It is against international law to occupy contested land. That is what Israel has done for decades. spike jones Nov 2023 #32

What international law would that be? Beastly Boy Nov 2023 #45

Geneva Convention spike jones Nov 2023 #49

Which Geneva Convention? Please cite the Article(s) of the particular Geneva Convention you are referring to Beastly Boy Nov 2023 #55

I was just remembering what was written a when Rachel Corrie was killed. I have been wrong before. spike jones Dec 2023 #58

You Are Quite Right, Sir The Magistrate Dec 2023 #60

The Wikipedia article you cited mentions illegal settlements on the occupied territoties. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #61

Building settlements are not temporary, moving citizens out.... spike jones Dec 2023 #63

Correct. Building settlements is a violation of 4th Geneva Convention. Occupation is not. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #65

The Settlements, Sir, Are The Violation The Magistrate Dec 2023 #64

The post I originally replied to states: Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #66

True, Sir The Magistrate Dec 2023 #68

I qualified the occupied statement with mentioning Jewish settlements in my original post. But whatever. spike jones Dec 2023 #69

A mention of Jewish settlements doesn't make occupying contested land against international law. Beastly Boy Dec 2023 #70
