“We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it,” said Khanna, a progressive lawmaker from California in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun – and they detain us. They block off the road. And then they call the IDF and the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans,” Khanna said, referring to the Israeli military.
An aide to Khanna who was in the group, Cameron Kasky, said they were held for more than an hour and made appeals to the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem for help. A group of officers who appeared to be police eventually intervened, leading to their release, Kasky said.
DEMOCRATS DIVIDED OVER ISRAELI CONDUCT
Ah, so support must be like 50/50, huh?
Israel’s favorability rating among Democrats fell from 59% in 2018 to 22% in May, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.
Hm. Not that divided, eh?
Kidnapped. I hope this make him understand that iran should have to right to missiles to defend itself against a terrorist state like israel
Nooo he wasn’t “abducted by terrorists”!
He was “detained by hoodlums”!
I hope it makes his stop taking Zionist money and making Zionist votes. In fact, now that I think about it, how do we know this is true and not staged?

Because for settler terrorists it is not enough to talk about israel right to defend itself bullshit. You have to back up ethnic cleansing and genocide
I thought Ro Khanna was pretty good on Israel :(
He stopped taking naked aipac money and is now taking it from a superpac that hides it.
Yeah I looked into it, he’s a self proclaimed Zionist 🤦
Yep. That was less than a year ago.
Oof ouch owie
And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun
An American designed machine gun. Cerro Forge probably did make the upper, but it was all put together by most likely IWI, they also sell IWI “Zion 15” rifles (yes that is what they brand their AR15s as, so cringe) to the US commercial market.
