Jewish Americans sue Biden admin over 'unconstitutional, unprecedented' sanctions regime

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Kontorovich previously argued that "violence" is defined by anti-Israel groups and can be applied to Jews who defend themselves in the face of a Palestinian attacker in an "arbitrary" way by relying on data from the website of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), categorizing acts of self-defense by Jews and anti-terror operations by the Israel Defense Forces as settler violence, according to the lawsuit.JEWISH HIGH SCHOOLERS FIGHT HATE WITH COMMUNITY SUPPORT, FACE NARROWING PROSPECTS FOR COLLEGIATE FUTURE
42% : For example, the suit states, after a Palestinian was shot dead after breaking onto a Jewish farm in the northern West Bank armed with a knife and explosives, the UN labeled him a victim of "settler violence.""This is all the more striking because there are thousands of Palestinians who have engaged in terrorist attacks on Jewish civilians that unquestionably threaten the 'peace, security, or stability of the West Bank,'" the lawsuit adds.
40% : EO 14115 authorizes financial sanctions on "foreign person[s]" who take actions that conflict with the Biden administration's policy in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, but the lawsuit argues that the only individuals these provisions have been applied to are Jews.
33% : Additionally, the lawsuit criticizes the State Department for its lack of investigation into the alleged claims, arguing that they instead relied almost entirely on biased reports made by radical anti-Israel groups full of demonstrably false allegations.
