“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.
Stop using the word “settlers”. It’s a propaganda term meant to invoke an image of unclaimed, unoccupied territory.
They’re burglars, robbers, and invaders. That’s what you’d call someone who came to your house, stole your shit, and said it was theirs.
“Settler” is the word used to protect them.
US Congressman KIDNAPPED by Israeli supported terrorists in the West Bank.
God I hate these fucking passive language titles that are only ever used to describe Israeli’s crimes.
Why the fuck do we tolerate this?
Would it be acceptable for a fucking Mexican Cartel to kidnap congressmen who go to the border on a fact-finding trip?
Because Zionists have money and sway in American politics.
And they have the bullshit accusation of anti Semitism to stop anyone talking about it.
This is what I expect our leaders to do. People with far less privilege have been putting their lives on the line while congressional chuckle fucks write stern letters.
I don’t agree with all his positions, and he does take a lot of money from big tech, but his heart is absolutely in the right place. He is a real public servant.
Zionist detained by Zionist is pretty funny, NGL. 😂
“If you’re unwilling to speak up for Palestinian human rights, if you’re unwilling to speak up against the genocide in Gaza, the apartheid in the West Bank, then you are morally compromised,” Khanna said.
Ah yes, classic Zionist rhetoric
He stopped taking naked aipac money and is now taking it from a superpac that hides it.
Specific names and amounts?
All you’re going to get is links that mean nothing and a promise to provide evidence later.
OP is a liar and IDK why you’re bothering to engage.
Unless someone has really caught my attention I usually don’t pay attention to or remember usernames tbh
Op has a life with other things to do than argue with infantile minds who can do an iota of critical thinking or reading. Ftfy
Can’t* ftfy

This is one. superpac that hides… I’ll look later, if .world mods haven’t removed it.
You’ve shown they have a page for other people to donate money to him, not the PAC itself, and not how much he’s received. I’ll wait for actual evidence.
You are disingenuous. A Zionist org support Khanna. Why?
Go ask them. Maybe they can also give you those numbers you swore you were looking up.
Yes, classic liberal Zionist rhetoric.
Is the Democratic Party no longer a pro Israel party?
We’re a party that believes in two states and peace. (…) Why aren’t we doing the Arab Peace Plan? Two states, you have a Palestinian state, which is demilitarized, and an Israeli state. That’s what we’re for, we should be for peace and we should be for justice in this region. (…) And yes, we need a secure Israel, but not an Israel led by Netanyahu, who killed 70.000 people in Gaza. (…) I’m for the Iron Dome technology, (…) I’m glad Israel has it.
He’s towing the party line, and the Democratic Party is very much a Zionist organisation. He doesn’t like the optics of the genocide, blames the current regime and complains about the lost support of the younger generation and that a foreign prime minister sits in the holy US-American situation room, as only US-American presidents decide which war crimes (in the name of the USA) are to be made. He what’s to reduce open pro Israel spending, as he’s advocating America First ideology.
He’s supporting the Zionist project. Stop coping.
Let them praise him. He doesn’t have to be an antizionist. He’s a symbol of antizionism here. That’s whats being praised.
Like, I have my criticisms of the “two state - right to exist” Liberals. But, what did you expect progress to look like comrade? The same Liberals that spent years talking about October 7th in every sentence and “right to defend itself”. Those liberals are being forced to acknowledge the crimes of Israel. This is a win. You’re making those that advocate for Palestinians look unreasonable and irrational.
I understand being upset at these libs. I understand why you still call him a Zionist. But, my friend, please, we have a long way to go still; criticizing a Congressman felt a fraction of a fraction of the oppression Palestinians feel every day in the West Bank. It’s not productive in this context. There are plenty of context to criticize him. The libs see this and dislike Israel. Just let that be the discussion.
Apartheid South Africa ended when the liberals of the West were finally forced by activist and leftist into performative things just like this. This is a good sign. Let it happen.
The liberals praising anything against Israel is good. We’re gonna have to cringe and bite our tongue when they treat Congressman as heroic for this. They are treating action against Israel as a positive. They are treating West Bank settlers as enemies. That’s amazing. Remember where we came from just three years ago; and where we are today. They’ll understand your current criticism one day. But this is not the context in which to educate them.
We could use more ‘Zionists’ that denounce genocide, apartheid, and go to Palestine to draw attention to the issue 🤷♂️ I’m not impressed by you trotting out the party position and blaming it on him personally, especially when he’s specifically calling out his own party in the article I guess you didn’t read. What has he said and done that’s Zionist?
This is why people don’t leave their abusers. They keep listening to what they say, instead of watching what they do.
Next up we’re gonna have my little boi Bernie telling us it’s wrong to own stolen land. Ehi ehi, why aren’t you clapping him?
