“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.
Under Biden, our leaders had the capacity to preempt the genocide, remove the Netanyahu government from power, and establish a full sovereign Palestinian state.
This is very dangerous. And it’s definitely bringing more attention to a horror show that’s fallen out of the public eye. But it’s a far cry from what the party needs to be doing
That just sounds like more of the same. I want us to stop spending money on war in the middle east entirely. No more world police bullshit.
If we stopped giving Israel money they would either figure out how to make peace with their neighbors or they’d be attacked by them. Either way the Palestine issue would be solved.
I don’t the US will stop meddling any time soon, but it’d be nice
