improving the lives & communities of people at home. Every single day, our team is determined to support, lift up, and improve the lives of children and families across Southwest Ohio. In our first 100 days, we've gotten a lot accomplished – but it's just the beginning. As a bipartisan leader, we've voted and cosponsored more than a dozen bipartisan bills and measures & joined the Problem Solvers Caucus - a group of 30 Democrats and 30 Republicans. We continue to build strong partnerships with folks across political ideologies, in DC & at home. To be highly reliable, we've formed a diverse, regional leadership team to inform and help shape the priorities and work of our office. We selected 15 local community project funding applications to advance in the process to receive federal funding. As a transparent leader, we've already held five in-person town halls – hearing from hundreds of constituents. We explain every big vote: where we landed & why. We've done dozens of site visits and tours, stopping by small businesses, big district employers, schools, and more. And as a fully accountable leader, our team has focused our bills on what matters most to folks at home. We introduced a bill to cap the cost of insulin for every child. We're working on bills to improve public safety, expand the Earned Income Tax Credit, and renew the Expanded Child Tax Credit. We're getting better and better at supporting folks who reach out for help. Our office has already resolved more than 300 constituent cases. We work for you. Reach out to us. Cincinnati: 513-810-7988 Lebanon: 513-409-6188 DC: 202-225-2216 We're here to help.”

He's been charged with serious national security crimes. But to the GOP, as long as he's against Biden, he's one of them. Link to quoted tweetJake Teixeira is white, male, christian, and antiwar.

Afghanistan
Bacon (R-NE-2) 04/16/2023: In reply to Tweet@HugoKress @DonJBacon @DavidHuffmanGen Oh, was Trump Commander in Chief? Did he promise Americans that the Taliban would not take over the country? Did he give the order to abandon Bagram? Did he leave 100,000+ SIV's and their families? Did he leave $7 billion + of military equipment in Afghanistan? – “@toottootchoo @HugoKress @DavidHuffmanGen The Administration tries to have it both ways… no chaos, no regrets, great operation but… it was all Trump's fault. Most Americans see through the BS.”
