“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.

Israeli settlers are the worst people on this planet.
I fucking wish Iran would flatten every single Israeli settlement.
Settlers isn’t correct though, more like Israeli raiders. Israeders, if you will.
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.
It’s not propaganda though? “Settler-Colonialism” is the term for what Israel is doing.
In The Wretched of The Earth by Frantz Fanon, essentially the ur text about anti-colonial movements, he regularly refers to settlers in a negative light.

Do you understand how far detached this is from the average American?
You’re right, Americans are all illiterate, and cower in fear, if you show them a book
So you don’t. Step outside your college educated bubble and talk to an average working class person.
Even worse happened to those flotilla activists, who wanted to bring aid and food to palestinians, and then u get raped and tortured by IDF, and trump protects the rape and torture from european sanctions ofcourse… sad world, good this representative is checking it and showing people what happends when u wanna show an objective truth… IDF hates the objective truth, cause they need false narratives for them to have a fake reason to use violence, smh
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.
Headlines these days are annoying as hell! Constantly using words like SLAMMED, DESTROYED, HUMILIATED, SHOCKED etc. Always passive aggressive AF.
It reminds me of the I opening scene in Space Oddesey 2001. Humans create tools that make life easier, tools then become weapons to go to war against humanity itself.
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.
If anyone ever calls you anti Semitic for criticizing Zionists, just tell them you have nothing at all against Akkadians, Phoenicians, Arabs, Hebrews, and Ethiopians who don’t espouse genocidal ideologies.
More like because Zionists enact US foreign policy and make it possible for western imperialism to destabilize the Middle East, which would otherwise oppose imperial interests. Israel is the puppet, not the US.
Not surprised, especially from an apartheid state.
