Hi everyone,
No doubt by now you will have heard that the UK and other European countries as well as Canada have taken steps towards sanctions against certain businesses in Judea and Samaria (erroneously known as the West Bank). They have all decided that Israel is the number one enemy to any future formation of a Palestinian state, therefore the unsettled youthful “settlers” who are losing it since October 7th, 2023 must pay a heavy price according to their dictates.
But, when it comes to the location of a Palestinian “state” that all these people are calling for depends on exactly where they think that “state” should be located. Of course, their interests lie in pursuing that “state” in the so called “occupied” West Bank, not some of it, but all of it. Eventually, when Gaza is rebuilt they will claim that area as well in order to squeeze the Hebrew residents out of land, home and existence.
Who is really perpetrating the genocide of Middle Eastern Arabs wrongly named as Palestinians. The Jews are the ones in danger, not the Fakestinians until others meddle in their pitiful lives.
These rulers not fit to rule are perpetrators of a lie that keeps gaining momentum and the UK and all its friends are the constant echo chamber of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas. Well, yes, we know where their allegiances lie. They financially support them! Shame!
They have decided the fate of not only the Jewish Israelis who own and run these businesses, but the poor Fakestinians as well. Meddle, meddle, meddle. Esau never gives up the struggle, which is ludicrous when we consider that the very people that these miscreants deem so important enough to heavily represent with their dollars, influence and feigned good will have actually sentenced hundreds of Fakestinians in their precious “West Bank” to more deprivation and misery.
The very companies that produce goods from East Jerusalem to the high hills of Judea and Samaria employ thousands of Fakestinians as well as Jews. To bring a boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) act against Israel through these companies will damn the families of the very people that these self righteous antisemites give the appearance of trying to help. They don’t care two hoots about the Fakestinians and what will become of so many of them now that their BDS campaign goes into effect. It will not damage the Jewish people so much, but it will throw the Fakestinians into more chaos.
Perhaps, they seek to foment more unrest and chaos, that’s usually their M.O. and more bloodshed and condemnation on Israel, never on the Fakestinians. After all, if the jobs disappear for the Fakestinians and the families are going hungry, then I can imagine that they will blame the Jews for their newly acquired plight. There will be more bloodshed. Naughty bad Jews again.
Then, naturally enough, the over zealous countries that started this hyper self righteous judgement will draw everyone’s attention to the next faze of the Fakestinian’s plight, speak about it with great condemnation towards Israel at the (dis)United Nations and every leftist parliamentary forum and platform and the news media will have their Israel bashing day of days. It’s all so predictable.
They cry that any new settlements by the Hebrew Israelis is causing unrest and that “international law” says that it’s occupied territory - set aside only for the Palestinians. That is a blatant lie, propaganda and false to its core. They keep saying it, gullible, hateful people believe it, but it’s just not true and no amount of jumping up and down on their part or taking out BDS against the people of Judea and Samaria is going to make it true.
These present unrest in Judea and Samaria is brought on by the Fakestinians attacking the Jews (it’s been happening for years and not just against their person but their lives and livelihoods) which crimes are never reported in the West. And so, when a proportion of the Hebrew youth retaliate strongly then they’re labeled the only bad guys.
It really doesn’t matter how beneficial the State of Israel is to the entire world, the envy and jealousy and hatred of Esau towards his brother Jacob is undiminished over the centuries. Ishmael runs a close second. However, the ME is becoming closer together since the Abraham Accords and the eyes of the world should be invested in the outcomes of these alliances, for the good of all the world. Instead, they pick and pick at the scab of this one wounded area and never ever give it a chance to heal as they rub salt into every wound.
Let’s read about just what this latest act by the EU nations and Canada have wrought against those who they have pretended to care about. The devil and all his henchmen couldn’t have done a better job and I believe, as I’m sure you do, that these false leaders are ruled by him.
“Does Anyone Care About Palestinian Jobs?
“The governments banning products from Judea and Samaria are harming those they claim to help.
“DUVI HONIG”
https://www.jns.org/opinion/duvi-honig/does-anyone-care-about-palestinian-jobs?_hsmi=145386403
“(Sept. 9, 2026 / JNS) Do Britain, France and Canada care about Palestinian jobs? Do Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium care whether a Palestinian father can put food on his family’s table next month?
I ask because those governments just banned or are moving toward banning goods made in Judea and Samaria, the very places where thousands of Palestinians go to work every morning. Not one of those governments said a word about what happens to those workers next.
“Over the coming days, there will be no shortage of statements. Governments will condemn. Organizations will condemn. Israel will be condemned from a dozen podiums in a dozen capitals. What I am not sure of is whether anyone will speak for the Palestinian worker who is about to lose his paycheck. So I will.
