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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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

    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.

      The vast majority of people who criticized Kamala online still voted for her. They knew the cost.

      The problem is voters who don’t pay as close of attention, who only vote based on single issues, which we have a lot of in the USA.

      I’d sure be happy if we were just starting Bernie’s second term. With third way neoliberalism still firmly in control of the Democrats, an eventual fall to fascists was inevitable. It just happened to be this election.

        I voted for Bernie twice. But he couldn’t even come close to beating Hillary when she’s was handcuffed to an fbi investigation. Also, it’s hilarious you think he wouldn’t lose a second term in a similar fashion to Carter vs Reagan.

          In 2016 Bernie we was running as an issue candidate. Nobody, including Bernie expected him to become a serious contender against the anointed one. He came far closer than expected, close enough for Hillary to never quit whining about it. There is also no such thing as “close” in a primary because once the media declared a winner, the remaining states all avalanche to the expected nominee.

          It’s hilarious that you think Carter and Bernie are all that similar. Carter was the first of the neoliberal Democrats. He had integrity, unlike the Democrats to follow, and he was solidly non-interventionist, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Carter never had the popularity that Bernie has maintained for over a decade. No Democrat since FDR can match that.
