@Alonso_GD So if Hamas were to develop a massive missile/drone and launch it at the center of Tel Aviv, even if Israel saw it happening, and knew it would kill 1000s of civilians, you're saying by "int'l law" it would be illegal for Israel to strike the persons launching the rocket?
Something I missed when I first watched the video two days ago: they added English subtitles for everything except the very last part, where a member of the local security team says:
“The police have already come across you here, right, buddy? And what did they tell you? That you’re not allowed to be here, right? It’s a closed military zone. Right? You just don’t give a fuck about anyone, do you?”
Funny how that’s precisely the segment they chose not to translate into English.
Just an innocent coincidence, I’m sure.
The most remarkable thing about this footage is that it completely debunks the whole "detainment" narrative.
His body camera shows that nobody was "detained" - they were simply prevented from entering a closed military area, which he had previously been warned he could not
Former Defense Minister @AvigdorLiberman in the Knesset: "Who would have believed it would be easier to enlist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than the Haredim?"
Sums up the absurdity of the situation.
איך זה מתקבל על הדעת שיו״ר ועדת החינוך של הכנסת פורץ לבית ספר בירושלים המזרחית ומשחית אותו רק משום שיש בו דגל פלסטין?
תארו לעצמכם שיו״ר ועדת החינוך של כל מדינה אחרת היה נכנס לבית ספר יהודי ומשחית אותו רק משום שמונף בו דגל ישראל. העולם כולו היה מזדעזע. ובצדק!
בית ספר הוא מקום שבו ילדים אמורים ללמוד ולהתפתח, ולא זירת התפרעות של פוליטיקאים ונערי גבעות במצוקת קמפיין.
וכשאלה האנשים שאחראים על החינוך, כולנו משלמים את המחיר, גם הילדים שלכם, ולא רק הילדים שלומדים בבית הספר הזה.
@RoKhanna BREAKING NEWS: Congressman @RoKhanna accuses Pro Palestinian protesters of falsely imprisoning tens of thousands of people and of detaining thousands of Americans.
In June 2025, Hamas & PIJ operatives fired at the IDF from within crowds at GHF aid sites and, at times, at civilians. Local media blamed the IDF for attacking aid seekers, exaggerating incidents. Now Hamas & PIJ's own martyr notices are slowly corroborating the IDF's account:
🧵Israel consistently said Hamas & PIJ operatives dressed as civilians fired at the IDF and Gazans from GHF aid sites. After reports that only civilians were killed on June 1, 2025, PIJ now admits at least two of the dead were its commanders, corroborating the IDF's account. 1/

The supposed "evidence" that @RoKhanna was "detained" by the IDF is pure bullshit. Not one second of "detention" shown and at any time they could have turned around and left freely. Words have no meaning anymore. @weimanadav what an embarassment!
The IDF is lying about the detention of Rep. Khanna.
I was on the ground with him that day, and my body camera captured us being detained by both settlers and Israeli soldiers. The IDF did not disperse the violent settlers, as they claim. They explicitly sided with them.
מגיעות נערות מכאוכב אבו אלהיג׳א ליישוב מורשת וזה מה שהן נתקלות בו: גזענות. תושבת המקום מגיעה כדי לגרש אותן מפארק ציבורי. הן עונות לה "אנחנו רק יושבות כאן", והיא משקרת שהיא "מהביטחון" ומביאה כלב גדול כדי להפחיד אותן. זו המציאות של 2 מיליון אזרחים בישראל. זו המציאות שבאנו לשנות.
.@RoKhanna, the public deserves answers—not carefully worded talking points.
The alleged incident occurred on July 8. You gave an interview to Reuters on July 9. The story was published on July 11, followed by your social media campaign and national TV appearances.
A few straightforward questions:
Why wasn’t this trip publicized in advance? For a politician as media-focused as you, the silence before the trip—and the publicity afterward—deserves an explanation.
You say this was a serious 90-minute detention. Why did you say nothing about it on your own X account for approximately three days, even though you had already given Reuters an interview the next day? What changed between July 9 and July 11?
When reports emerged that you allegedly declined requests to meet with former hostages and hostage families during this trip, you responded, “I have met with Israeli hostages.” That does not answer whether you met with any of them during this visit. Which hostages were you referring to? When and where did those meetings occur? Did you meet with any hostages or hostage families during this trip? If not, why didn’t you answer the actual allegation directly?
You have publicly said you were detained by armed settlers and the IDF. What specific actions by the IDF constituted your detention? Who physically blocked the road? Did Israeli soldiers order you to remain, or otherwise prevent you from leaving? The IDF disputes that account. Will you release the complete, unedited video so the public can see the sequence for itself?
Your delegation reportedly remained at the scene for roughly 90 minutes. How much contemporaneous video and photographic evidence was recorded? Will you release all of it—not selected clips, but the complete record?
Who paid for this trip: your congressional office, your campaign, another organization, or someone else? Will you release the travel and funding disclosures so the public can verify the answer?
Finally, will you release the contemporaneous text messages, emails, photographs and videos generated by your delegation during those 90 minutes? If your account is accurate, full transparency should only strengthen your credibility.
These aren’t partisan questions. They’re the questions any member of Congress should be prepared to answer after making serious public allegations involving a foreign government.
Transparency shouldn’t require this many questions.
ליבי כהן-מגורי נרצחה בשביעי באוקטובר כשהיא בת 22 בלבד. היא נסעה לרקוד במסיבת הנובה ונורתה על ידי המחבלים בניסיון הבריחה שלה משטח המסיבה על כביש 232.
