?????????? Who mentioned Jerusalem Times ? I'd never heard of it......... Looked it up, and turns out it used to be an Independent English-Language Weekly Newspaper that operating out of Occupied East Jerusalem, the Publication provided news from a "Palestinian Perspective" providing English-Speaking Readers with access to local Arabic Language Press but it is no longer in active circulation today. Yet another King Billy Boo Boo "Zionist Crap".I don't read that Zionist crap like the Jersualem Times. I just said so.

I suspect he's just being silly because I regularly quote from The Jerusalem Post and The Times of Israel.

Being efficient with words doesn't mean being precise, it means referring to something most people understand.
Even filly knew what I was referring to.
So did you, because you claimed my referrals were inaccurate, so you must have kown to what I was referring.
The UK, Australia, Canada, France and Norway have imposed sanctions on what they call "networks" involved in financing and enabling attacks against Palestinian civilians by Jewish settlers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank; [and] France also barred far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the country. 
"For too long, violent settlers have been able to act with near impunity, and settlement expansion and creation of outposts continue with the support and facilitation of the Government of Israel. In some cases, settler violence takes place under the protection of Israel's security forces...
"We continue to urge the Government of Israel to take action to ensure meaningful accountability for violence in the West Bank,"

Jennifer Larbie, Christian Aid’s head of UK influencing, described the decision to sanction so few entities as “derisory” and a clear example of the UK government doing “too little too late” while Palestinians are forced from their land.
This sentiment was echoed by Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative. He told Al Jazeera Arabic that Western leaders are facing unprecedented public backlash for their ties to Israel. “These governments are trying to cover up their shortcomings with low-value measures,” Barghouti said, arguing that the sanctions reflect a need to manage public anger rather than a genuine shift in state policy.
He stressed that the Israeli government itself is the entity that plans, funds, and executes settlement expansion.
Israel has undermined the Oslo Accords, which called for the freezing of settlements. At the time of the Oslo Accords in the early 1990s, some 250,000 settlers lived in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlement population has now grown to more than 700,000, while some three million Palestinians live in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

An inquiry by the United Nations has previously found that Israeli authorities were directly involved in settler attacks that have killed, injured, and displaced Palestinians, with Israeli forces actively providing protection. Both Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have long track records of inciting violence and expanding the occupation. Following a deadly settler rampage in the Palestinian town of Huwara in early 2023, Smotrich notoriously declared that the village should be “wiped out” by the Israeli state.
Furthermore, Smotrich has used his dual role in the Defence Ministry to quietly transfer administrative powers over the West Bank from the military to civilian control, a move legal experts describe as de facto annexation. Meanwhile, Ben-Gvir has personally distributed thousands of assault rifles to settler “national guard” members, and has frequently praised settlers accused of murdering Palestinians, portraying them as 'heroes' defending Israel.
Under international law, Israel’s settlements built on Palestinian lands are illegal. A UN resolution in September 2024 called for an end to the occupation within a year, but Israel has failed to comply. In fact, it has doubled down and announced more settlements.
Israel routinely denies that its troops protect violent settlers, claiming such acts are rogue incidents that violate military protocol. But numerous reports by media and rights groups show Israeli forces’ complicity in attacks on Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians have been jailed without trial, and Palestinians have recounted horrific abuse inside Israeli custody.

Meanwhile in UK it's still classed as terrorism to show support for a Palestine support group.

Now they've started on Lebonese. But they can't restrict reporters from Lebanon.
They do however continue to target reporters and Medical aid workers in Lebanon.

No, it's illegal in the UK to show support for a proscribed terror group.
Since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas on October 7, 2023, the United States has enacted legislation providing at least $16.3 billion in direct military aid to Israel. An ongoing cost to the American taxpayer to the tune of $300bn since the foundation of the Zionist state.
It's interesting to note the second highest amount of aid is sent to Egypt.
Recent Economist/YouGov polls find declining support among Americans for military aid to Israel over the past year, with a plurality now favoring a decrease in aid. A 2024 Pew Research Center poll also found Americans voiced greater support for the Israeli people than for the Israeli government.
The kind o' folk who can tell the difference between a peace loving population and a murderous, genocidal government.
