Mutually Assured Destruction: By this principle, the Weat disarmed and reduced its nuclear weapons
The Islamic Jihadists are not deterred by such noble philosophies. To them, the more death, the better.
The letter was written in Sinwar’s own hand in 2022 while planning the Oct 7 attack on civilsleeping in their beds:

How did Israel miss these plans?

Is Judea and Samaria disputed, as Israel claims, or is it occupied, as Europe says?
First: Before your trip, you tweeted that you were going to visit Palestine, a country that doesn’t exist, which has no embassy nor capability to receive visitors officially, has never had a king in history, and is not recognized as a nation. As a people, prior to 1967 no one was every recognized as a Palestinian; that came about because of Yasser Arafat, an Egyptian who was born in Cairo, who went on to lead the Palestinian movement (aka the PLO).
Second: Both countries, the USA which you represent, and Israel, which stamped your visa upon entry, have officially stated in their respective Parliaments, that the name of the area is Judea and Samaria, and neither government refers to any area as West Bank anymore. Some news outlets do not agree, as would be expected, but you sir, are a representative of the government of the USA and you really ought to abide by its principles as enacted by Congress.
Third: Had your visit been properly coordinated with Israel, there would have been no problems. Nevertheless, to my view it is good that those who harassed you were detained by the IDF and/or Police.
Overall, Ro Khanna, you are either willfully ignorant, or misinformed, or purposefully misleading the public with your antics and your choice of words. You’re acting like a troll.
Finally: Part of all this comes down to words and semantics, and a difference of opinion. Is the land “disputed” or is it “occupied?” These words have different legal definitions. See below:

Israel has concerns that Turkey could hack the F-35 fighter planes to remove the “qualitative edge” that the USA says is preserved for Israel.Photographed from Jerusalem Post, 13 July 2026, pg 1
This was the whole reason that other countries backed out of the deal. I guess they figured, what’s the point of buying these planes is they’re programmed to be slower and weaker on the battlefield than Israel’s planes?
Turkey and F-35 stealth fighter jets have been big news all week. Israel is extremely uncomfortable about this.Check out Netanyahu’s comments in these first paragraphs below:Photograph of section of Jerusalem Post, 10 July 2026 pg 13.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Israel has communicated through channels to the USA that it has learned of Iran’s new plans to attempt to assassinate USA President Trump.
Some months ago, in 2025, the Fbi arrested and the USA court convicted a Pakistani man for such an attempt; he had been hired by Iran to enter the USA and arrange a Trump assassination.
President Trump appears to dangle the F-35 deal as a carrot, perhaps as part of negotiations with Turkey. But Greece and Israel are extremely concerned about safety if the deal materializes.
As such, USA Department of War leader, Pete Hegseth, plans to visit Israel.
