## Resource

Congressman Ro Khanna recounts being held hostage for over an hour by Israeli settlers in the West Bank during a congressional delegation trip, with Israeli Defense Forces allegedly complicit by blocking his path. This alarming incident unfolds amid rising violence in the region, where over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since October, and settler attacks have surged. Human rights groups highlight systemic impunity, with fewer than 1% of soldier complaints against Palestinians resulting in indictments. Khanna’s experience underscores his growing criticism of Netanyahu’s government, now calling for an end to U.S. military aid and labeling Israel’s Gaza actions as genocide — a stark shift from his past pro-Israel stance.
