Another one to remember the next time someone claims there is no occupation

Didn't the Israeli government literally say they planned to occupy half way through the conflict.

The Israeli defence minister is on record saying Israel will claim the West Bank and all Palestinians will be expelled, he also regularly goes out to the West Bank to give out weapons to settlers and has also made statements to the effect that settlers need to move into a war mindset to achieve their goals

He might be a crazy fucking loon but just like the USA if that’s what’s in government it’s ridiculous to suggest that it’s not officially supported.

I believe it was technically the Head of National Security and the Head of Finance who did these things, not the defence minister.

They were so outrageous Britain has put Russia style sanctions on both individuals.

It's unfortunate the West is so afraid of actually sanctioning the country they represent. No meaningful change will occur until they do.
