Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention. They made a huge mistake. You will be hearing more soon. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/…




Ridiculous headline from @nytimes about a U.S. Congressman getting detained by ARMED Israeli militants. The subhead sounds like they’re criticizing him for being there instead of the illegal OCCUPIERS.

Together with a CNN crew, we were attacked by Israeli settlers during a visit to Sinjil, West Bank🇵🇸. They smashed our windshield, pelted our car with stones, and tried to slash our tire.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Lebanon: I said that Southern Lebanon would become Gaza. We would apply the Rafah model. We would destroy everything there. We would deal with them in exactly that way. And that is what we did. The infrastructure has been destroyed. Homes in 24 villages along the border—villages that had existed for hundreds of years and were used by Hezbollah as military outposts against Israel—have been demolished. The army systematically flattened the villages with bulldozers and explosives. Ninety percent of the houses are gone. Between 15,000 and 20,000 homes have been destroyed.

Why is Ro Khanna in the West Bank? I thought he represented Americans, not Palestinians.
