It has to be enacted and the Government is slow and stalling that. There is no reason to stall the legislation. This is a murderous regime, directed by a bloodthirsty leader, who clearly places no value on life. Israel is a rogue state purporting to be a democratic one.

I want to know the reasons we are not progressing that faster. There is no legal reason we should have any truck, support or economic involvement with illegal settlements.
