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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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

      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

      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

        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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
