“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.
A theological ethno state will always lead to this. Diversity is the only thing holding America together.
Detained is a polite way to say it.
Actually. It’s really quite rude. Rude to Ro Khanna. Rude to us. Rude to everyone who gives a damn about the truth. Rude and downright offensive.
The only people this is “polite” to are the settlers and genocidal maniacs.
