What did Rep. Ro Khanna think the antisemites he\u2019s spent the last year courting were all about?<\/p>\n

Vibes? Tweets?<\/p>\n

The ambitious, chameleon-like California Democrat all but announced his longshot bid for the presidency after staging a thinly disguised stunt in the West Bank last week, when he tried to provoke the Israel Defense Forces.<\/p>\n

But he may already be having second thoughts about his life choices after learning what his target audience really wants.<\/p>\n

Khanna sat down with Jeremy Scahill, Ryan Grim and Maysa Mustafa of Drop Site News, the \u201cindependent\u201d far-left outlet funded by the Soros family, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The quartet were mere seconds into their conversation when Scahill blew up Khanna\u2019s entire worldview and 2028 campaign thesis.<\/p>\n

After thanking Khanna for promoting the popular \u201capartheid\u201d and \u201cgenocide\u201d blood libels against Israel, the professional propagandist quickly turned hostile over Khanna\u2019s failure to prevent it from using Iron Dome missile-defense technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the critique of you from pro-Palestine people, and from Palestinians, is that the position you\u2019re advocating basically amounts to, \u2018We need to make sure that the sniper is protected so that he can continue sniping,\u2019 \u201d mused Scahill.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind: Khanna already opposes American funding of Iron Dome, he just hasn\u2019t done enough, to Scahill\u2019s mind, to leave innocent Israelis defenseless.<\/p>\n

It only got more unhinged from there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsraeli civilians are dying in these attacks because of the apartheid,\u201d Scahill asserted before asking, \u201cDo Palestinians have a right to kill Israeli soldiers, Congressman? On Oct. 7, when they attacked the military bases in the Gaza envelope, did the Qassam Brigades and Saraya Al-Quds have a right to kill Israeli soldiers, yes or no?\u201d<\/p>\n

The obvious implication being: the answer should be \u201cyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

A visibly taken-aback Khanna managed only a stammer before an indignant Scahill interjected to repeat his question.<\/p>\n

After finally gathering himself, Khanna replied, \u201cI mean, I think [the] Oct. 7 attack was a terrorist attack. So I don\u2019t justify . . .\u201d<\/p>\n

Scahill didn\u2019t let him finish his thought, opting instead to whitewash the events of the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust by pretending that the barbarians responsible had their sights set on \u201cmilitary\u201d targets.<\/p>\n

Tell that to the victims of the Nova music festival massacre.<\/p>\n

And Yarden Bibas, who was cruelly told by his captors of nearly a year and a half that they had murdered his wife and two children, four years and nine months old, respectively, at the time of their abduction.<\/p>\n

The confused look of horror on Khanna\u2019s face as Scahill delivered his psychotic, spit-flying rant \u2014 one better suited for a Munich beer hall circa 1923 than the United States of America a century later \u2014 betrayed him.<\/p>\n

He had no idea what he signed up for.<\/p>\n

Khanna surveyed his party\u2019s relatively weak field of prospective White House hopefuls and saw an opportunity.<\/p>\n

Then he surveyed the relative success of anti-Israel Democrats in smaller, more localized primary races, and saw a means for capitalizing on it.<\/p>\n

Hence the relentless crusade against the world\u2019s only Jewish-majority state he\u2019s used to raise his profile.<\/p>\n

After all, if a nepo baby failson creep like Graham Platner and a wannabe Angela Davis like Darializa Avila Chevalier could ride this wave into nominations in Maine and New York City, why couldn\u2019t Khanna ride the same into the Oval Office?<\/p>\n

Now he knows why.<\/p>\n

Platner\u2019s schtick may have worked in the Pine Tree State\u2019s crunchy, relatively low-turnout contest.<\/p>\n

And as a forever student steeped in campus radicalism, Chevalier spoke the language of her miseducated Manhattan House district.<\/p>\n

Among these Drop Site-reading electorates, where Jewish exclusion zones on campus get cheered on and Oct. 7 rape denialism runs rampant, Scahill might well be mistaken for Cronkite.<\/p>\n

But when the median American \u2014 the one that pays their taxes, obeys the law, abhors bigotry, loves their family and country and decides presidential elections \u2014 comes face-to-face with modern pogrom enthusiasts, they\u2019re more apt to start swinging than reward their associates with the executive branch.<\/p>\n

Whether it was this political reality, a sincere moral aversion to Scahill\u2019s venomous sentiments or some combination that caused Khanna to wince is impossible to say.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

What\u2019s self-evident, though, is that he\u2019s made a massive political and moral miscalculation.<\/p>\n

Frustration with the current Israeli government may be waxing, but that doesn\u2019t mean that the commitment to \u201cNever Again\u201d has been supplanted by a Nazi-nostalgic cry of \u201cAgain!\u201d<\/p>\n

And while Khanna mistook the anti-Israel fanatics for well-meaning humanitarians with a sincere interest in peace, they are increasingly open about their excitement over the prospect of \u201cAgain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khanna thought he could harness the energy of a righteous cause to create a viable presidential campaign out of a mediocrity like himself.<\/p>\n

Instead, he\u2019s tried and failed to placate a group of toxic radicals whose true colors neither he nor the public can stomach.<\/p>\n
