Two violent Israeli settlers on whom sanctions were imposed by the UK government this week have joined a campaign to drive Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank village of Mughayyir al-Deir.
Neria Ben Pazi’s organisation, Neria’s Farm, had sanctions imposed by London on Tuesday, as the UK suspended negotiations on a new free-trade deal with Israel over its refusal to allow aid into Gaza and cabinet ministers’ calls to “purify Gaza” by expelling Palestinians.
The British foreign secretary, David Lammy, attacked the “impunity” of violent settlers as he announced sanctions designed to hold them and Israeli authorities to account. “The Israeli government has a responsibility to intervene and halt these aggressive actions,” he said.
I am wondering how come so many countries “suddenly” strengthened the tone and then I realised that they did that just because the US administration had shown publicly that they are running out of patience with them. So don’t fool yourself, all the European countries are too afraid of the US policies and would only protest when the US president is showing frustration.
That’s sad and morally bankrupt. Why protest an aid and humanitarian blockade after 11 weeks. 11 weeks there was very little condemnation and then boom!
There were a few countries that recognized Palestine as a state a while ago, but yes, too little, too late.
Article aside. Holy shit that beard on the driver looks fake. Like one of those bad santa beards made of cotton, but brown.
They look a lot like terrorists. It looks a lot like the US government is aiding terrorists. Maybe because they’re light-skinned it’s okay.
