Ro Khanna Demands Israel Free Terrorist Serving Five Life Sentences

Ro Khanna thinks a man serving five life sentences for planning attacks that killed Israelis should be released. Read that again. Five life sentences is not a rounding error. That is a court’s way of saying this man earned every year, and then some, for the blood on his hands. Yet a sitting member of Congress is publicly demanding Israel let him walk free.

What does that tell an American voter? It tells them that for a certain faction of the Democratic Party, terrorists are victims as long as the bodies are Israeli. Five life sentences aren't enough for Khanna. He wants to override a sovereign ally's justice system because the conviction doesn't fit his political narrative. Israel knows who this man is and what he did. They tried him. They sentenced him. They built the case with evidence that put him away for multiple lifetimes. Representative Khanna doesn't dispute the facts, he just thinks Israel should forgive and release.

This isn't a foreign policy argument, it's a signal to the worst actors. Israel’s security, and America’s alliance with it, matters more than a congressman’s moral posturing. If Khanna genuinely believed in justice, he’d call for the victims’ families to be heard first. Instead, he’s chosen to stand with someone who has spent years planning the murder of civilians. That’s not advocacy. That’s an endorsement.

Republicans should keep this on file. This is what the left’s "ceasefire crowd" actually means by peace. They want Israel to open its prison doors for the people who attacked its neighborhoods. And they want Americans to believe that’s compassion. It isn't. It's a betrayal of an ally, and a shameful way to treat a nation fighting for its life.
