Israeli illegal settlements

[fanger]

The Israeli parliament has given preliminary approval to a controversial bill that would legalise thousands of homes built in the occupied West Bank.

The bill's main backer, Education Minister Naftali Bennett, called it the start of Israel's annexation of most of the territory, which is disputed between Israelis and Palestinians.

Critics of Israel and Palestinians have called it a land grab.
A clause mentioning Amona by name has since been deleted, meaning that this area will not be legalised. It is due to be evacuated on 25 December.

Amona
is an Israeli outpost in the central West Bank. Located on a hill overlooking Ofra within the municipal boundaries of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council, the village was founded in 1995 on privately owned Palestinian land.

Funny word in this context.

There is no way this will be recognized internationally.

Why would it need to be?

Well I guess it doesn't 'need' to be from the point of view of an Israel supported by the US, but not being regarded as a pariah nation would be in Israel's greater interest one would think.

Jewish settlers, who claim a divine right to the whole of Israel, now control more than 42 per cent of the occupied West Bank, representing a powerful obstacle to the creation of a Palestinian state, a new report has revealed.

The jurisdiction of some 200 settlements, illegal under international law, cover much more of the occupied Palestinian territory than previously thought. And a large section of the land has been seized from private Palestinian landowners in defiance even of an Israeli supreme court ruling,

Under international law, any Jewish settlements built on occupied territory are illegal. These include all the settlements in the West Bank, and thousands of Jewish homes in East Jerusalem, the Arab-dominated sector of the city annexed by Israel after the 1967 Six Day War. The international community still regards East Jerusalem as occupied territory.

Israel took and holds the territory by military force.

Nobody has posted anything to prove otherwise.

By treaty, Israel has full civilian control over Area C pending negotiations on permanent status. So what's the problem here?

Control is a term of occupation.

Its the terms of the treaty.

If the Palestinians want new terms, they need to negotiate a new treaty.

Exposed: The truth about Israel's land grab in the West Bank

Israel is a scofflaw rogue state which has no regard for international law. Although all the settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem are illegal, the Israelis have lived with this for decades. For them, what other countries think has been disregarded. The moral of this is that the Israelis can virtually annex all of the West Bank and while international diplomats might find this disturbing, they will do nothing. It is actions which count for the Israelis so without any international sanctions against Israel the opportunity for a two-state solution has passed. The Israelis never wanted a Palestinian state as a neighbor and they are sure that it will never happen now.

In essence, this new bill will retroactively legalize the occupation of private Palestinian land in the West Bank by settlements declared illegal even by Israeli law. This is a de facto annexation of land all over the West Bank in similar fashion as the annexation of East Jerusalem. The original sponsor of the bill, Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home party, described the proposed law as shifting from a path toward a Palestinian state toward one of extending Israeli territory. What is to become of the Palestinians now, one must ask.

Control is a term of occupation.

Actually, control is also a term of self-defense from Islamic terrorism.

 

[RoccoR]

P F Tinmore, et al,

Well this is not accurate.

By treaty, Israel has full civilian control over Area C pending negotiations on permanent status. So what's the problem here?

Control is a term of occupation.

(COMMENT)

Control is NOT a "term of occupation." One of several elements of of an occupation is "effective control."

Shusha was using the same word as OSLO II uses. "Control"

EXAMPLES:

The Council may form small committees to simplify the proceedings of the Council and to assist in controlling the activity of its Executive Authority.

The Palestinian Police shall consist of one integral unit under the control of the Council. It shall be composed of six branches:

Tourists to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip from countries having diplomatic relations with Israel, who have passed through an international crossing, will not be required to pass any additional entry control before entry into Israel.

Israel shall retain control over this crossing point and operate it in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

Most Respectfully,

Who gives a shit? When russia exits georgia, crimea, ukraine, syria... When iran exits lebanon, iraq, bahrain, gaza... when assad gets the fuck out of syria and is hanged at the hague - THEN I might give a rat's ass about what the "international community" - whatever the fuck that is, recognizes.

 

[rhodescholar]

Jewish settlers, who claim ...

Yes let's talk about "settlers" you fucking turd, let's talk about how the arab muslims in the west bank are 2nd/3rd generation egyptians, syrian and jordanians who moved there to work on jewish farms.

C-nts like you think that the whole fucking world is going to be like Lebanon, where the muslims moved en masse and then took over once they outbred the locals. Well guess what, arab muslim trash - that shit ain't gonna happen, ever. Your filthy kind moved into the WB and into Israel at the same time the jews did, and if Israel decides it has had enough of arab muslim terrorism and BS - then those arab muslims are the fuck out, its really that simple. Same goes for the rest of the world.
