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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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.
No… hehe, I don’t perceive him to be a bully. Don’t be so sensitive.
This may not be politically correct or whatever, but I would rather have a bully president than a wimpy president.
I mean, right?
At least we don’t have Genocide Joe! (/s in case I actually need to write that)
Yea! We just had to teach bLueMagA a lesson at the polls this particular election cycle
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.
You fucked up, regardless of what you tell yourself now
And Lepards ate all of our faces, thanks progressives
At least centrists didn’t have to abandon their support for genocide.
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.
I’m not misrepresenting anything.
I’m not arguing with someone who does.
The person you’re arguing with doesn’t. So apt statement.
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.

Here’s three. You asked for one. Now move the goalposts.
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.

Called it.
Leftists have full on embraced it.
At least tankies leveraged a genocide to install their favorite orange tyrant.
Seriously, you folks suck at hiding your true intent.
Do tell, what is my true intent?
Same shit if you’re Palestinian eh?
But hey glad to know you can live with supporting genocide abroad as long as you’re not bothered at home.
… they said while supporting more genocide
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.
The 53 days have started.

And folks are holding this up as evidence that Trump is “better” on Gaza.
Excellent article. Thank you!

Hitler opened the meeting by boasting that millions of Germans had welcomed his chancellorship with “jubilation,” then outlined his plans for expunging key government officials and filling their positions with loyalists. At this point he turned to his main agenda item: the empowering law that, he argued, would give him the time (four years, according to the stipulations laid out in the draft of the law) and the authority necessary to make good on his campaign promises to revive the economy, reduce unemployment, increase military spending, withdraw from international treaty obligations, purge the country of foreigners he claimed were “poisoning” the blood of the nation, and exact revenge on political opponents. “Heads will roll in the sand,” Hitler had vowed at one rally.
Sounds about right in line
Damn the similarities are uncanny…
This is so terrifyingly close to what we see in the US… Is this an accurate representation of the historical facts? Is this really not historical manipulation to sound like what is happening today? I cannot discern truth from lies here :'(
I have my anti-confirmation-bias-bias activating strong while reading this article
edit: raising suspicion is that I could not find evidence that nazis used “draining the swamp” refering to the parliament
According to the author about page: Timothy W. Ryback is a historian and director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in The Hague. He is the author of several books on Hitler’s Germany
Whether it was a reference to parliament, I don’t know. Politicians often leave stuff ambiguous so they can abuse the symbolism. After all, nobody wants to live in a swamp. There’s also an overlapping period between far right Germans and Nazis. Here’s a poster that calls to get out of the swamp: “Heraus aus dem Sumpf”
I mostly posted the article because of the included facts and resemblances. Which I think is most important here.
So, Israel bought a bunch of his coins?
Ding ding ding.
The existence of this coin is two fold.
- wash bribe money.
- Scam the voters.
They planned all the way from Bibi’s october visit
The only real way to curb settlers violence and support a two state solution is no more weapon at all to israel and global sanctions on the israeli state itself. Something the two genocidal parties would never do
That would be nice. But one party’s voters think that Arabs deserve no quarter. The other party’s voters are somewhat split and nuanced on the issue. So if you want only zero funding for Israel, or no vote, you’re going to get the party who believes in no mercy, kill all Muslims, and annex all of Palestinian lands yesterday.

Give them both the bomb. They’ll either blow themselves up, or MAD themselves into peace.
That first option doesn’t make this idea particularly tempting.
That first option is vastly superior to the status quo, in that it enables the possibility of the second option.
Do we have something better?
Wow, you just solved world peace. Congratulations!
Better than your solution of keeping supporting Israel
Point to me saying I do. Show me exactly when and where I made that statement.
Edit. Look at that, not one person is able to do it.
My comment was advocating to sanction Israel as a whole because it’s the Israeli government who is financing the settlers and even arms them and stop giving miliary aids to Israel that are used to kill Palestinians and all you did was making a dumb joke about my comment https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/04/17/west-bank-israel-responsible-rising-settler-violence
Yes. You are right on both accounts.
That in no way means I have any “solution of keeping supporting Israel”. Don’t put words in my mouth just because it’s the only issue you care about.You seem like a person of sound mind and steady judgment.
Why is that, because I’ve been accused of something I never said?
Don’t make fun of a comment advovating for imposing real pressure on Israel if you don’t want to be accused to supporting it. It is funny how you are complaining about putting words to your mouth while you accusing me of only caring about israeli occupation of palestine and the genocide issue when there is literaly zero indication about it

How to say you’re a moron without saying it…
I heard Kamala’s policy is bad for Palestinian from here and also the Palestinian community in US. Happy now?
Seriously, when will you people get around to understanding that sometimes a bad choice is still better than the alternative.
For instance-
I’d rather have a head cold than cancer.
But I was told buy a guy at work that the war would be over within 24 hours!
You didn’t ask how it’d end…
Perhaps he meant a different war. The Sudanese civil war perhaps? No one is talking about that.
Where are my lemmygrad Russian trolls now???
Out celebrating that they didn’t vote for Genocide™
This will surely help peace.
Pouring gas on genocides’ fires : at home and abroad. Rapist, felon and now genocider.
I see a lot of neoliberal fascist democrats in this thread, seeing a lot more of them on lemmy.world now. They’ll sooner blame a “tankie” on the internet than their own beloved party who sold out to fascists. Neolibs still haven’t figured out that red/blue are just two sides of the same fascist coin, and are quick to turn on other leftists (because they’re actually right wing af)
EDIT - Just to add, can’t wait to see you neolib Democrats side with fascists out of convenience and self preservation. Oh wait you’re already doing it.
Trumps killin’ it. Lotta shit he’s cleaning up
There is so much shit because its absolutely pouring out of his weird mouth
May God bless what is good that our president intends
He’s a bully. Deep down in your heart you know this.

This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.
He’s gone, you don’t have to keep pandering to his fake ass policy that totally wasn’t full send arms to Israel for 15 months. Blinken clocked out as well.
Not to mention we were all here when these sanctions got announced, rescinded, and then reannounced, in case it wasn’t already clear a few settlers would likely never be traveling to the USA.

At least it was something. Trump full on recognized the settlements, giving legitimacy and urging Netanyahu to escalate further. You don’t need to pretend like you havent completely fucked over every palestinian by not voting Harris.
So far Trump got a ceasefire. That is infinitely better for Palestine than anything that Biden did.
Uh… Y’all do realize these “sanctions” meant basically nothing right? Cry about Gaza non-voters when he actually does something (which he will don’t get me wrong, but this is just weak).
What a lame response. Treat this situation with the respect it deserves, or get out.
These sanctions were a joke.
It was a handful of people targeted who were never going to leave Israel anyway and won’t be that bothered by not having access to American financial institutions.
Okay what? I’m not sure what exactly you want me to respect here. I’m calling out the “look what not voting caused” circlejerk in the comments.
This is just the beginning. He’s making his position very clear.
Okay, and? Like I said above, save the “told you so” circlejerking for when he actually does something.
Great job genociding palestine.
