Ro Khanna: “I saw the arrogance in the eyes of the Settlers. 21 & 22 year olds with guns, laughing that they’d detained us. The arrogance of those IDF soldiers... It is the arrogance of power. Of a power that has had no accountability. Total impunity. And it’s created a toxic culture of oppression.”
