"His real beef with me has been that I have called what happened in Gaza a genocide. I welcome the hatred of Netanyahu apologists. You cheerled us into the war in Iraq. You called Pat Buchanan antisemitic for criticizing Israel's bombing of Lebanon in 2006. You are one of the loudest supporters for Netanyahu's war in Gaza."
"The column, written by conservative commentator James Kirchick, takes Khanna to task for flip-flopping on issues ranging from Israel to the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, as well as excoriates him for his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Khanna characterized these positions as neoconservative ideology damaging to America.
