I imagine the IDF will appeal to the Supreme Court as to the security-related necessity of the outposts. Peace Now, the incessant pests pushing for dismantlement of the settlements, just try to stir up trouble to justify their existence. Too bad Hamas hasn't hit them with rockets.

Imagine all you want. We deal in facts here. From the article about the High Court asking for clarification about why their order is not being implemented: "Defense Minister Ehud Barak announced in 2008 he was extending (delaying) the orders' validity for a further year. He said this was in order to reach an agreement with settler leaders." In other words, to avoid a confrontation with the settlers. (See: Amona) Nothing about "security" -- this is strictly a political issue. You know something, marc39, the more I read your posts, the more I wonder what dog you have in this fight. You never answered me about your specific interests about Israel. Do you have relatives there? Business investments? |

Much of what I've read, thus far, are anything but facts. Maybe there's a special place where facts are required that I'm missing.

And, since you're so concerned about illegal settlements, do, too, apply that concern to illegal Palestinian settlements. Last time I had checked, the West Bank was "disputed" territory, not Palestinian territory. |

Lonewulf, that irony meter reminds me of the famous scene in "THIS IS SPINAL TAP" film, where the explanation is given for the special amplifiers they use, with 11 on the dials.
(obscure reference to a cult movie) Anyway, marc39, you posted this: "the settlements are not illegal, unless you can provide legal proof they are." The Israeli Supreme Court is a pretty legitimate legal source, I'm sure you will agree, and they are indeed saying that some settlements (as named) are illegal. I was just pointing that out to you. I have nothing more to add. Carry on. |

All I can say is "wow" -- In post 205, you got a clear indication that some settlements are illegal.
In post 208, you ignore the evidence and return to the meme that they are all legal. I thought we were done, but I guess not. Look, let me help everyone out: The problem here is one of what are considered "settlements" ---- For instance, the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. That is technically a 'settlement' because it lies within an area that was captured in June 1967. By all proper definitions, the Old City is part of the West Bank. Including the Western wall itself. The Israelis know that they'll at some point be required to do something about the 'settlements' ---- and there is a specific Hebrew name for the program envisioned: "Hitnatkut" (Sometimes called realignment or 'disengagement') Some of the major settlement communities will end up being annexed and made part of the State of Israel officially. Some will be dismantled and yet others will end up as part of a NewPalestine State. |

Anti-Israel?
I am an Israeli. My 'agenda' is to attempt to correct the record here at JREF if there seems to be something offered here that is clearly bogus. Your posting on this forum about settlements not being "illegal" was in error. You have been proved to be in error. Not all settlements are legal. |

Webfusion is "anti-Israel"?????????????????? he is anything but. what is your definition of "anti-Israel"??? it appears to be "anyone who disagrees with right-wing Neo-Zionist beliefs and agendas". how pathetic. how ridiculous. how dishonest. oh, and btw, the Jewish settlements in the WB are illegal. |

I have no doubt the Yale School of Law knows the definition of a war crime, however, you do not, or else, you would have been able to offer a definition without needing to cut and paste from an outside source. Still, the definition is not complete. Fail, again...and, again, and, again...

Its funny watching Parky76 pontificating about the rights and wrongs of Israels fight for survival in the middle east, whilst sat at home on his computer in the US.
