UK, France and Canada sanction Israeli settlements in West Bank as Britain accuses settlers of ‘ethnic cleansing’
I haven’t had a chance to post about this while traveling up to Acadia National Park this week. But Canada, the United Kingdom, and France issued blanket sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday. Any and all goods, services, and contracts are now forbidden if they stem from these settlements that continue being developed on stolen Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank.
CNN has a great article on it HERE:
UK, France and Canada sanction Israeli settlements in West Bank as Britain accuses settlers of ‘ethnic cleansing
I keep wondering: Will our leaders here in the U. S. show this same kind of courage? Or will they continue kowtowing to Trump, Netanyahu, and the likes of AIPAC? All while Palestinians continue having their homes destroyed, their land stolen, and in far too many cases… dying? Isn’t it past time to grow a set of balls America?
The NY Times is reporting that \
Eleven countries — Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden — joined Britain in sanctioning the settlements.
A growing movement for sure. But I fear the US will not join.
They will not grow a set, as you predict.
Have fun in Arcadia — such a beautiful place!
