Ro Khanna’s war on Israel’s American supporters

Representative Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) is actively working to marginalize proponents of the U.S.-Israel alliance, aligning himself with progressive stances in anticipation of a 2028 presidential bid. He has co-sponsored efforts to block U.S.-Israel defense cooperation and supported amendments to zero out military aid to Israel. Khanna also signed the Track AIPAC PEACE Pledge, committing to refuse funds from pro-Israel organizations, accept claims of Israeli genocide, and support an end to military aid, while opposing restrictions on BDS and any military or intelligence cooperation with Israel. This group, co-founded by Cory Archibald, monitors political donations and issues "red cards" to those with pro-Israel ties, which critics argue is a form of intimidation. Khanna's actions, including a controversial trip to Judea and Samaria, have been labeled as "publicity stunts" by some, designed to solidify his progressive credentials and generate media attention.
