🚨UK Declares ECONOMIC WAR on Israel Prompting Israel to Take EXTREME ACTION

The Israel Guys (0:00)

It appears that unceremoniously, the long-standing friendship between the UK and Israel has abruptly come to an end. Without any warning whatsoever, British authorities have imposed sweeping bans on trade and imports with communities across Israel's heartland, and Israel is furious. We have a lot to cover on what this means for Israel, as well as some of the really strong actions Israel is taking in response, and what it means for the future of Judea in Samaria.

So just over the last little bit, British authorities have announced that they will be banning trade with what they call Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. According to officials, this is because of what they call quote, settler terrorists carrying out ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. This accusation by the UK is absurd on its face, as we've detailed in a number of videos at this point. Violent crime committed by Jews living in Judea and Samaria, what they call the West Bank, is statistically very low. And even if you don't agree with the data that we presented on those crime numbers, saying an ethnic cleansing is happening is patently insane. And I have the data to prove it. According to the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, this year in 2026, 15 to 18 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis. But there's a key detail here. This number includes deaths in self-defense incidents that the UN deems as an inappropriate use of force, such as in their words, stone throwings or resistance to raids in Palestinian villages.

So this means that if a Palestinian is tossing baseball-sized rocks into the windshield of a car going 60 miles per hour down the road and he gets shot as a result, the UN adds it to their list as an act of settler violence. Or if an Israeli security team has to enter an Arab village to look for stolen livestock and an Arab attacks them with a knife and they defend themselves, again, this is called settler violence. But even if you do take these numbers at face value, let's say 18 Arabs were in fact murdered in cold blood by Israelis in Judea and Samaria this year, does that really qualify as genocide or ethnic cleansing? For context, there are about one to two million Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria and about three quarters of a million Israelis. This would put the supposed murder rate at almost one per 100,000, which as a stat is well below a lot of other Western countries, including the UK. But if you want to look at things more broadly, the UN is reporting that there have been a total of 1200 acts of settler violence so far in 2026

Now, as we've shown here before, this number is vastly exaggerated. Self-defense, car accidents, police arrests are all included in this number. But let's just say for the sake of conversation that this is accurate. According to publicly available data in 2025, because 2026 data isn't fully populated yet, the UK saw some 3,199 hate crimes committed against Muslims in the UK.

And again, according to the exaggerated number by the UN, settler violence incidents in Judea and Samaria comes to a total exaggerated number of 1,200. So this is not about settler violence. This is about Jews living in the land promised to them by God and flourishing, which historically the world, including now the UK, detests. Also, the UK currently has a lot of problems at home, including a quickly growing, very violent and active Muslim population. And I suspect this act is more of a move to placate that demographic than it is to protest settler violence in actuality.

According to the UK's foreign secretary, I do not believe the British people want us supporting the occupation by accepting products from settlements in our shops and supermarkets.

So in addition to the ban on imports, the UK will also be taking action against companies and individuals that provide services for community expansion in Judea and Samaria, like construction or financing. Obviously, Israel is furious. To have an ally suddenly cut off major market connections over provably allegations is maddening. Israel's security minister, Itamar Ben-Gavir, was quick to call on Bibi to close the UK's consulate in East Jerusalem. And it looks like this is actually happening. Israel's foreign minister, Gideon Saar, announced just yesterday that the consulate would in fact be shut down and British representatives at the Civil Military Coordination Center would be expelled. Also, Israel will be terminating the training of PA security forces by the UK's military in Ramallah and banning a list of British nationals with a history of anti-Semitic activity from entering Israel. In a second, we'll get into more on what this means for Judea and Samaria and the US's troubling response to this as well. But first, on October 4th, Jewish communities across Israel are going to open their Bibles back to Genesis 1 and start the whole reading cycle over again. That's called Simchat, Torah, and you can read right along with them. That's the day the reading plan starts in our Daily Bible journal. Every single day, you read one portion from the Torah, one from the prophets, one from the writings, and one from the New Testament with blank lines to write down what you're seeing. Our team has used these for years. You can grab one now. Like everything in our store, the proceeds go straight to our volunteer work on the ground in Israel.
