Ro Khanna Slams the IDF Amid Being Held at the West Bank: They’re Lying, What Happened Was Unprecedented

‘How dare they mistreat people with an American passport that way’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KHANNA: "The IDF is lying. What happened was unprecedented. They had violent settlers detain American citizens including an American government official. You had these settlers brandishing m4s, kicking the tires of our van, laughing at us, mocking us, videotaping us, we were detained for 20 minutes fearful of our lives. Then the IDF comes. Four soldiers and they tell our translator that they’re on the side of the settlers. They further detain us and block us in. We had to call the American embassy, fortunately, David brownstein helped and he got to someone in Israel and 75 minutes after the detention by the IDF soldiers and by these settlers we were let through. Now I heard the prime minister, and he said Israel is a country of law and order. Let me be very specific. The prime minister needs to open an investigation on these violent settlers who are connected to levy who has destroyed zanuda’s village and a known person that killed Palestinians and they need to be prosecuting levy and their outposts need to be investigated and he needs to have an investigation on the four IDF officers and security cameras could see they were involved in the detention of American citizens and how dare they mistreat people with an American passport that way."
