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Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.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.
Imho this is not really 4d chess. Its boring old simple 2d chess. Hitler would not have been able to come to power in a country filled with lots of super radical lefty people. The longer you allow Nazis to “peacefully” shift the overton window to the right, the easier it will be for them to eventually grab power. The only solution to this is open political / civil war. If you keep sitting around just voting for the lesser evil, it will keep shifting to the right because the frog doesnt notice the water getting hot. Democrats have been stagnant in their political position for decades while republicans have been constantly moving further right. This was inevitable and the sooner the US gets this over with, the more likely the chances are of them not turning into a full dictatorship because there are still people left that are willing to resist.
