Israeli settlers attack journalists, including CNN, on the anniversary of deadly West Bank beating

This attack on journalists comes just days after US Rep. Ro Khanna was detained by settlers near the village of Turmus Ayya in the West Bank. The village has a population of thousands of Palestinian-Americans who have come under repeated attack by settlers in the area.

Khanna visited the village to show solidarity with American citizens who have told CNN they feel forgotten by their government.

“I saw the arrogance in the eyes of those settlers, 21- and 22-year-olds with guns, laughing that they had detained us, the arrogance of those young IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding, having no respect for the fact that they were detaining Americans, no respect that there was an American congressperson in that bus, and laughing when our translator told them that there are Americans there and the American embassy is concerned,” Khanna told Reuters.

Killings near a West Bank village show even Americans aren’t immune

Abdul Zaben, 22, said that he was by himself when he found his friend Musallet, who had called to say that he was injured. By the time he arrived, Zaben said, his friend was barely reacting and struggling to breathe.

Musallet’s father called from Florida, asking: “Is Saif good? Is Saif good?”

“I was trying to say, ‘Yes, yes 
 everything will be fine,’” Zaben said.

After more than an hour, Hafeth Abdel Jabbar and other men arrived with an ambulance, which he said the Israeli soldiers had finally let pass. Musallet died before they reached the hospital.
