During a recent visit to the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Congressman Ro Khanna accused the Israeli government and military of lying about his detention by armed settlers and Israeli soldiers. Video evidence showed Khanna’s convoy being blocked by settlers and soldiers, a situation he described as settlers threatening American citizens. The Israeli military initially claimed they dispersed the civilians, but Khanna stated they further detained him and his group, asserting the soldiers sided with the settlers. Israel’s ambassador later accused Khanna of staging the visit for political gain, a claim Khanna refuted by reiterating that the Israeli government is covering up the IDF’s complicity.

Democratic lawmaker Ro Khanna reported being detained by Israeli settlers armed with US-made M4 rifles during a visit to the West Bank, an experience he described as an unfiltered look at the human toll of Israeli occupation. His group’s van was surrounded while observing a village previously destroyed by settlers, with Khanna asserting that Israeli forces sided with the settlers rather than intervening on behalf of the Americans. The Israeli military confirmed intervention by troops and police who dispersed the settlers and allowed vehicles to proceed. This incident occurs as Israeli conduct toward Palestinians increasingly divides Democrats and influences political discourse ahead of US elections.

“I will miss them”: Khanna mocks tech billionaires threatening to leave California for wealth tax – the sentiment is one of amused defiance, a clear-eyed understanding that the threats are likely bluster, and a willingness to call the bluff. It’s a sentiment that resonates with many, a frustration at the perceived arrogance of those who wield immense wealth and leverage it for their own benefit, often at the expense of the society that allows them to thrive.
The common thread throughout the discussion centers on the fact that these threats to leave are a familiar refrain. Reminiscent of the “they were supposed to leave New York 15 years ago” anecdote, the consensus is that the departure of these tech titans is highly improbable.… Continue reading
