Status quo of Israel’s West Bank occupation is catastrophic illusion

more illegal settlements. http://pages.citebite.com/e9p5s8u2yhcd

Palestinians have been in Palestine for thousands of years, I think you mean the Europeans should go back to Europe from whence they came.

Weird maths

saying the already determined law and UN Charter are irrelevant. Veto by a UNSC Member State would in itself be illegal under the UN Charter. Veto can only be on non-predetermined issues and/or actions which might be taken.

That's not EVEN counting the violence and vandalism by the 600,000 belligerents she planted on stolen land. Israel IS the aggressor, and the entire world community knows it.

One important distinction is the Europeans' seeming enjoyment of the rampant destruction of the sacred and and iconic olive groves. Those magnificent, centuries-old symbols of God's gifts to the region are among the most ancient and significant physical manifestations of the land in her entire 10,000 year history. Even the marauding crusaders did not destroy the ancient olive groves. When you destroy a 400-year old olive tree, you attack the land HERSELF! No indigenous person, and no Jew who lives by Jewish laws and Jewish values, and ethics could BEAR to do such a thing. It would be like tearing out his heart. The crime of destroying the olive groves BELIES the claim that the European settlers love the land. In addition, they appear the ENJOY this crime against the nature of the land. Take those people someplace where they are surrounded by cities of concrete, if not jail, THAT'S where they belong.

The ONLY alternative is one state for two people with votes for all.

Once in 2011 again in 2012 http://pages.citebite.com/e9p5s8u2yhcd I bet you'll ignore it

The only deal on the table so far as Israel and the Jews are concerned are Palestinian and Jewish majority states for the long term. If Palestinians don't like that go take it to the UN, ICC or wherever you want. It won't change the Jewish stance of keeping Israel a Jewish majority country.That is a red line for nearly all Jews.

Next Talknic will be saying, Abbas wanted peace at the Munich Olympics in 72.

by '72 Israel had already illegally acquired over half of the territory slated for the Arab state, not exactly a peaceful gesture...

Palestinian territory isn't Israel's to offer. Nor is Palestinian statehood in Palestinian territory

Listing Gavison's achievements, and how carefully she thought things thru does not make her correct. Did not Israel Give back the Sinai in 1979? Did this not show willingness to give? When Hamas changes their charter to accept Israel as neighbors, and gets Fatah on board, to offer security to Israel, then we might once again see that Israel is capable of generosity. When Hezbollah, The Muslim Brotherhood, Iranians, and Syrians amend their charters to stop teaching their children how evil Israel is, we might then see how giving Israel could be. I dream of a world where Arabs embrace Jews, and Jews embrace Arabs. For now its a fantasy. The reality is Israel is being taken to court as a criminal. What shall you expect to receive from anyone who you call a criminal? What will you yourself give, to anyone who calls you a criminal?

The only reason Israel "gave up" Gaza is that she can't afford to occupy Gaza AND the WB. The WB is the richer prize.

According to the league oF Nations mandate for Palestine in 1922' Jews could settle anywhere in 'Palestine'. The San Remo conference gave the Jews the same right. The UN confirmed the current validity of the Leagues mandate system in Chapter 80 of the UN charter, including the Mandate for Palestine. This was again confirmed by the International Court in he South West Africa case in the 1060's. Further, UNSC'S resolution 242 did not require Israel to return all the LANs captured in the June 67 war. The Oslo accords of the 1990's allowed Israel to build at will in area 'C' of the West Bank, which is where she has been building. So quite contrary to what you say, Israeli settlements in the WB is absolutely legal according to International Law.

"The Oslo accords of the 1990's allowed Israel to build at will in area 'C' of the West Bank" Twaddle

Although, the Mandate epired, the rights of the Jews yto settle in all of Palestine did not expire since 1. the Arabs refused to create a state of their own, the arabs did not recognize Israels borders,and the San remo conference conclusions are still valid. Further, UNSC decision 242 does not require Israel to return all the territories captured in 1967. I suggest you read the Oslo accords. Israel retains sovereignty over area C, which includes all Israeli settlements. This was agreed to by the PLO and Arafat.

Sorry, Mickey, but it is ISRAEL - not "the Jews" - who is the occupying power. It is therefore ISRAEL - not "the Jews" - who is prohibited from adopting a policy of colonizing an occupied territory. Yet colonize this territory it is, and that illegal act can't be "legalized" by arguing that those ISRAELI colonies are 100% stocked with Jews.

Under which International Law is it illegal?

Both Res 476 & admitedly res 242 were both decided under article 6 of the security council. All resolutions under article 6 are suggestions or recommendations which are non-binding on member states. The only binding resolutions of the Security council are taken under article 7. Therefore, Israel does not have to conform with res 476. The Oslo accords however, are signed agreements between Israel and the Palestinians and witnessed and endorsed by at least one high contracting party, Norway. These accords are fully in accordance with international Law and are binding on the signatories

Which international law exactly?
