Rep. Brian Mast dons Israeli Army uniform to protest Rashida Talib’s Palestinian flag

Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) wore his Army uniform Friday to protest Rep. Rashida Talib (D-MI) displaying a Palestinian flag outside her office.

This comes after Hamas fired thousands of rockets and also sent dozens of fighters into Israel almost a week ago on Simchat Torah, a Jewish holiday celebrating the annual cycle of the Torah scroll reading. In light of the conflict between Hamas and Israel, some 2,900 have died, among them 27 American citizens. There are also more likely to be among the 150 taken hostage.

“As the only member to serve with both the United States Army and the Israel Defense Forces, I will always stand with Israel,” Mast wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Tlaib’s got her flag. I got my uniform. ‘Global Day of Rage’ my a**.”

Mast was referring to Hamas calling for a “day of rage” from its supporters in nearby countries. As a result, even departments across the United States have increased security.

Tlaib faces a resolution for her censorship and an appropriation amendment declaring that funds will not be used on any foreign flags for her display.

Meanwhile, Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) claimed a sign posted outside his Washington office declaring his support of Israel was stolen Thursday. According to Williams, the sign, which depicted the Israeli flag and read: “I stand with Israel,” disappeared sometime Wednesday night. He first posted a photo of the sign outside of his office in the Capitol earlier that day to X, formerly known as Twitter.

Mast is a veteran who is now a dozen years removed from having lost both of his legs while serving in Afghanistan.
