"The Biden administration has carried out this sanctions program with scant regard for the underlying facts and scant independent investigation, relying instead on the say-so of virulently anti-Israel groups in order to impose life-changing penalties on people," Eugene Kontorovich, a legal consultant on the lawsuit and a professor at George Mason University Law School, told the Washington Free Beacon.
Because the sanctions are based on an executive order by President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump could reverse them after he takes office on Jan. 20. But the lawsuit is about more than sanctions relief for the plaintiffs. It also takes aim at the notion, pushed by a global network of anti-Israel organizations, that the settlements are a root cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"These groups have basically co-opted the State Department to help them make Judea and Samaria ‘judenrein,’" Kontorovich said, using the biblical name for the West Bank. "That’s what they’re trying to achieve."

Joe Biden is an anti-Israel guy just like his former boss Barry. He hates that nation with a passion that should be reserved for our enemies. Unfortunately, out enemies appear to be Biden's friends.

LTC Stephen C. Oh, I remember that and I still cringe at it. Thanks Barry, but my First Amendment says otherwise.

Biden was never a smart man (which likely explains his political successes - he could engage in unethical behavior without realizing it). Now demented, he is ever more easily manipulated (especially when cash is waved in his direction). Yes, Israel has employed some questionable strategies in dealing with the terrorists. And yes, the terrorists have used innocent civilians as shields in their campaign to destroy Israel and murder its entire population (openly stated goals). Sadly, by sanctioning Israel without just cause, we have diminished our own power to effect a resolution to Middle East problems. Hopefully, President Trump will be able to restore America's position as a peacemaker (which he did quite effectively during his first Administration).
