This is Congressman Ro Khanna. I just returned from Palestine, where I
spent several days meeting with families about the daily realities of life
under occupation. My friends at the PCCC asked me to share what happened.

[ [link removed] ]Ro Khanna's post about being detained by armed settlers in the occupied
West Bank.

While visiting a Palestinian school that had been burned down by settlers,
my staff and I were surrounded by armed settlers carrying American-made M4
rifles. They blocked our vehicle, called in reinforcements, mocked us, and
held us against our will for more than an hour.

When Israeli soldiers arrived, I expected them to stop the settlers.
Instead, they protected them.

I was eventually allowed to leave because I'm an American member of
Congress. Millions of Palestinians don't have that privilege.

If violent settlers and the Israeli military could do this to an American
congressman, imagine what Palestinian families endure every day – with no
cameras, no headlines, and no one to speak up for them.

Throughout this trip, I met people who had lost loved ones, been driven
from their land, and were struggling for the most basic human rights:
safety, freedom of movement, and the dignity to live in peace.

For too long, their voices have been ignored.

That's why I'm demanding consequences for violent extremism and continued
settlement expansion.

* Designate the Hilltop Youth as a terrorist group,
* Prosecute violent settlers like Yinon Levy, and
* Halt all settlement construction in the occupied West Bank

I won't be silenced about what I witnessed in Palestine. I'll continue
sharing the stories I heard over the coming weeks because Americans
deserve to know what is happening.

campaign and the PCCC – or whatever you can afford – to help continue this
fight?
