US Democratic Congressman Lo Kana told Reuters on July 9 that he was intercepted by Israeli settlers and held for about an hour while visiting a Palestinian village in the West Bank that day. He said the settlers were armed with American-made M4 rifles, blocked roads, and mocked their group after detaining them. Ro Khanna said that he saw arrogance in the eyes of these Israeli settlers and Israeli soldiers. This arrogance stems from power that has never been held to account and is completely unfettered. This kind of power has given birth to a toxic culture of oppression.
