Summary

Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The sanctions, established under Executive Order 14115 in 2024, targeted those “undermining peace, security, and stability” and froze U.S. assets of sanctioned individuals.

This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.

Trump’s decision aligns with his previous support for Israeli settlements, which most countries consider illegal under international law.

        Well the last elections had Bernie, so effort was spent on that option for change instead.

        Funny how a decent choice of candidate can be the difference between promoting said candidate and promoting not voting at all. Almost like representation matters.

        It’s analogous to sanctioning Pvt. Ivan McBlyat but leaving Putin untouched.

        Don’t misrepresent people’s views. If they’re wrong, you should easily be able to win the argument against even the best interpretation of their stance.

            If that’s so, go ahead and point to a single person here that claimed to be an centrist and has provenly supported genocide.

              Just pop open the modlog for this community. It’s right there in the sidebar. You won’t have to scroll very far to see blatant Islamophobia. But since you’ll declare victory without looking, I’ll dig through the cesspit for you. So you can have some links to dismiss without reading. Or read and make excuses for like a maga chud defending Elon Musk’s nazi salute.

                Good job. Was hoping you’d find some, because nothing beats laughing at that smug, self induced back patting you seem to love doing when you people feel pompously righteous.

                Now, go ahead and show proof that they’re centrists, and not just trolls.

                    No, you didn’t call shit. You just baked an escape plan into your point that allows for a quick exit. I know how you work.

                    Note in my comment how I said:

                    go ahead and point to a single person here that claimed to be a centrist and has provenly supported genocide.”

                    See that “and” in there? That means you were asked to provide evidence that someone was guilty of two accusations.

                    1. Centrist, and
                    2. supporting genocide.

                    You provided evidence of trolls stirring the pot to upset easily triggered leftists. Not one of them claimed to be a centrist. So… You made a false accusation, got called out and lost. Thanks for playing.

        At least tankies leveraged a genocide to install their favorite orange tyrant.

        Seriously, you folks suck at hiding your true intent.

      But hey glad to know you can live with supporting genocide abroad as long as you’re not bothered at home.

      So what’s your point?

      Was this election so unimportant to the Democrats that they couldn’t pressure Israel into a ceasefire in October?

      Biden had all the power for the past 15 months. Failing to deliver anything and claiming they are “working tirelessly” can only mean incompetence or deception on the part of Democrats.

      Blaming Palestinian-Americsns for staying home when American bombs were killing their families is just such a weak take.

        Was this election so unimportant that non-voters and 3rd party voters couldn’t be bothered to cast their vote in concert with those that would stand in the way of a dictator?

        There’s FAR more at risk than a genocide. Take a look around for once.

          You are talking about people who voted loyal to Democrats for decades, donated and campaigned.

          The democratic party took their votes for granted and wasn’t even willing to talk to them.
