Neither Palestinians nor Israelis will be safe until Hamas fulfills its commitment to disarm. 2/2

Congressman Brad Sherman @repbradsherman.bsky.social · 20h

Hamas is responsible for the death and devastation seen in Gaza today—whether through its brutal executions of Palestinian dissidents this week or the two years of war that Hamas needlessly began on October 7 and prolonged by refusing to release the hostages or disarm until now. 1/2

New York Post @nypost.com · 1d

Hamas carries out public executions just hours after signing peace treaty with Israel

The graphic footage shows eight badly beaten, blindfolded men kneeling in the street before each is shot dead by Hamas gunmen in front of a cheering crowd.

But I also mourn and remember those who were killed by Hamas in captivity and are coming home in caskets, whose families were robbed of this reunion. 28 lives needlessly cut short by Hamas’s brutality. (2/2)

Argentina has taken over our soybean markets at the expense of America’s farmers. Yet, President Trump is rewarding Argentina with a $20 billion bailout.

How is that America First?

American farmers are an afterthought for Trump in his tariff war, which doesn't seem to be based on much thought at all.

My thoughts are with the hostages and their family members this evening, as we pray for their safe return.

Among them, please God, is Rom Braslavski, whose family in the San Fernando Valley movingly described to me the unimaginable pain of the past two years. Healing cannot begin soon enough.

Congressman Brad Sherman @repbradsherman.bsky.social · Aug 20

Today I met with my constituent Anat Benmenahem, aunt of Rom Braslavski, an innocent civilian held hostage in Gaza since #October7 by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists. She spoke about the heartbreak of seeing him exploited in last month’s horrific propaganda video. 1/2
