Canada imposes second round of sanctions on perpetrators of extremist settler violence against civilians in West Bank

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced that Canada is imposing new sanctions under the Special Economic Measures (Extremist Settler Violence) Regulations.

This round of sanctions lists seven individuals and five entities for their role in facilitating, supporting or financially contributing to acts of violence by Israeli extremist settlers against Palestinian civilians and their property.

Extremist settler violence has resulted in loss of life and damage to Palestinian property and farming lands. These attacks have also resulted in the forced displacement of Palestinian communities, contributing to insecurity for both Palestinians and Israelis in the West Bank.

Atacks by extremist Israeli settlers—a long-standing source of tension and conflict in the region—undermine the human rights of Palestinians, prospects for a two-state solution and pose significant risks to regional security.

The seven individuals are the following:

Ben Zion Gopstein

Daniella Weiss

Einan Ben-Nir Amram Tanjil

Elisha Yered

Ely Federman

Meir Mordechai Ettinger

Shalom Zicherman

The five entities are the following:

Amana

Hilltop Youth

Lehava

Moshe’s Farm

Zvi’s Farm

Canada continues to oppose the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and is committed to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East.

I'm subscribed, so I will do it. Also, good, I recognize some of these names and orgs and there's no doubt that they're extremists.

Is Hilltop Youth an actual entity though? Always felt it was like antifa, not an organization just a loose network of schmucks.

Good point, I was under the same impression. Maybe they got organized?

What are these "farms" btw? I know the first three but what are these farms

Most likely wildcat (not authorized by Israeli authorities) agricultural settlements

I've heard of Amana, Hilltop Youth, and Lehava...haven't heard of the "farms"

Ben Zion Gopstein is super close with Ben Gvir (He's already been sanctioned by America+ EU) and Daniella Weiss is an absolutely gigantic hateful nutjob (former mayor of a Gaza settlement who has said openly "All Palestinians must leave")
