It's about time! The settlers are the primary motivators for IDF weapons being used on Palestineans. If they kept to their own territory they wouldn't have so many problems with their neighbors.
Fucking good. Isreali settlers are war criminals.
Nice one. Thank you.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"The sanctions are a response to the grave breach of international peace and security posed by their violent and destabilizing actions against Palestinian civilians and their property in the West Bank," Global Affairs said in a news release.
Canada is sanctioning four people, the department said: David Chai Chasdai, Yinon Levi, Zvi Bar Yosef and Moshe Sharvit.
Acts of violence by settlers and moves to dispossess Palestinians of their property were on the rise before the attacks and followed the election of the current Netanyahu government at the end of 2022.
"Attacks by extremist Israeli settlers — a long-standing source of tension and conflict in the region — have escalated alarmingly in recent months," the Global Affairs statement said.
"This has undermined the human rights of Palestinians, prospects for a two-state solution and posed significant risks to regional security."
Historically, however, little action has been against the more than 700,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank, who include a significant number of Canadian citizens.
