U.S. envoy warns U.K. against new plan to sanction Israeli settlements

Comments

1. Crimson Comet: so are the 12 countries all on the same page about what constitutes 'unprecedented settler violence'?
2. Miladoyle: settlements being tied to violence is a new low
3. Nova: can we talk about 'unprecedented level of settler violence' for a second? What's actually changed on the ground?
4. Lena: seems like the rhetoric is finally catching up with action
5. Noelvasquez: seems like a predictable move from the U.S. considering the recent escalation in settler violence
6. Grim Cinder: apparently the UK didn't get the memo on which side the US is supporting anymore
7. Rayancohenxo: this uk plan is either really brave or completely tone deaf
8. Glitch Talon: really hoping this warning wasn't just a formality - I want to see some actual teeth from both sides
9. Halcyon Jackal: unfortunately this warning comes after years of UK complicity in Israeli policy so I'm not buying it now
10. June: unbelievable that they're citing violence as the reason - that's just an excuse for bigger plans, mark my words
11. Fractal Vector: what's a few instances of violence enough to justify sanctions?
12. Lena Boone: settlement violence is just one symptom of a much deeper problem; wonder where this would stand in Biden's re-election campaign
13. Solar Echo: can't believe they're blaming settlers for all the violence - what about the fact that Israel's been restricting Palestinian building permits?
14. Talia: Settler violence is a major issue, but I'm not sure this approach addresses the root cause
15. Sanaaziz: I'm surprised to see the US envoy involved in this - usually British decision-making processes are pretty clear-cut
16. Miafischer: expected this response from the UK, but still feels like a half-measure
17. Ashen Ronin: seems to be the standard response from every country when they realize their empty words on peace actually mean something
18. Obsidian Reaper: don't see how trade sanctions are going to calm things down when settlement violence escalates every year
19. Mila: citing 'unprecedented level' they always say that, when does it actually change anything?
