thecanary.co (2025-01-21). Israeli forces arrest & kill Palestinians as Trump lifts sanctions on far-right settlersIt appears that Israel is so steeped in negativity and greed that at the beginning of the Trump 2.0 era it wants to ramp up its ethnic cleansing campaign against the West Bank of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Trump, apparently like Joe Biden, is too feckless and imbecilic to do anything about it. And as he starts his second term, he's wasted no time in bolstering the settler-colonial project. Because amid a shaky ceasefire giving Palestinians in Gaza a brief pause from genocide, he has lifted sanctions on "far-right Israeli settler groups and individuals" responsible for attacking Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
