The US state department has imposed sanctions on Tsav 9, “a violent, extremist Israeli group”, for blocking convoys taking humanitarian aid to Gaza, and attacking trucks.
The US said Tsav 9 activists began blockading a key crossing, Kerem Shalom, at the start of the year, and later set trucks on fire and injured drivers and Israel Defense Forces soldiers, as hunger spread inside Gaza.
“For months, individuals from Tzav 9 have repeatedly sought to thwart the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, including by blockading roads, sometimes violently,” a spokesperson, Matthew Miller, said in a statement. “They also have damaged aid trucks and dumped life-saving humanitarian aid on to the road.”
But every time you've been questioned on the topic you said there was no evidence this was happening, no aid was being blocked blah blah blah.
Even when their endless bullshit gets exposed nobody pays attention and brings it up to shame them.
As for sanctions..
It was not immediately clear how imposing sanctions would affect individuals linked to Tsav 9, which is an informal campaign organisation, and how many of those who joined its actions might be affected.
Yeh no shit. How about getting the Israeli authorities to arrest them? Like, "If you don't do something, and we mean do something that stops them completely, we will stop sending any weapons or debt cancellations". Or you know, you seem keen on shooting people...
Sanctions? What? That particular settler group can't buy oil from Suaid anymore?
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
