The Fourth Geneva Convention, specifically Article 49(6), prohibits the transfer of an occupying power's civilian population into occupied territory. This is the primary legal basis for the argument that settlements are illegal. UN Condemnation: The UN Security Council and General Assembly have repeatedly passed resolutions condemning Israeli settlements, calling for their cessation and dismantling. UN Security Council Resolution 2334, for example, reaffirmed that Israeli settlements in the West Bank have "no legal validity" and "constitute a flagrant violation of international law," UN Press Releases. ICJ Opinion: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has also issued advisory opinions finding that Israeli settlements are illegal under international law. The ICJ has called on Israel to cease settlement activities and evacuate settlers. Israeli Perspective: Israel maintains that the settlements are legal, citing historical and religious ties to the land and the right to self-determination. However, these arguments are not recognized by the international community, which views the land as occupied territory. Israeli Law: While Israeli law permits settlements in the West Bank, it is not recognized as legal under international law. Israeli settlements are built on land that is considered Palestinian territory under international law.

As I've also said this Topic is about Israel and Palestine.

Deflection as usual, Nick, that is not what I said, you've brought in Aus/Us/GB not me, what I said and I quote "Yes, of course they are entitled to a National Homeland, but only if they comply with International Laws.

All very well, but this is about Israel and Palestine, so off topic and the standard its not us but everybody else ploy. The World is slowly but surely losing any sympathy it had for the Jews after the Holocaust, all because of the treatment being used on the Arabs/Palestinians by the Israeli's. The sad part of it all is, not all Jews agree with what the Israeli's are doing, but they are getting tarred with the same brush.

Exactly right, so therefore neither does Israel. So we are where we are.

Yes, of course they are entitled to a National Homeland, but only if they comply with International Laws.

Really, and yet you still support all the carnage Israel has dished out to the Arabs who've lived there for generations, even before Israel was created, and stand up for anything they do, unbelievable.

Absolute rubbish, the law is as clear as day going back to the Treaty of Versailles, where all the International law starts from in the modern era, after the Great War, WW1.

They justify it through religion, the power of the gun and the fact that the most powerful nation on earth allows them to do it through veto at the UN, all because they the US Government are under the control of powerful lobbyists in the form of AIPAC. We supported 361 pro-Israel Democratic and Republican candidates in 2024 with more than $53 million in direct support through AIPAC. We stand with those who stand with Israel. https://www.aipacpac.org/
