UK announces sanctions on Israeli settlements in West Bank. #Israel #WestBank #BBCNews

We aren't idiots. SETTLEMENTS MEANS NOTHING. BAN ISRAHEL AS A COUNTRY

Who gave this clown another cabinet post to feck up?

There is no trade with Israel that doesn't support illegal activity. If they can take tax revenue from it, then it supports illegal activity.

Thankyou Uk for taking the 1st step towards right direction.

meanwhile happy to provide intel and military to assist the ongoing👦👧⚰️⚰️

Can someone inform Red Ed that the whole area was jewish before islamic conquest from the 7th century onwards.

Sanctioning settlements but not the country those settlements are from laughable thats like saying your going to put sanctions on blackpool instead of the whole of the uk completely pointless

Ban all goods from the whole of the apartheid state of isreal

Excellent

Import and export ban. Killing old people and animals, is not acceptable . They don’t deserve any recognition.

PANTOMIME

Retaliation for Israel’s funding of Danny Tommo, and his recent “protests”? Interesting timing.

"With appropriate religious excemptions" meaning what?

How about sanctioning the country as a whole? Do you think the western settlements acted alone and weren’t backed by the very country invading the land? Spineless Britain

Sanctions should be brought on Israel as a whole for its genocidal campaign to conquer the middle east, and all assets should be seized.

Wait for them to accuse Ed Miliband of being antisemitic (he's literally Jewish)

Stop helping arm a state committing G/side.

I bet the israelies are absolutely busting a gut laughing at mad milli so are these goods going to have made in xxxkibutz on them that is just rhetoric to pander to the palastine sectors. Milli should be on the stage, sweeping up!

On your head be it you’ve made a big mistake there like all the others

You think that israel and the usa care what the uk thinks the uk is totally irrelevant

Why has this taken so long ?

No more little hat handicraft.

Errrr which house holds in this territory make goods for export… errr NONE !!!!

He is one of them😮

‼️ITS A NATIONAL POLITICAL OBJECTIVE, THE SETTLERS ARE IMPLEMENTING WHAT HAS BEEN THE PLAN ALL ALONG ‼️

About time.

Piddington

About time!

😮😮😮........😮😮😮😮😮...........😮

I can't believe it wasn't already illegal to import goods from ILLEGAL settlements. What's the religious exemption??

As a person of Ashkenazi descent<br><br>This is the right thing to do. I do not support Nazisreal

Oh nO ‼️ OMG ‼️ THE SETTLERS WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THE PACKAGING OF THERE PRODUCTS ⁉️HOw AWFUL FOR THEM 😂

What will be these convenient &quot;religious exemptions&quot;??? 🤔 - more bollox from politicians🤥

Why tf were they doing business with illegal settlements anyway?

Good first step, but the entire country needs to be sanctioned. Also, stop throwing grannies in jail for protesting this very thing.

Since when did the UK import anything from Israel other than dodgy politicians? This isn&#39;t going to do a thing 😂😂😂 pathetic

About time! They can also forego the oil drilling rights they have in The Falklands too, the treacherous persons.

Meanwhile ,Starbucks pays no income tax in the UK......

Too little too late

80 years too late

Half baked should have been Isreal itself.

Pish poor. Either fully sanction the state that’s culpable or don’t. Your optics don’t even cut Specsavers.

That’s just fine,after all we don’t need special information regarding imminent attacks on the UK and of course it’s always a good idea to unsettle Jewish people who have been living peacefully in England since 1656,and I’m pretty sure Mr Millibrain has Jewish roots,and I’ll just bet POTUS will be sanctioning us soon so all in all well done!

what about military cooperation?😮 hear hear 😮 what about intelligence?😮 hear hear😮 what about complicity?😮 hear hear

I like Milliband...he&#39;s an intelligent man and that was a thoughtful, nuanced, intelligent speech. I just wonder whether it might have been better waiting for the outcome of the Israeli general election, because I can see the Far Right in Israel distorting and weaponising the speech as an attack on Israel and Jews generally.

Time to arm the Palestinians to help stop the land thieves, or send a UN force armed to the teeth.

Let wait and see, not holding my breath.

Now watch Argentina 👀

What do you mean sanctions on settlements why not sanctions on Israel itself.

Instead of being obsessed with occupation, try to mind your country that has been occupied by extreme Islamist.<br>God is with Israel 🇮🇱

What a joker this prat is

Good

According to Bloomberg, British diplomats have been privately telling the Trump administration that the trade sanctions Ed Miliband is preparing to impose on Israel will be little more than symbolic. Behind the scenes, they are reportedly indicating that relations and commercial ties between Britain and Israel are expected to continue much as before. The talk from Burnham and Miliband of a “fundamental reset” in the UK’s relationship with Israel is, they suggest, primarily intended for a domestic audience.

Not before time. Isreal has become a carbuncle on the face of humanity.

GOOD now strike India back for their collaboration with putin

Hope its not smoke and mirrors

There is a profound irony in Britain lecturing Israel today.<br><br>Britain helped shape the circumstances that led to Israel’s creation: the Balfour Declaration supported a Jewish national home, Britain governed Palestine under the Mandate, and Britain was deeply involved in the events surrounding Israel’s establishment in 1948.<br><br>Yet today Britain increasingly condemns Israel while appearing to overlook the decades of terrorism, conflict and rejection of Israel’s existence that have shaped its security concerns.<br><br>Israel has an ancient Jewish connection to the land and, after centuries of persecution culminating in the Holocaust, established a sovereign state in its historic homeland. Its right to exist should not be treated as negotiable.<br><br>Meanwhile, Britain has serious questions of its own to answer: uncontrolled or poorly controlled borders, illegal immigration, failures to remove people with no right to remain, foreign extremists exploiting Britain’s freedoms, failures to prevent radicalisation, and the protection of communities from terrorism and grooming. Yet Britain still presents itself as though it occupies the moral high ground from which it can lecture Israel about national security.<br><br>Britain helped shape this history. Before telling Israel how to protect its people, perhaps Britain should first demonstrate that it is capable of protecting its own.

I am glad💪🏼❤️
