After the US decided to take the step of imposing sanctions on citizens of it’s “closest friend”, Israel, it was embarrassingly discovered that they had imposed sanctions on the wrong person.
Aviad Sarid from Revava was shocked to learn the United States of America had imposed sanctions on him, even though he has nothing to do with the Tzav 9 protest group whose leaders the US was attempting to sanction. It turns out that there is another person with the same name from Revava that the US was trying to sanction.
Davidi Ben Zion, the deputy head of the Shomron Regional Council, responded: “Sarid is a resident of Shomron, an active reservist who is not involved with Tzav 9. His only ‘sin’ is that he bears a similar same name as a Tzav 9 activist. This is a crazy. Forget about the fact that Biden’s sanctions are a threat to every citizen and reservist in Israel, now an ordinary citizen is paying the price because of US harassment.”
The US also imposed sanctions on a mother of eight, Reut Ben Chaim from Ntivot, for her role in Tzav 9.
The Americans also announced the imposition of sanctions also against the Lehava organization, the Chanoch Farm, Chavat Meitarim, Nerya’s farm, Yitzchak Man, and his farm in the southern Chevron hills.
Reut Ben Haim responded to the sanctions, saying: “I only established Tzav 9 so that our hostages could come back home, because we wanted to stop this aid we are transferring, which ends up with Hamas. We also wanted to prevent our soldiers from being injured. People came from all over the Israeli society came to join us; hostage families, bereaved families, from the right and the left, they all came and we acted with zero violence, in the most legitimate action there is.”
“This is why they are now sanctioning us, me personally. The thing is that that today it’s me and tomorrow it’s you. It harms our democracy. It is a fatal blow to our security here in Israel. I call on our government to do everything to protect me legally so that this is stopped,” she added.
The Tzav 9 organization published it’s response to the sanctions, saying it: “acted within the framework of the law, in a democratic protest by the entire nation, that the aid is going directly to Hamas. The sanctions are an anti-democratic intervention in a major movement of Israeli citizens, among them families of hostages and bereaved families who oppose delivering supplies to Nukhba terrorists who slaughtered, killed and raped us on October 7th.”
“These sanctions are against each and every citizen of Israel who already wants our hostages at home. The Israeli government must protect all its democratic citizens, both with legal protection and with security protection. The Biden administration has decided to give a reward to Yahya Sinwar, and we must all stand up and protest this madness,”

Biden should resign immediately.
It’s time something was done about the people in the US government who are thwarting the progress of the geula. It’s not Biden himself. He is just a scarecrow who will soon be gone. It is the army of handlers who run him and will run some other guy named Joe after him. We don’t have a democracy, we have an administrative state that works against the will of the people.
