So Biden did something truly amazing. Rather than wait on Israel to do something about illegal settlements which are funded by 100’s of millions of dollars from American donors… he simply sanctioned the settlements and froze their money along with the money from US donors as well. One of Israel’s two largest banks said that they will honor the sanctions. The goal here is to bankrupt the settlers. Biden has been clear that these settlements are an obstacle to peace. Cutting off the banks and the donors will choke off the settlements and make it extremely difficult to survive economically. I think Biden is no longer taking Netanyahu’s crap and he’s going to make life extremely difficult for him and make it more likely the people want Netanyahu gone. dailykos.com/stories/2024/3…
@PrezLives2022 Israel authorises and encourages settlements. Though it deems outposts as illegal under its laws, Israel has in recent years retrospectively legalised several outposts.
@LINDAINLIGHT Everything g they have taken since 1947 is illegal
@PrezLives2022 @LINDAINLIGHT No, it isn't. They were attacked, and they won every time. That's what happens when you attack someone for no reason - you end up losing stuff.
