Ro Khanna told Reuters that settlers surrounded his group\u2019s van near the Palestinian village of Khirbet Zanuta. The confrontation happened July 8, according to CBS News. The men carried American-made M4 rifles, Khanna said.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military told a different story. Soldiers and police stepped in after being told settlers blocked traffic, broke up the group, and let the vehicles pass, the military told Reuters. Khanna\u2019s claim that troops backed the settlers rests on his own account. <strong>(RELATED: Swamp\u2019s Military-Industrial Complex Merger With Israel Inches Closer To Becoming Reality)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd these hoodlums come in with machine guns \u2013 M4, an American-made machine gun \u2013 and they detain us.

We need a new moral direction in our party.
