The @WSJ Editorial Board rightly asks "How is it a U.S. “value” to disarm an ally fighting against murderous enemies that fire rockets on civilian towns?"

"The vote by 103 House Democrats on Wednesday to block U.S. arms to Israel as it fights a multifront war is a shocking abandonment of an ally. It’s a sign of the rapid conquest of the Democratic Party by its anti-Israel wing...

Israel has violated no U.S. laws we know of. As for U.S. interests, Israel is fighting by the side of the U.S. against Iran and fighting alone against Iran’s proxies that have killed Americans. The defense relationship with Israel is a U.S. military advantage that helps maintain America’s technological edge over adversaries. When Democrats are voting to abandon even Iron Dome missile defense, this is self-sabotage out of anti-Israel animus.

It’s one thing to oppose Mr. Trump’s war on Iran, but it’s a far more radical step to cut loose a steadfast ally."

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Today, @StateDept is imposing new visa restrictions to bar Far-Left Terrorists from entering our country.

Foreigners who finance, incite, or aid and abet Far-Left Terrorists are enemies of our civilization. They are not welcome in the United States.

Just after JD Vance embarrassed himself and the administration for the 100th time.

Rubio drops one of the best speeches he’s ever done.

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

The fact that nearly half of House Democrats voted against U.S. aid to Israel speaks volumes about how quickly the party is being taken over by radical anti-Israel leftists. Where are the Democrats of conscience who stood with Israel for so many years?

More this guy talks more you realize he knows nothing about, he talks like a high school teenager and acts like one. Criticizing your stupidity doesn’t mean there is an organized paid campaign. You negotiated a MOU, how did that turn out jack?!

Ro Khanna staged a "detainment" in the West Bank, skipped coordination with Israel and the U.S. Embassy, drove into a closed military zone with cameras in tow, got briefly stopped, then cried to the press. Even his own team's footage undercuts his story.

[Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee]

The left-wing activist who set up this stunt says "The embassy is involved." That is NOT TRUE. We did NOT know a member of Congress was coming. We would have said don't go to restricted zone. As FACTS come out, it's not helping the desired narrative. Not "held at gunpoint."

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

Alas, Mr. Congressman, I'm not lying. And I started this line of questioning assuming you were telling the truth. I've written long essays on extremist Israeli violence in the West Bank. I know it happens. I was ready, at first glance, to believe it happened here. But it didn't. This wasn't Israeli violence. This was agitprop for your American audiences.

I said explicitly that I'm not familiar with the details of that area. It took a lot of effort for JPost to find out what it found out -- which was that it was a closed military zone only recently opened.

But if you'd coordinated your visit with Israeli authorities, this would have been sorted out from the start. Those soldiers weren't angry or aggressive, they seemed mostly just confused about the status of the area and how to handle your visit.

Because, you know, there was no coordination.

JPost suggests all that in the article you yourself shared.

And what of the violence? Your group had cameras -- a professional photographer and at least one bodycam -- yet you've produced no evidence that I've seen of the violence you claim to have experienced.

Remember that you claimed the violence was sufficient to demand that Netanyahu order the prosecution of those soldiers.

I've seen that sort of violence before; if you produce that footage, I'll join your demand for prosecution. That's not rhetoric. I really will, wholeheartedly.

But if you don't, I think it's safe to assume you blew up a small inconvenience caused by your own refusal to talk to Israelis.

In a similar vein, you used the word "detained" as if you were unlawfully held against your will -- and hide behind its second meaning, that you were a bit delayed in driving forward into the area. The first is on the spectrum of kidnapping crimes, the second is the sort of problem you'd encounter at the entrance to a federal building as you search your pockets for an ID. Which was it?

Anyway, you were angling for some domestic political brownie points, and congratulations, you got 'em.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

Wait, so Ro Khanna was never detained, he simply wasn’t allowed into a restricted area.

These are unprecedented levels of lying for a sitting US Congressman.

Fans of Argentina massively troll the Egyptian team by waving the Israel flag. Love to see it.
