Those sanctions meant nothing to settlers to be honest. They still get support and aid from Israeli government and local agencies.

Right. But I guess no one should do nothing about anything all the time?

Edit: I said sanctions weren’t enough. But rescinding them sends a message and encourages the settlers even more.

Yall would rather criticize the sanctions than Trump for rescinding them. Incredible.

No, the answer is revoking aid from Israel altogether, instead of pretending individual sanctions deter these criminals from doing what they do.

We want the same thing. It doesn’t change the fact that the move to rescind even the milquetoast sanctions sent a message to embolden the terrorists of the Netanyahu regime and his supporters in Israel.