בשעה 8:11 היא התקשרה להוריה ואמרה:״ירו בי בבטן, ירו בי ביד, אני מאבדת דם. אני הולכת למות״. בשקט, ברוגע היא הבינה שאלו הדקות האחרונות לחייה. היא ביקשה מהוריה לקרוא לתומר, אחיה התאום, ולמאיה אחותה הקטנה ואמרה: ״אני הולכת למות, אני רק רוצה שתקשיבו לי. אני אוהבת אותך יריב, אתה האבא הכי טוב שיכולתי לקבל. אמא, תפסיקי לצעוק, רק תקשיבי לי, את האמא הכי טובה שיכולנו לקבל. אל תשכחי להיות אמא טובה לתומר ולמאיה אחרי שאני אמות. תומר, איך זכינו לחיות יחד. אני אוהבת אותך. מאיה שלי, אל תשכחי לעולם שאת האוצר של חיי״.
הוריה ביקשו ממנה לצאת מהרכב, להישכב על הכביש ולעשות את עצמה מתה. היא עשתה זאת, אבל המחבלים ראו אותה בתנועה והגיעו אליה לוודא הריגה מטווח אפס. ״אמא, הם באים לירות בי שוב״ ליבי הספיקה לומר כשמעבר לטלפון נשמעו צעקות בערבית ואז מטח יריות חזק וממושך עד שהשיחה נותקה. ככה היא סיימה את חייה, כשמחסנית שלמה של קלצ׳ניקוב נורתה על כל הגוף שלה, כשהיא שם לבד על פס ההפרדה הצהוב שבכביש.
ליבי נרצחה בדם קר. הסוף הנורא הזה הוא בדיוק ההיפך מהחיים המלאים והמאושרים שהיו לה, ורק ממבט על התמונות שלה אפשר לראות את היופי שהיא הקרינה וכמה הטוב לב שלה חודר. ליבי הייתה קרן שמש של שמחה, צחוק ונתינה בעולם. שירתה כקצינת חי"ר מצטיינת וידעה ליהנות בחיים ולגרום לכל מי שסביבה להיות בטוב ושמחה.
נזכור אותך תמיד מלאכית 💔

Rep. Ro Khanna was blocked on a road near Khirbet Zanuta on Wednesday. That happened, a NYT photographer saw it, and if the armed men who did it broke the law, prosecute them. Now the rest of the story.
The IDF says its troops and police dispersed the civilians and let his vehicles drive on. His own aide says the group was released when officers arrived. Yet the tweet claims the IDF "sided with the settlers and continued our detention." Both cannot be true.
The "M4 machine guns": the M4 is a carbine, and it is precisely the rifle the IDF issues to civilian rapid-response squads in the area. Nobody, including Khanna, has established whether these were "hoodlums" or local security members reacting to an unidentified convoy that no one knew was coming.
Because no one did know. Israeli security officials confirm the congressman never coordinated the visit, which is why he had no protection. He toured Area C with programming run exclusively by Palestinian hosts, by his own description, to get an "unfiltered" view. Unfiltered also means unverified.
And the timing tells its own story. Incident Wednesday. Tweet Saturday, minutes behind a New York Times article, from a politician who told Reuters this trip made him "more resolved" to run for president in 2028, and who declared anyone unwilling to use the words genocide and apartheid "morally compromised" before he ever got in the van.
An hour on a blocked road is not Israel's finest moment, and settler violence, including Saturday's attack on a CNN crew near Sinjil where four suspects were arrested, deserves condemnation and prosecution. But a presidential launch video dressed up as a human rights report deserves scrutiny too.
Congressman, our studio in Jerusalem is open. Come tell the full story, on the record, with the IDF statement on the table.
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/…
Avez-vous remarqué que les Palestiniens ne semblent jamais avoir de “bons amis” qui leur disent des vérités difficiles, comme celle-ci : “La guerre que vous menez depuis plus d’un siècle contre l’autodétermination du peuple juif a été un désastre. Elle n’a apporté que du sang et des souffrances, et elle s’est soldée par un échec total”?
Tomorrow at 9:30am ET at Tel Aviv University, I'll lay out where I believe the US-Israel relationship must go from here. I didn't come to flatter anyone. I came because real friends tell each other hard truths — and tomorrow, I will. Stay tuned.
Behold just what a fraud @bartov_omer is. @noam_dworman quotes Bartov’s own words saying that Germany had to be destroyed in order to defeat Hitler.
Bartov then says that the Allies did not commit a war crime — despite killing 600K German civilians — because after the war they occupied Germany and rebuilt it.
This is just an insane argument. He assesses Allied actions as moral in hindsight, but he confidently judges Israel’s actions as genocidal before the war is over! So if Israel helps rebuild Gaza after Hamas is destroyed, will he just declare mea culpa??
And of course he vehemently denies that Bibi — unlike Churchill and Roosevelt — differentiates between combatants and civilians, but @noam_dworman brings the goods. Someone whose sudden global spotlight hinges on what Bibi did or did not say should know exactly what Bibi did or did not say.
The entire anti-Israel narrative is built on lies and distortions. I do not exaggerate when I say I have yet to see one single person who believes the claim of genocide in Gaza who doesn’t turn out to be dishonest or woefully ignorant of basic facts.
@bradlander@DanaBashCNN Omer Bartov is the biggest fraud in history.
He says America and England didn't commit a war crime against Germany in WW2, despite killing 600,000 German civilians. Because in Omer's words, Germany had to be destroyed to defeat Hitler.