“I want to give credit where it is due. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said that this ban will land hardest on Palestinians. That took leadership. It is the statement of a president who looks out for Arabs and Jews equally, naming the victims the people who enacted this policy have not bothered to consider. He was right to say it, and I applaud him for saying it.
“Understand the scale of the ban: It applies to a relatively small number of businesses. Thousands of Palestinian jobs depend on those businesses. That is the trade being made here: a modest commercial inconvenience on one side, a household income on the other.
“Those jobs pay several times what is available on the Palestinian side of the line, where there is often no work at all. Nobody in London, Paris or Ottawa has offered impacted Palestinian workers another job. There is no compensation fund, no transition plan, no replacement employer. There is a press conference.
“If those governments genuinely cared about Palestinians, they would start somewhere else entirely. They would stop indulging Hamas, whose war has done more to destroy Palestinian livelihoods, homes and futures than every industrial park in Judea and Samaria combined. You cannot claim to be defending Palestinian welfare when your pressure falls exclusively on the people employing Palestinians and never on the people who use them as ammunition.
“We have watched this movie before; in fact, we were in it. When Airbnb announced in November 2018 that it would delist roughly 200 homes in Judea and Samaria, the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce was among the voices that pushed back.
“I said then that BDS is poison, that Airbnb was a symptom rather than the disease, and that the hate driving it had to be pulled up by the roots before it multiplied. Florida placed the company on its scrutinized companies list. Lawsuits followed. Within months, Airbnb reversed itself, the listings came back and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis lifted the sanctions.
“A company learned that discrimination by geography carries a price. That lesson held for seven years. Three Western governments just decided to unlearn it.
“The other precedent is the Israeli company SodaStream. Roughly 500 Palestinians lost good jobs overnight when activists forced the company’s plant to close. The campaigners declared victory and went home. The workers gave interviews asking for their jobs back. Not one of the people celebrating wrote them a check.
“Now look at what these governments have done to themselves.
“British trade with Israel runs around six billion pounds a year, and Britain runs a surplus on it. That is what London put at risk today. The American exposure is larger still. Thirty-eight states have anti-boycott statutes on the books. Within a day, a Florida congressman noted that under a law he authored, any British company forced to comply with this ban could be barred from doing business with any state or local government in Florida, one of Britain’s biggest markets. Texas has provisions to follow. Between them, those two states represent an economy larger than the United Kingdom’s, and the United States as a whole is Britain’s largest trading partner. Tellingly, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called the ban discrimination and signaled Washington could respond.
“Canada’s position is even harder to explain. Ottawa is already in a tariff fight with Washington that is costing Canadian exporters real money. Canada has every reason to protect what American goodwill it has left. It signed on anyway.
“Consider the moment they chose. The 2020 Abraham Accords have seen Israelis and Arabs sign commercial agreements, open trade routes and build the first real economic bridges the region has seen in generations. Arab governments are choosing commerce over grievance. Instead, the West has decided, at exactly this moment, to move in the opposite direction.
“Nobody would have guessed that in 2026 the obstacle to Arab-Israeli commerce would be London, Paris and Ottawa, or that Western capitals would end up carrying water for the extremists the Arab world is walking away from.
“Britain, in particular, should be careful about going down this road. This is the country of the York massacre of 1190 and the expulsion of Jews in 1290. This is the power that ruled Hebron in August 1929, when 67 Jews were slaughtered in their homes and study halls while a single British policeman stood between a mob and an ancient community. Britain’s response was to evacuate the survivors and end a Jewish presence that had lasted centuries. This is the country whose 1939 White Paper sealed the gates of the Land of Israel while European Jewry was being murdered and turned back the refugee ship Exodus in 1947.
“The record is the record. A British government that now includes the address of a Jewish community on an import ban should consider the new chapter in history it is writing.
“There is an old story about a man who is offered any wish he likes, on condition that his neighbor receives double. He thinks it over and asks to be blinded in one eye. That is the arithmetic of hatred: It will accept enormous self-inflicted damage so long as somebody else suffers more. In this case, the ban does not even deliver that. Britain and Canada have blinded themselves in both eyes, Israel has barely blinked, and the person bleeding is the Palestinian worker the countries claim to be helping.
“If those governments want to use their economic weight on behalf of the Palestinians, the tools are sitting right there: fund joint ventures, open procurement to Palestinian manufacturers, guarantee trade finance for firms that hire people on both sides, build something that pays people.
“Instead, they took a hammer to the one thing that was working and called it peace.”
And this take from Danny Danon:
“UK Sanctions On Judea And Samaria ‘Shameful,’ ‘Not Helpful,’ Danon Says
““You know, the British Mandate of Palestine is over,” Israel’s U.N. ambassador told reporters at a press briefing at the United Nations headquarters.
