YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
Armed Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have carried out a number of attacks in recent days targeting local Palestinians and foreign journalists, as well as detained U.S. Congressmember Ro Khanna during a fact-finding trip. Khanna said that when Israeli forces arrived, they sided with the settlers. "The U.S. government just merrily goes along funding these atrocities against American citizens, not to speak of atrocities against Palestinians who don't happen to be American citizens," says Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said professor emeritus of modern Arab studies at Columbia University. "All of this is being done with our tax dollars."
Khalidi also speaks about plans for a permanent U.S. embassy in West Jerusalem, set to be built on Palestinian land stolen by Israel.
