The Biden administration is slated to announce sanctions against the IDF’s Netzah Yehuda battalion for alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank, the Axios news site reported on Saturday. It would be the first time the US has ever taken such a step. The battalion has been at the center of several controversies in the past connected to right-wing extremism and violence against Palestinians, notably including the 2022 death of Omar As’ad, a 78-year-old Palestinian-American who died after being detained, handcuffed, blindfolded, and later abandoned in near-freezing conditions by soldiers of the battalion.
The reported US plan drew a scathing response from Israeli officials

Is Biden also going to sanction the FBI for numerous crimes against Americans?

Biden is bringing down worse curses on America than just bad press and lousy optics. The Word in Genesis 12:3 was this: "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you;" It sounds very Fatherly, but something tells me it wasn't just a suggestion. Sounds like Biden et al. intend for the USA to be next on violent hit list.

Got that right, #3. When Democrats are in charge, America chooses poorly. We will pay.

Israel knows by now that Biden has been playing both sides of the coin when it comes to the Israel Gaza War. When it comes to Iran, Biden is not about to do anything serious against Iran, as Biden is trying to get the Ayatollahs who run Iran to enter into some sort of bogus nuclear deal with him as election year campaigning ramps up in the USA, to make Biden look good politically, and maybe even get his leftist Democrat crew to lobby to get Biden nominated for some sort of international peace prize as the election nears. Also you can bet that Biden will do whatever he can get away with to get the Palestinian protesters off his back in this election year, in order to do that Biden will have to give the impression that he is effectively sanctioning Israel, true or not, and that he favors the Palestinians until at least the November election passes.

It's not rocket science, Joey Baby is pro-Hamas. IOWs, JB is pro murdering, pro raping, pro torturing and pro hostage taking of civilians by Hamas. No surprises. JB is an enemy of Israel.

How about some sanctions on the war crimes that Hamas committed? I guess that putting a baby in an oven right in front of its mother is now considered military strategy instead of a crime against humanity and that is just one example of many. The cowardly and extremely vicious attack by Hamas on innocent civilians must be just standard operating procedure now, right Joe? All those rapes, beheadings, kidnapping of hostages, disgusting and vile murders, and Joe sanctions the victims? You just can’t get more evil than that.

Obama is an Islamist plant! He despises Israel! He will soon order the withdrawal of aid and support in the UN! He is bringing about the formulation of The Beast! The US must be destroyed! Then the Jews! And then ultimate Islamic victory and terror! Obama will lead the movement worldwide ( or so he thinks)! Watch!

this only demonstrates that the delirium factor is alive and well in the demcommie party when they think they can intimidate & humiliate anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with them - just ask comrade benny thompson (D-MS)

I was at my Doctor's the other day and I told him that Obama s was a Muslim and was running Joe Biden and that was why Iran was not attacked for stirring terrorism in the Middles east and he said that was Nonsense.
Well every day it looks more like it's not nonsense.
By the way Obama was our first President who was not legally President as he is not legally a natural born American.

Israel can blow this sanction off. It is not coming from the vast majority of Americans.
