Legal Issues: Israel Settlements; Palestine Lands

In the news these days. Israel continues to maintain it's policy

of building settlements; 900 housing units. Protests from the U.S.,

the European Union, Britain and the Palestinians are rendered,

published and shown the world press, media.

Behind the issue of settlement constructions is the one of

Legality; whether or not the building is legal under Israel Law

and/or International Law. For years this question has been asked

and many answers given yet no solution has been found.

There is also the moral and humanitarian concerns of the building

of housing on the land the Palestinians claim as their own; and suffer

from Israel's policies of exclusion and retribution in confiscating,

evicting and demolishing their homes. These issues too have been

condemned by the International Community.

I offer here some resources regarding the LEGALITY issues

for your attention.

It is my belief that either Israel changes it's policies about settlements

on either moral or legal grounds or legal action needs to be taken against

them in International Court to prevent further building, and provide a

cooperativeframework with the Palestinians in order to foster

talks on peacemaking and the creation of a Palestinian State, which was

recently brought up to the United Nations by the Palestinians.
