1. Bills, Resolutions & Letters

(FY23 NDAA/OMNIBUS AUTHORIZATIONS) HR 7900: This week the Senate began getting set to take up HR 7900, the FY23 NDAA (which includes various other authorization bills). As readers of the Round-Up know, every year the annual National Defense Authorization bill (NDAA) is an occasion – in both the House and Senate — for members to submit many, many, many, many (etc) amendments (see the Round-Up’s tracking of amendments offered in the House to the FY23).  Many of these amendments have nothing to do with the underlying bill. All of them reflect pet issues/initiatives of various members of Congress, including with respect to the Middle East. As such, regardless of whether the amendments are ever voted on, they are worth paying attention to, offering a valuable window into the intentions/plans/aspirations of lawmakers.

To view/track the many, many Middle East-related amendments offered in the Senate to HR 7900, please check out this handy-dandy table I’ve put together and will be updating as the NDAA process moves forward.

(META-IRAN COLLUSION?) Cotton letter to Zuckerberg: On 9/28/22, Sen. Cotton (R-IN) sent a letter to META CEO Mark Zuckerberg raising concerns that META may be cooperating with Iran in suppressing dissent from the Iranian people. Cotton writes: “News reports indicate that at least one of your company’s subsidiaries, Instagram, may have removed documentation of the Iranian regime’s vicious attempts to crush recent peaceful protests. This is particularly concerning given prior allegations that Iran attempted to bribe your content moderators to remove accounts that challenged or criticized the Iranian regime.” Cotton asks Zuckerberg to answer a list of questions related to these allegation (to which Cotton says he looks forward to Zuckerberg’s  “prompt and detailed responses” (notwithstanding the fact that Cotton has no legal authority to demand answers from Zuckerberg, and Zuckerberg has no legal obligation to respond). Also see Cotton press release.

(TARGETING ESG VIA INVOKING BDS) Cruz Blackburn letter to Secretary of Commerce: On 9/28/22, Sens. Cruz (R-TX) and Blackburn (R-TN) sent a letter to Secretary of Commerce Raimondo alleging, “Advocates of economic warfare against Israel have increasingly sought to use ESG criteria as pretexts for boycott advocacy. Companies that rely on ESG ratings in their business decisions have minimal transparency into the details let alone motivations behind how the ratings were set. The practice introduces exposure to American anti-boycott laws along the entire chain, and most acutely for the firms opaquely designing and setting the ESG criteria” and “We are concerned that… the Commerce Department is not sufficiently engaging Morningstar and similar companies. The ratings and implicit advocacy from Sustainanalytics come remarkably close to blackletter violations of prohibitions described at the federal level by the EAR and in laws of states such as Texas. The Commerce Department, both generally and as the agency housing the Office of Antiboycott Compliance, is charged with ensuring American companies are aware of these risks and working with them to mitigate and end any exposure. It is also charged with insuring [sic] the integrity of those federal prohibitions, as necessary.” Also see:

(TARGETING “WOKE” UNIVERSITIES) Comer-Foxx letter to Education Secretary Comer: On 9/28/22, Reps. Comer (R-KY) and Foxx (R-NC) sent a letter informing Secretary of Education Comer that the are “conducting oversight over the U.S. Department of Education’s (the Department) administration of taxpayers’ dollars awarded to public and private colleges and universities under various federal programs. Specifically, we are concerned many of these colleges and universities are undermining free speech and academic freedom on their campuses. Despite this problem, the Department does not seem to be engaged in promoting the free exchange of ideas within our colleges and universities…” The 5-page letter goes on to offer arguments and supposed evidence of the alleged problem — focused entirely on cases of alleged undermining of right-wing speech and alleged tolerance of left-wing speech. It also enumerates US government funding for universities and concludes, “For this reason, these institutions of higher learning should be havens of free speech.Instead, school administrators are undermining the very purpose of their institutions. The proliferation of cancel culture in American higher education threatens the ability of students and faculty to push themselves past their academic limits. The Department should be signaling to these institutions that academic freedom is paramount for the success of students, faculty, and society, and should help them see that limiting free speech is counter to the intellectual goals of academia.” It closes with: “To assist Committee Republicans in conducting important oversight of the Department’s administration of funds for higher education, including what the Department is doing to promote free speech and academic freedom, we request a staff-level briefing as soon as possible, but no later than October 5, 2022.” NOTE: The letter’s authors — in their robust defense of academic and free speech — neglect to mention whether this includs free speech on campus critical of Israel and/or in support of Palestinian rights… Also see: House Republicans Launch Probe Into Education Department’s Funding of Woke Universities (Free Beacon 9/28/22)

(TARGETING OBERLIN/IRANIAN PROFESSOR) Banks-Foxx letter to Oberlin Administration (letter text included at the bottom of the Fox News article): On 9/28, Reps. Foxx (R-NC) and Banks (R-IN) sent a letter to Oberlin University’s president and vice president expressing “concern regarding Mohammad Jafar Mahallati, a Professor of Religion and a Presidential Scholar in Islamic Studies at Oberlin College.” The letter references Mahallati’s “well-documented involvement in human rights abuses while part of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran” as well as his alleged “continued support for Iran’s tyrannical regime” while at Oberlin. The letter goes on to attack Oberlin’s “apparent decision to whitewash Mr. Mahallati’s actions” and concludes that this alleged decision raises “serious questions about the ideals of Oberlin college and its willingness to allow foreign interference on its campus.” The letter goes on to direct Oberlin to provide answers — within 2 weeks of the date of the letter — to a list of highly invasive questions related to this specific professor and his courses, as well as Oberlin’s internal hiring/vetting practices in general (notably: Foxx and Banks have no legal authority to demand answers on anything from Oberlin, and Oberlin has no legal obligation to respond). Also see:

(PROSECUTE IRANIAN PRESIDENT) Scott letter to POTUS: On 9/23/22, Sen. Scott (R-FL) sent a letter to President Biden condemning the Biden Administration for issuing a visa to allow the Iranian president to attend the UN General Assembly in New York, and, once Raisi arrived in the US, failing to take the opportunity to arrest the Iranian president and put him on trial in the US. Scott wrote: “…your administration ignored the wishes of so many Americans and allowed Raisi entrance to America and a stage to spread his lies to the world. You could have arrested him and held him accountable for his abuses, but you looked the other way. When you could have stood up for security and freedom, and prosecuted Raisi for his crimes, you floundered. Fortunately, it is not too late to reverse course and deliver justice to all those he has wronged. The protests in Iran are continuing, and the Iranian people are standing up for civil liberties and basic rights. The regime continues to support terrorist cells throughout the world, destabilize the region, threaten our ally, Israel, and do harm to Americans. Raisi is a danger to us all. I urge you to use the powers of the Department of Justice to prosecute Raisi and bring him to justice for his crimes.” Also see Scott press release.

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who has repeatedly faced condemnation and accusations of antisemitism from her Democratic colleagues, most recently over her comment that support for ‘Israel’s apartheid government’ is incompatible with ‘progressive values.’ ‘I think it was a deeply antisemitic and uninformed comment,’ Manning said. ‘I don’t think she understands what the true nature of Israel is.’”]

Based on what? It’s just a campaign, a political campaign against the State of Israel, and some people here in the U.S. acted on that campaign,’ said Herzog. ‘To those who are not motivated by any anti-Israel political motivation, we are ready to answer any question they may have.’’”]
