Here are all the links that prove to the blowhards above who claim it's just a teensey-weensey bit of land that the Palestinians own in the settlements or O.T., or like Richard who suggests title is somehow a gentleman's agreement or consent.

According to 2006 Israeli report which I cite above , the report notes that 1.3 percent of the settlement areas is "Jewish land."

Bullshit. Do your homework. January 30, 2009 ”Secret database shows Israeli government to be active partner in settlement landgrab“ Ha'aretz has busted open a huge story today: "Secret Israeli database reveals full extent of illegal settlement." The story outlines a database created by the Israeli defense establishment to gather: “credible and accessible information at the ready to contend with legal actions brought by Palestinian residents, human rights organizations and leftist movements challenging the legality of construction in the settlements and the use of private lands to establish or expand them.” The article adds, "the painstakingly amassed data was labeled political dynamite."

West Bank Settlements Often Use Private Palestinian Land, Study Says By Scott Wilson Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, November 22, 2006; Page A17 JERUSALEM, Nov. 21 -- An Israeli advocacy group has found that 39 percent of the land used by Jewish settlements in the West Bank is private Palestinian property, which the organization contends is a violation of international and Israeli law guaranteeing property rights in the occupied territories. In a report released here Tuesday, the Settlement Watch project of Peace Now also disclosed that much of the land that Israeli officials have said would remain part of the Jewish state under any final peace agreement is private Palestinian property. That includes some of the large settlement blocs inside the barrier that Israel is building to separate Israelis from the Palestinian population in the West Bank. The report states that 86 percent of Maale Adumim on Jerusalem's eastern edge sits on private Palestinian land. A little more than 35 percent of the settlement of Ariel, which cuts deep into the northern West Bank, is also on private property. [...] The report defines private property in the West Bank as land registered by Palestinians before 1968, when Israel stopped the process. . . .The report notes that 1.3 percent of the settlement areas is "Jewish land."

I will repeat however it is my contention that the land is not occupied and also not in violation of the 4th Geneva convention. Tell that to the UN. UN Resolution 242 (1967) of 22 November 1967 ”Calls for the withdrawal of Israel armed forces from Palestinian and other territories occupied in the 1967 war“ CONVENTION (IV) RELATIVE TO THE PROTECTION OF CIVILIAN PERSONS IN TIME OF WAR Signed at Geneva, 12 August 1949 The Israelis will not allow the right of return. That's a violation of the 4th Geneva Convention. Look it up. You're babbling nonsense.

Jews have the ”Right to Exist.“ Israel does not. It earns its nationhood just like every other country on the planet.

Title rights are constructed by a "reasonable man" test of consent. No they're not. The NYT wrote an article about the Land Authority thingey in Israel having the clear deeds on file. Clear ownership of the land by Palestinians in a database, and the Israelis built settlements on top of these Palestinian lands anyway.

Eitan, UN partition plan was rejected by Arabs. The land is Jewish and therefore not occupied Bullshit. If the plan was rejected, the land remains Arab.

(1) It's occupied. They are called the Occupied Territories. (2) Jews are not allowed to take land in occupied territory. So says the UN that sliced up Palestine in the first place. So says international law. (3) Palestinians own the majority of land in the OT. Christians, Muslims, and pre-1948 Jews. (4) What business is it of yours to seek reciprocity for anyone else's demise? Since when are you judge and jury?

Germany was torn apart after World War II. There was no "right" to do so; it was simply what the victors decided to do with their spoils.
