The unprecedented executive order is the most significant step any U.S. administration has ever taken in response to violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.

    Gotta say it’s a lot more than I thought would be done.

    Article say four settlers were being sanctioned, and I doubt it matters to them…

    But if Biden really goes through with sanctioning Israeli officials like the Finance Minister quoted in the article and especially Netanyahu, then I will literally, sincerely, and completely unironically stand up and clap.

    Doing even a little of the right thing is going to be what helps beat trump in November

      It’s almost nothing. But it’s not nothing. I’ll take it. Hopefully a sign of more to come. Now, the US needs to get their thumb out of their ass and stop blocking UNSC resolutions so the world and diplomacy can actually do something (with ~43 resolutions vetoed by the US so far)…
