Everyone here should know, this is due to you and the conversations you've been having, media you've been supporting, and any actions you've taken to directly protest, letter write, etc.

Activism works. Being annoying af works. Simply changing the media you consume has an impact. Conservatives get what they want from their elected officials because they demand it. You too can demand things of your elected officials (so long as you can hold them to consequence, ie, the problem with bnmw).

"The indivuals". Four. Four guys. That's all. Of all the Israeli illegal settlers, a whole total of FOUR are getting banned from buying US properties...which I doubt they wanted to, anyway.

Firstly, positive to see more criticism and friction between Israel and US officials, and that resulting in unilateral action against extreme elements of Israeli society. I recognize that international and domestic politics are hard to balance, and its campaign season.

But holy shit this solves nothing. “It’s a start” certainly, but there shouldn’t even be settlers. Oslo II very clearly, with lines on the map agreed to by both sides, set out that the West Bank and Gaza is Palestinian, for Palestinians.

At what point does the US alliance with Israel cost us more than it’s worth, especially when this unlimited support is directly harmful to other regional allies like Jordan or Egypt?

I suppose better than nothing but 'better than nothing' is a low fuckin bar for intervention in ongoing genocide. Unless there's reprecussions on the state of Israel, who condones and empowers settelers, this seems like sanctioning the Houthis while simultaneously arming Iran.

Now do the same with the Israeli state

Way to little, but at least something.

Us sanctioning iran: "FUCK EVERY MAN WOMAN GRANDPARENT AND CHILD, OVERTHROW YOUR GOVERNMENT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT BITCH"

Us sanctioning israel: "using satalites we have pinpointed 4 individuals in the west bank region and will enact targeted sanctions to curb behavior, thank you and god bless"

Glad to see he's starting to feel the pressure! That aside, wake me up when he sanctions Israel, which not-so-subtly supports these settlers.

how do you sanction "settlers" exactly

What happens if one of the settlers becomes PM of Israel? Does the US change its tune?

Remember, in the case of India, the current PM of India was banned from entering the US for almost a decade. Now, we bend over backwards for him.

What scrambles my brain is he won't even do the most basic shit. Like okay Gazans are starving because Aid is being blocked. Why aren't we tying our weapons deliveries to the flow of Aid?

Even if you believe the IDF is the most moral military on the planet (laugh, snort) this is an obvious measure to make sure there isn't a famine. And the IDF could have pretended they did it willingly if they had done this in December when we knew it was a problem!

But nope. Is there a Biden pee tape? What in the actual hell is going on?

These fucking morons are going to hillary themselves into another Trump presidency. Fucking embarassing.

History repeats itself. War crimes are being committed and other countries try to wait it out with pointless bureaucracy bullshit.

Meanwhile innocent children suffer and die every day.

The sanctions block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.

They also prevent them from using the American financial system.

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?

Biden (I hope): "Gee, after the election, I don't have to worry about voters thinking I'm 'throwing Israel under the bus', and can do whatever I want. Gee, will I still be a zionist? Or will I follow what my party wants me to do? Here is a hint, Israel."

Him: what's the bare minimum I can do. I don't like being called Genocide Joe.

Staffers: sanctions!

Him: fuck those four settlers in particular!

Staff: at least he's better than Trump?
