Sanctions and Sovereignty
Peloni: I would argue that the use of foreign sanctions on Israeli citizens bears a significant threat against Israel’s national sovereignty no matter the motivation for doing so. The fact that the Leftists employed these tools of coercion and penalty against the Right using the abuse of power of the American Democrats should not lead us to believe that the Right should now employ these same tools against the Left under the power of the American Republicans. Instead, I would argue that the corruption which has subverted the conservative goals of national sovereignty and consent of the governed should be resolved by a domestic movement, rather than being forced upon the Israeli nation from abroad. Or so I would argue. What do others say on this topic?
