What a bunch of liars! Wait until they are screaming and flying a white flag while drowning under Arab control and persecution!
Britain, France and Canada are moving to ban trade with Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, spearheading a coordinated international campaign targeting Jewish businesses and communities as Western governments dramatically escalate their pressure on Israel.
The measures announced Tuesday go considerably beyond diplomatic condemnations. Britain says it will prohibit imports of goods produced in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, while France and Canada have committed to advancing their own national bans. A joint statement involving 12 countries also threatens broader national or European trade restrictions.
The coordinated action includes Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Britain, France and Canada specifically committed to bringing forward national measures banning trade in settlement goods.
British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced the dramatic shift in Parliament, declaring that London now considers Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria unlawful and saying Britain would move from merely criticizing Israeli policy to taking concrete action against it.
The situation in Palestine is a moral emergency…. What the Netanyahu government is doing in Gaza is a stain on the conscience of the world, and there is increasing evidence war crimes appear to have been committed….
There is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank, perpetrated by settler terrorists. And too often the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this. And worse, members of it have made statements and taken actions to support the forced displacement of Palestinians.
We will not stand by.”
The British measures are expected to extend beyond physical goods. Restrictions will also target certain services connected to Israeli communities, including financing, construction, infrastructure, real estate and advertising.
The governments behind the campaign openly tied their decision to Israel’s continued construction in Judea and Samaria, particularly the E1 project near Yerushalayim.
“The Government of Israel’s actions in the West Bank are undermining the possibility of a two-State solution,” the 12 foreign ministers said in their joint declaration.
They specifically attacked Israel’s decision to publish tenders for E1 construction and demanded that the Israeli government “immediately halt the expansion of settlements and civilian administrative powers.”
The move represents another sharp escalation in a campaign of international pressure that critics in Israel view as a discriminatory attempt to dictate where Jews may live and conduct business in their historic homeland.
It also comes as Israel continues to grapple with the security consequences of the October 7 massacre and years of Palestinian terrorism emanating from Judea and Samaria — realities that received comparatively little emphasis in the governments’ announcement. The joint statement did condemn Hamas’ October 7 massacre and acknowledged Israel’s legitimate security interests, but nevertheless placed its concrete punitive measures squarely on Israel.
The Trump administration has already signaled strong opposition to the British move.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned that the policy amounted to “discrimination against the Jewish people” and could have consequences for British businesses under anti-boycott laws in a number of U.S. states.
Israeli ministers responded furiously as well. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for Britain’s ambassador to be expelled, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to shutter Britain’s consulate in eastern Yerushalayim.
The economic impact of Britain’s goods ban itself may ultimately be limited. Annual UK-Israel bilateral trade stands at roughly £6 billion, and questions remain over precisely how British authorities will distinguish products manufactured in Judea and Samaria from those produced elsewhere in Israel.
But the precedent is far more significant: major Western governments are formally establishing mechanisms to economically isolate Jewish communities beyond the Green Line, raising fears that the measures could provide momentum for a much broader boycott campaign against Israel.

Reader responses to the above:
**They are calling for the establishment of Hamastan on the border of Tel Aviv and major population centres. They didn’t learn the lesson from October 7!
They conveniently “forgot” that in the past century it was the Palestinians and broader Arab world that multiple times categorically rejected the “2-state solution”!
Even today in English and in diplomatic circles, they call for 2-state, but in Arabic within their own environment, they are calling for “Palestine from the river to the sea”!
The Arabs are also holding hostage 5m “refugees” waiting to impose the right-of-return and to destroy the “Jewish State” demographically!
This is the same Britain, who categorically refused to bomb Auschwitz and who’s soldiers in Palestine watch in glee as Jews were murdered by the Arabs.
**Dear Mr British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and Your European Colleagues,
As Europeans, you are uniquely and hypocritically positioned to criticize and boycott the State of Israel given your hundreds of years of blood-soaked, colonial imperialism across every continent.
Consider that the basis of your understanding of right and wrong is the Bible. Most of its pages were written in ancient Israel by Jewish men. To be consistent, please rid yourself of that book. In fact, you believe your messiah himself was also created in ancient Israel. Yes, Bethlehem of Judea is one of the “territories” captured from Jordan in Israel’s 1967 war of self-defense.
You Christians do not believe your messiah was an Apache, or an Angle, or a Moor, or an Eskimo, or a Swede, or an Italian, or a Mongol, or a Chinese, or a Saxon, or a Mexican, or a Aleut, or a Celt, or a Viking, or a Norman, or a Scot, or a Hun, or a Persian, or a Samoan, or a Vietnamese, or an Arab, or a Houthi. No. You believe he was a Jew born in the Jewish homeland. He was born in one of the “territories.” Go ahead. Boycott your messiah.
Have a Jewish New Year filled with abundant repentance
** Hey Miliband how is the 2 state solution working out in the U.K.? Do you enjoy the gang rapes,prayer rugs on the streets,sharia law,hijabs?Have you read the Koran?You are an infidel per the Koran.And at that you are also a self hating and quite ignorant Jew.Sad but true.
GUESS WHAT :
You Deserved this UK:
Airlines scrambled Wednesday to dig out from the backlog triggered by technical problems at Britain’s air traffic control system that has forced the cancellation of more than 1,750 flights.
