The fact the EU has now actually agreed on sanctions against violent Israeli settlers shows how much frustration has been building behind the scenes.
For years western governments mostly treated settlement expansion like background noise while issuing statements of concern. Now some European countries seem to be reaching the point where condemning violence without consequences just makes the criticism look performative.

As an Israeli citizen: fucking finally. There is no political will to deal with this inside of Israel. Just like with South Africa, there needs to be international sanctions that crushes the country until people understand that the status quo is monstrous.
