Settlements are not just legal, but necessary

The Ulpana Outpost, Gods promised necessary settlement.

There are no alternative effective ways to prevent the conversion of the `West Bank´ [Judea & Samaria] into Hamastan.

A fascinating development this week in Israel was the release of the report of a governmental commission whose assignment had been to define the legal status of the [lyingly called] “occupied territories” for purposes of government policy. The commission was headed by Edmond Levy, an interesting former Supreme Court justice and one of the only ones who is not a judicial activist leftist.

The Obama people are upset with the report (an indication of how good it is) and Israel’s moonbat Left is positively wetting itself in anguish.

Basically the report says that the West Bank – Judea and Samaria – are not occupied territories at all but, at most, disputed territories, something like the US-Canadian border areas were during parts of North American history.

As such, there is no reason why Israel cannot build there and even seize land there under eminent domain.

There is nothing in international law that would make settlements “illegal.” And they should thus be proclaimed by Israel to be completely legal. Whether or not Israel builds settlements then becomes a matter of Israeli interests and policy, not legal obstacles.
