Why don’t you do something your constituents care about instead of nonsense bills to just ingratiate yourselves even further to your AIPAC masters???.
The term "Globalize the Intifada" is not open to interpretation, it's a call for violence against the Jewish and Israeli people. That's why @RepJoshG and I introduced a bipartisan resolution to unequivocally condemn it. Hate speech of any kind has no place in America.

Yes! I agree with @RepMTG on this. Stop sending our money to fuel foreign wars.
I’ve introduced amendments to strip billions in foreign aid from the Defense Appropriations Bill. America is $37 TRILLION in debt. Our people are broke and cannot afford the cost of living. Congress sends your money to every foreign war and foreign country like it’s their job.

So wonderful that 20 students from Mississippi joined us at @codepink today to push Congress to stop arming Israel.

With all respect, @Pontifex, why not name the country, Israel, that carried out this attack and so many others against Christians in Gaza and the West Bank???.
I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for.

This is probably the first good thing that @GovMikeHuckabee has done re Israel/Palestine in his entire career!.
I have asked @Israel to aggressively investigate the murder of Saif Mussallet, an American citizen who was visiting family in Sinjil when he was beaten to death. There must be accountability for this criminal and terrorist act. Saif was just 20 yrs old.

And @LindseyGrahamSC, what about using US influence to stop Israel's barbaric war machine that is "out of bounds in the 21st century"? Why the double standard? Racism, perhaps?.
With all due respect to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian, your country’s decision to continuously buy cheap Russian oil to benefit its economy and prop up Putin’s barbaric war machine is out of bounds in the 21st century. We all seek a better relationship with China.
