Whose land is it?

You have to violate someone's law for something to be illegal.

HTH.

Well, Israel's own laws, if you want to get stupid about it. And 99% of the time Israel does nothing about it.


It also violates the laws of the 1948 un partition.

So it's Israels land then. Which Israeli law does it violate?

Israel's unwillingness to do anything about the illegal settlements is its biggest moral failing.


What makes these settlements illegal?

What law are they violating?





Their original borders and even their post '67 borders don't include this area, they stole it fair and square and are doing their best to starve the Palestinians out.

It isn't Israel's land. That's the whole point. Even ISRAEL doesn't say it's Israel's land.

So you think they're violating a Palestinian law?

It's weird that all the people who say it's illegal can't point to a specific law that is being violated.

They are violating pretty much everyone's laws. International law, israeli law (which doesn't let people settle in the occupied territories, because they're military zones), palestinian law (which doesn't let random people just come and randomly claim land in their territory). It would be hard to find a relevant community whose laws they ARN'T violating.
