Members of Congress were detained by Israeli settlers

ON 11 JULY, UNITED STATES DEMOCRATIC PARTY FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE RO QANA STATED TO REUTERS ON 9 JULY THAT HE HAD BEEN STOPPED BY ISRAELI SETTLERS ON THE SAME DAY WHILE VISITING PALESTINIAN VILLAGES IN THE WEST BANK AND DETAINED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. HE SAID THAT THE SETTLERS WERE HOLDING UNITED STATES-MADE M4 RIFLES, BLOCKING THE ROAD AND MOCKING THEM AFTER DETAINING THEM. ACCORDING TO RO QANA, HE SAW THE ARROGANCE IN THE EYES OF THESE ISRAELI SETTLERS AND ISRAELI SOLDIERS, WHICH STEMMED FROM A POWER THAT HAD NEVER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND COMPLETELY UNFETTERED AND THAT HAD FOSTERED A TOXIC CULTURE OF OPPRESSION.
