Let's not lose our grip on the facts - instead of recriminations and accusations - just the facts.
1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel - this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer.
He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
2) He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists, and, for some reason, @nytimes journalists with cameras at the ready. With him was also a person affiliated with @jstreet, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill.
3) Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered what was believed to be a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there, due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the congressman, or any member of his party, threatened by the soldiers, or civilians bearing arms.
4) To add insult to injury - the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout "genocide" and "apartheid" libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy.
The facts don't lie - this was a cheap, anticipated provocation, that could, and should have been avoided.
5) Calling me a liar won’t change the facts. I’d be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.
@fi_virginia2 Haha… Lindsay wasn’t Gray or Mattis. Look I don’t care if he was gay or not. But it’s generally accepted that he was. By the way, one can be a forever warrior and gay.
After what Trump did after he lost the 2020 election - refusing to accept the results, lying about a “stolen” election, then trying to overthrow the election - if you don’t believe he’s currently attacking the 2026 midterms & will try to fuck with the midterms elections process, shame on you. If you don’t believe he’s going to use ICE & the military to intimidate people from voting, shame on you. If you don’t believe he’ll refuse to accept the results & scream “stolen election” again if the GOP loses in Nov, shame on you. And btw, if you don’t believe he’ll try to run again in 2028 and/or refuse to leave the White House in Jan, 2029, shame on you. Wake the fuck up.
BREAKING: the clock struck midnight and our bipartisan housing bill is now law.
Trump refused to sign it, but he couldn't stop it.
This law is GROUNDBREAKING.
It will build more housing, bring down costs, and for the first time, stop private equity from buying up homes.
In New York! The arrogance of coming America and not only refusing to assimilate, but demanding that Americans assimilate to YOU. If you don’t like people walking dogs, get out.
Predicador islámico: “Cuando los musulmanes se conviertan en mayoría en Occidente dentro de 40 años, los no musulmanes tendrán que convertirse, pagar la jizya o morir, porque la sharia rige.”
¿Te quedó claro o necesitas que te haga un dibujito?
@fi_virginia2 I bet this is the tip of the iceberg. No doubt foreign governments/intelligence have offered enticing amounts of money to congressional staffers.
Mamdani's Culturally enriched New York 🗽🇺🇸 where you can't walk your dog because it happens obviously that they hate dogs.
Look at their courage, how they become dominant over the Americans.
If you don't do something now, you will regret it tomorrow. Mamdani has no place in US.
If all other aspects of Gaza were the same, but Israel was a hypothetical Arab state fighting other Arabs in Gaza, literally nobody in the West would give a shit.
Barely a peep when Assad gassed his own people or HTS slaughtered the Druze.
That tells you all you need to know.
Wow Holland must be super proud. 😐
Moroccans in the Netherlands blamed “Jews” for their World Cup loss and gathered outside a place they thought Israeli tourists were staying chanting
“All Jews are fags! Hamas! Hamas! Send the Jews back to the gas chambers!”
