Biden sanctions Israeli settlers over West Bank violence - eviltoast
The US president sanctions four Israeli settlers accused of attacking Palestinians.

He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached “intolerable levels”.

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

Violence in the West Bank has spiked since Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel.

    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.”

      I think i’m going to call this hopium

      Because what reason at all does he have to challenge the USA’s biggest defense partner and international asset?

      Already ignoring the fact that his party is also backed by zionists lol.
