In an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin separated herself from decades of U.S. policy — which has held that Israel’s settlements in the Occupied Territories are illegitimate and an impediment to peace — saying that she thinks “Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expand”:
Well, what has "decades of U.S. policy" done for anyone here? The Israelis conquered the territory. They control it. They administer it. Why is it the US's role to dictate what they can and cannot do with it? Does Canada tell us what we can and can't do with territory acquired in the Mexican War?
It's their country, let them do what they want.
I suppose you are not aware that the entire body of international law disagrees with you on that one ... There is the legal Israeli state, and then there are the illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian territories of West Bank and Gaza - few of which have been dismantled by Sharon himself. Making the US/Mexican war comparison makes about as much sense as giving Sudetenland back to Germans (or any other pieces of land it lost after WWII).
