96. Again
You're back to the point which The Magistrate above commented on where some people are allowed to get away with a crime while others are not. Doesn't detract that a crime was not committed. Israel can do what they want, but it will cost them in terms of global standing and in how it affects their own internal definition and practice of Democracy. Other countries such as China and Russia certainly do things which are also illegal, but the costs they pay to their internal systems and to their Global standings are far different and relatively smaller than what Israel pays.

Also, are you suggesting that Israeli settlements in the WB have remained purely on land which was under Jewish ownership/occupancy at the start of events in 1947? I find such a notion to be fantastic given the volume of settlements. Didn't an Israeli General spend a rather lengthy period of time in a plane out on a tarmac when he received word that he was about to be served arrest papers? You don't think that this type of action will only increase?