“RIKKI ZAGELBAUM”
https://www.jns.org/news/israel-news/uk-sanctions-on-judea-and-samaria-shameful-not-helpful-danon-says?_hsmi=145285416
“(Sept. 8, 2026 / JNS) The “so-called sanctions” that British foreign secretary Ed Miliband announced on Tuesday banning products from Judea and Samaria are “shameful” and “not helpful,” Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters at U.N. headquarters on Tuesday.
“We’re an independent country, a sovereign country,” Danon said at the press briefing in Turtle Bay. “If someone thinks that diplomacy is being played by applying sanctions or trying to bend our arm, we will take action as well.”
“The envoy told reporters that he “met with the U.K. ambassador when she came in.”
““Don’t expect to dictate your ideas on us,” he told her. “You know, the British Mandate of Palestine is over.”
“Miliband told Parliament on Tuesday that the United Kingdom would ban imports from Israeli “settlements,” impose more sanctions on “extremist settlers who have supported or incited acts of violence against Palestinian communities” and target companies and people involved in “settlement expansion.”
“The United Kingdom plans to ban advertising “illegal settlements” in the United Kingdom and restrict exports of goods that it says “materially contribute to the occupation,” Miliband said.
““Settler terrorism is rampant,” Miliband said. “The U.N. reports an average of six violent settler attacks against Palestinians per day this year, the highest on record.”
““The British government agrees that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank perpetrated by settler terrorists,” he said. “All too often the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this and worse, members of it have made statements and taken actions to support the forced displacement of Palestinians.”
“Danon told JNS that he rejects the term “settler violence” and said that those carrying out attacks against Palestinians in Judea and Samaria should be treated as criminals rather than terrorists.
““I don’t think it is terrorism, because I don’t think it’s organized,” he said. “You don’t see ideology or budget.”
“The Israeli envoy compared what he called “so-called settler violence” with Hamas, which he said has a “chain of command” and “goals.”
““We’re talking about a few thousand gangsters who commit sporadic activities,” he said, referring to Israelis who commit violence against Arabs in the region. “All the ones should be arrested, and that’s it.”
“Danon told JNS that when he was a child, members of an “organized” Jewish terrorist organization “were all arrested and put in jail.”
““That’s not the case today,” he said. “Today, you see those outlaws, and I don’t think labeling them terrorists is the right definition.”
“When asked whether the attention surrounding “settler violence” is a concern, Danon told JNS that “it’s a concern because it’s impacting public opinion. It’s impacted governments.”
“‘They are biased’
“Shortly after Miliband’s announcement, he and the foreign ministers of 11 more countries—Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, Sweden and Spain and Ireland—said jointly that they intended or were considering restrictions on trade in goods from Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
“Danon told reporters that Israel was considering retaliatory measures against Britain, including “closing their consulate in Jerusalem.”
“He said that Israel is considering excluding British representatives from a coordination center involved in humanitarian operations in Gaza and making it more difficult for British nongovernmental organizations to operate in Judea and Samaria and Gaza.
““It would be harder for them now to be involved in what’s happening on the ground in Judea and Samaria and in Gaza, because we feel that they are not objective and they are biased,” he said.
““If you are biased and you are one-sided and you condemn, for example, only the activity that took place against Palestinians but not against Israelis, don’t expect to become involved in the process when the day will come, when we start the negotiation with the Palestinians,” he said.
“Danon also rejected the broader characterization of “settler violence,” telling reporters that “when you say ‘settler violence,’ basically, you label half a million Israelis who live in cities, in communities.”
““Just because you have a few thousand criminals, you cannot label the entire community as terrorists,” he said.
“No one “blamed the entire Muslim population” for a hate crime that took place in the United Kingdom, Danon said.
““I think the same in Judea and Samaria,” he said.
“Israeli officials condemn Jewish violence when it occurs, he told reporters.
““When that happens, you hear the president, the prime minister—everyone will condemn it,” he said. “When it happens on the other side, they glorify killers. They name squares after them.”
“He also accused Britain’s Labour government of allowing domestic politics to shape its Israel policy.
““It’s important to be very clear. I have nothing against the British people,” he said. “We have issues with the Labour government. I think they’re trying to interfere in our election.”
“Restricting trade with businesses in Judea and Samaria would also hurt Palestinians employed by Israeli businesses there, according to Danon.
““You don’t improve anything by doing that,” he said. “You don’t even improve the situation on the ground. You’re actually hurting the Palestinians.”
“Palestinians work in industrial areas in Judea and Samaria to “make a living,” he said.
““Basically, you punish not Israelis. You punish Israelis and the Palestinians who work together in the industrial areas—Ma’ale Adumim, Barkan, in Ariel,” Danon said. “So it’s not really helpful, and I know that the U.K. will not be happy with the response we take.” “
Brethren, if that’s not enough to convince you of the terrible truth of the matter then, please have a read of Melanie Phillips indepth articles on the subject.
