Britain must sanction Israel, not just its settlers

This week I tried to enter the illegally occupied West Bank, along with two other British parliamentarians and an international delegation of observers.

What happened

Our unpleasant experience pales in comparison to the daily experience of Palestinians living under occupation. Year after year, decade after decade, Palestinians have faced not simply inconvenience but a systematic attempt to eradicate their existence. We have seen a genocide in its most brutal form in Gaza. But in the West Bank we see a slow-motion form of ethnic cleansing, perpetrated by Israeli forces and their settler militias.

The bottom line

For now, britain must sanction Israel, not just its settlers remains the part of the story worth watching, and further updates are likely as more details are confirmed.
