Money is fungible. The idea that the US is going to send infinity money to the Jews and somehow these particular Jews won’t get any is retarded.
These sanctions are pointless, and probably suggested by Netanyahu himself.

The U.S. on Tuesday imposed sanctions on Hilltop Youth, a group of extremist settlers in the Israeli -occupied West Bank who attack Palestinians and their property.
In addition, the State Department placed diplomatic sanctions on two men—Israeli settler Eitan Yardeni, for his connection to violence targeting West Bank civilians and Avichai Suissa, the leader of Hashomer Yosh, a sanctioned group that brings young volunteers to settler farms across the territory, including small farming outposts that rights groups say are the primary drivers of settler violence across the territory.
The sanctions, which expose people to asset freezes and travel and visa bans, come as violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has exploded since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, following the deadly terrorist attacks of October 7th.
Meir Ettinger, leader of Hilltop Youth. If I were God, I’d definitely choose this guy.
Palestinians report verbal and physical harassment, restriction of movement, and face intimidation by settlers circling their properties on motorbikes, cars or horses and spying via drones.
The Treasury Department said Hilltop Youth has carried out killings and mass arson, while rights groups and Palestinians say the group is behind “price tag” attacks – attacks on Palestinian villages in retaliation for perceived efforts to hamper settlement construction.
The group may prove difficult to effectively sanction, as it is loosely organized and decentralized. In addition, Israel’s finance minister has previously vowed to intervene on sanctioned settlers’ behalf.
In the past, sanctioned settlers have told the AP that the measures have had little impact on their finances.
Hilltop Youth has already faced sanctions from the EU and UK.
Why would you sanction the “extreme” settlers and not the rest of the settlers?
Are not all of the settlers “extreme”?
So gay.
