I wonder what percentage of the Israeli settlers are using the US financial system or even own US property.
The wording is also a bit vague, Do the bombs that we also sent Israel count as our property. Or are they officially Israel's?
Also, who are "the individuals?" who invaded the west bank? Do we have group names?
They're 20 year olds and teenagers who probably don't have any Israeli assets let alone American. They're from the 0.01% of violent settlers with no clout who did something politically inconvenient enough to actually get arrested by Israel. One of them beat up a liberal Jewish activist so that's why they got in trouble. One of them was from the Huwara pogrom attack where high-ranking Israeli government officials and the IDF encouraged and facilitated it, and he's a random loser they arrested to deflect attention.
The US picked some people to sanction that Israel has already deemed expendable, and they're people Israel agrees did something bad, so Biden isn't offending Israel by listening to any Palestinian accusation against an Israeli.
