As it`s completely legal to settle as a Jew in Westbank or Gaza. Check UN Nations Charter, Art 80, decision of ICJ in 1950 concerning south west africa and Art. 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations,
In other words there is no occupation of a land that never existed (Palestine). There is settlements on a mandate which never ended though making it possible for Jews to live there and the Israeli state has the right to protet its citizens. The only occupiers of the region were Jordan and Egypt.
This "mandate situation" can be solved through negotiations with local Arabs, e.g. the sheikhs. An agreement with them makes peace inevitable. Perhaps room for an extra Arab state (Palestine or so).
The current path of negotiating with parties which want to wipe Israel of the map to be replaced with a country they will call Palestine, is no solution for peace in the Middle East.
The whole situation is not comparable with Tibet. Tibet never was a mandate, but an autonomous region. |
