(CONFLATING CRITICISM OF ISRAEL WITH ANTISEMITISM) S. Res. 837 [text not available at the time of publication of this Round-Up — will cover this again next week]: Introduced 11/17/22 by Scott (R-SC), “A resolution recognizing Israeli-American culture and heritage, the contributions of the Israeli-American community to the United States, and condemning antisemitic violence and discrimination.” Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Letters

(DETER IRANIAN ATTACKS ON US INTERESTS IN IRAQ) Reschenthaler-Waltz letter to Austin & Blinken: On 11/17/22, Reps.Reschenthaler (R-PA) and Waltz (R-FL) sent a letter to SecDef Austin and SecState, “regarding the Iranian regime’s recent ballistic missile and armed drone attacks against U.S. interests in Iraq.” [Note: the press releases says they “led” a letter but makes no mention of other signers, and the PDF of the signed letter includes only Reschenthaler and Waltz as signers]. The letter strongly urges the Biden Administration to “act swiftly in order to deter future attacks and protect U.S. personnel operating in the region,” and closes with the (very poorly written) warning: “Without responding to these provocations, we risk additional threats to our warfighters, diplomats, and civilians in the region.”

(NO RETURN TO IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS) Mullin et al letter to Blinken: On 11/14/22, Rep. Mullin (R-OK) and 5 Republicans colleagues sent a letter to SecState Blinken making the case that, “…We cannot return to negotiations with a regime that has made it perfectly clear they will do anything, including murder their own citizens in cold blood, to stay in power…” The letter concludes: “The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was dead on arrival” and also that “The time for negotiations has passed, we must close the door on the Iran Nuclear Deal.” Also see Mullin’s Twitter thread: “Today I led five of my @HouseGOP colleagues in sending a letter to Secretary Blinken, urging him to close the door on an Iran Deal 2.0. The time for negotiations has passed. We cannot return to negotiations with a regime that has made it clear they will do anything to stay in power. To condemn the regime with one voice and negotiate with another project weakness and lack of moral fiber.”

(TARGETING PALESTINIANS AT THE UN) Lamborn-Smith-Chabot letter to Blinken: On 11/3/22 (not previously covered in the Round-Up), Reps. Lamborn (R-CO), Smith (R-NJ) and Chabot (R-OH) sent a letter to SecState Blinken urging the Biden Administration to make the “retiring” of two Palestinian-focused UN bodies — the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP), and the Division for Palestinian Rights (DPR) — a U.S. diplomatic priority, and  “to urgently press other countries with whom we cooperate” to join the U.S. in voting against annual UN resolutions that approve their continued functioning and activities. The letter alleges: “These two money-wasting institutions do nothing to advance the cause of peace and, on the contrary, represent a significant obstacle to reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. There is no parallel in the UN system to these unique, nefarious bodies. The Committee organizes anti-Israel conferences around the world and disseminates large quantities of propaganda material which delegitimizes the State of Israel. Among other things, it explicitly endorses the so-called ‘right of return’ for over five million descendants of 1948 Palestinian refugees, a scenario which, if implemented, would alter the demographic nature of Israel and cause the end of Israel itself as a Jewish state.”
