Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly announced on Thursday the imposition of additional sanctions on seven individuals and five entities linked to “extremist settler” activities in the West Bank. The sanctions aim to hold accountable those facilitating, supporting, or financing violence against Palestinian civilians and their property.
According to the Foreign Ministry, extremist settler violence has resulted in loss of life, property damage, forced displacement, and insecurity for both Palestinians and Israelis. These attacks undermine Palestinian human rights, prospects for a two-state solution, and pose significant risks to regional security, according to the Canadian government.
The sanctioned individuals include Ben Zion Gopstein, Daniella Weiss, Einan Ben-Nir Amram Tanjil, Elisha Yered, Ely Federman, Meir Mordechai Ettinger, and Shalom Zicherman. The five entities listed are Amana, Hilltop Youth, Lehava, Moshe’s Farm, and Zvi’s Farm.

What sanctions are there against thousands of Palestinans and the PA who undermine “undermine Jewish human rights, prospects for a two-state solution, and pose significant risks to regional security”?
Eisov sonei l’Yaacov. While almost every Gazans are terrorists, they are engaged in violence and/or supports violence against Jews, the settlers just want to live in peace. While there may be a few individual settler who MAY be involved in violence, this supposed violence is usually as a result of violence first started against the settlers by Arabs.
Judging from the graffiti on the wall, they certainly seem to be extremist. Since when does the yeshiva world (pun intended) support crazy far-right Zionist settlers?
Torah beli daas: First of all, you can’t judge anything from graffiti until you know who wrote it.
But in this case, there is nothing “extremist” about this graffito, it is exactly what the Torah says, and the actual yeshiva world agrees with it 100%, even if not everyone would write it in public.
