France’s foreign minister has said that the European Union could soon launch a new round of sanctions against Israeli settlers accused of fuelling violence in Palestinian territories. This comes as Paris has stated that a repeat of an incident in Jerusalem – that saw Israeli security forces entering a French-administered property – ‘must never happen again’.

    So to get this straight. Israeli government employees are attacking french government employees. But instead of sanctioning the government that is behind these attacks on french government employees, they choose to sanction some private citizens instead?

    Sure those private citizens are intertwined with the government and supported by it, but this is like saying “i wont play with your little brother anymore” as a way to “stand up” to the bully that has beaten you, while you still pay him your lunch money every day.
