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.
עברו שנה, אבל הכאב לא עבר. יש רגעים שהזמן לא מרפא. יש שמות שלא נשכחים, ויש סיפורים שחייבים להמשיך לספר.
היום אנחנו זוכרים את קורבנות הטבח בסווידא, משתתפים בצער המשפחות ומתפללים לימים של ביטחון, כבוד ושלום.
יהי זכרם ברוך. 🕊️
مرّت سنة… بس الوجع لسا موجود.
في قصص ما بتننسى، وفي ناس رح يضلوا بقلوبنا للأبد.
اليوم منترحم على ضحايا مجزرة السويدا، ومنشارك أهلهم حزنهم، ومنتمنى أيام فيها أمان وكرامة وسلام للجميع.
الله يرحمهم جميعًا
The cover up is worse than the crime now.
This video proves the police were told the victim was assaulted, and the female officer was told by a third party that she attacked him so quickly he thought she was an assailant.
She nods her head while being told he was assaulted first.
The entire department should be sacked. They intentionally lied about the situation to cover their incompetence.
1000 days ago, during the October 7 massacre, Hamas executed an 18-year-old girl in front of her entire family.
Then they dragged her father away, kidnapped him, and murdered him in captivity.
They filmed every second live... and proudly posted it for the world to see 💔
🚨🇬🇧 ATERRADOR: La policía británica arresta a un niño de 5 años que lloraba desconsoladamente mientras se llevaban a su padre.
La policía metió al niño, aterrorizado, en un coche y le roció gas pimienta.
¿Qué demonios está pasando en el Reino Unido?
🚨UK Police Threaten Arrest for “Future Crime” – Minority Report Comes to Britain
UK police officer threatens to arrest a man for peacefully filming in public, because his presence “might” wind people up and cause someone else to lose their temper.
This is straight-up Minority Report policing.
They’re not arresting him for any actual crime. They’re not even claiming he’s breaking the law. They’re saying: “We can arrest you to prevent a breach of the peace” meaning, we’re going to punish you in case some random person gets angry at your legal activity.
Think about that. If someone gets so wound up by a camera that they want to attack the person holding it, the rational response is to arrest the aggressor, not the person exercising their right to film in a public space.
How on earth can you justify detaining someone for something that hasn’t happened and might never happen? It flips justice on its head: the person minding their own business (and their rights) becomes the problem, while potential troublemakers get their feelings protected by the state.
Officers should be de-escalating and protecting lawful behaviour, not threatening people with arrest for hypothetical future crimes by others.
Absolutely disgraceful.
British Police threaten a man with arrest for tweets despite admitting he did NOT commit a crime
The Police officer says you don't have to "CROSS THE LINE" of legality
You just have to be "NEAR THE LINE"
WHAT?
The Police are out of control
More footage of the aftermath of a white lad being attacked by 3 non whites in Birmingham, police let the 3 attackers run off and arrested the white lad.
After handcuffing him, they tell him: “Walk to the fucking car, you dick!”
3 blacks attack a drunk white kid in Birmingham, the female police officer comes in to protect the violent blacks and arrest the white kid
Absolutely disgusting the way white people are treated in England (@KnockoutAudit)
