If I asked you to cut off your arm, would you do it?
What if I pointed out that that your arm regularly punched a neighbour in the face so violently that it broke their nose and teeth, and left them unconscious ? Would you cut your arm off then?
I'm guessing the answer to both questions is a firm, "No."
Which is exactly why the European Union, Britain and the United States have precisely no intention of severing their support for Israel's illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, however violent the Jewish colonisers who live on stolen Palestinian land prove to be.
