Sanctioning Hypocrisy in the West Bank The UK, France, and Canada's decision to block imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank has sparked a heated debate about the nature of international law and the role of Western powers in resolving the long standing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that these sanctions are motivated by domestic politics rather than a genuine commitment to justice.
