He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached “intolerable levels”.
The sanctions will block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.
Violence in the West Bank has spiked since Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel.

“How dare you do something instead of doing everything!”
Honestly, if he did nothing it would be a huge improvement. Instead, he’s proactively sponsoring the genocide with his blank-check policy on military backing and endless exports of the latest in mass mutilation technologies into the hands of known killers.
When you’ve outflanked Ronald Reagan to the right, because you cannot conceive of curbing the flow of tanks, bombs, and other killing machines into the country, maybe there’s a legitimate reason you’re being criticized?
What scrambles my brain is he won’t even do the most basic shit. Like okay Gazans are starving because Aid is being blocked. Why aren’t we tying our weapons deliveries to the flow of Aid?
Even if you believe the IDF is the most moral military on the planet (laugh, snort) this is an obvious measure to make sure there isn’t a famine. And the IDF could have pretended they did it willingly if they had done this in December when we knew it was a problem!
But nope. Is there a Biden pee tape? What in the actual hell is going on?

Because the point of the weapons delivers is to kill Gazans, not save them. This isn’t a bug, its a feature. Genocide and permanent depopulation of Arabs in the Gaza strip is the entire purpose of this military operation.

Biden has been an Israel die-hard since the 70s and he’s only grown more intractable with age.
I suppose better than nothing but ‘better than nothing’ is a low fuckin bar for intervention in ongoing genocide. Unless there’s reprecussions on the state of Israel, who condones and empowers settelers, this seems like sanctioning the Houthis while simultaneously arming Iran.

Glad to see he’s starting to feel the pressure! That aside, wake me up when he sanctions Israel, which not-so-subtly supports these settlers.

Doing literally anything at all is a divergence from previous policy. How do you explain it?
Cuz it looks to me like Biden trying to throw his electoral base a bone so he doesn’t lose.
He doesn’t even need to sanction them. Stop sending them weapons.
Edit: I mean, I guess sanctions would be nice too, but stopping the weapons transfers should be the bare minimum.
That too 👆
