U.S. Representative Thomas Massie has a history of making controversial remarks and has voted repeatedly against continued U.S. security aid to Israel.
In December 2023, at the height of Israel’s war against Hamas, Rep. Massie shared a social media post implying that Congress was not interested in “American patriotism” but was interested in “Zionism.”
In October 2023, in the aftermath of the Hamas terror attack in Israel on October 7, Rep. Massie was the only Republican member that voted against congressional bipartisan non-binding resolution H. Res. 771. The resolution stated that the House of Representatives “stands with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists” and “reaffirms the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security” and it was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.
In May 2022, Rep. Massie was the only member of the House of Representatives, from both parties, to against a resolution honoring Jewish Americans’ heritage and denouncing a rise in antisemitic violence.
In September 2021, he was the sole Republican that voted against the Iron Dome Supplemental Appropriations Act, passed overwhelmingly in the U.S. House of Representatives, and that provided funding for replenishing Israel’s air defense system.
