🇪🇺🇮🇱 Europe finally banned trade with Israel's settlements, and the only country that can make Europe pay for it is the United States
Twelve governments don't move on the same day by accident.
This was months of quiet coordination, and the trigger, per Matt Duss, was settler violence so severe that Mike Huckabee, of all people, called it terrorism.
Israel can shout, close a consulate and troll Britain over the Falklands, but it can't hurt Canada, France or Spain economically.
Washington can. It did it to Ireland years ago when Dublin tried the same ban, and that's the real test now: will America go to economic war with its closest trading partners over settlements?
The answer turns on an alliance of hawks in both capitals who share one vision, America as the region's enforcer and Israel as its sheriff... a vision now dragging Washington into every fight Israel starts, from Yemen to Iran.
Meanwhile Democrats have refused to fund the war at all, calling it unauthorized, while Iranian missiles land on the bases that money would rebuild.

Building around people who already care is a completely different game.
