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.

Everything Ro Khanna witnessed, and the journalists, comes nowhere near what Palestinian go through on a daily basis consistently for so many decades.
