- Israel's
  senseless war in Gaza

- - The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza strip in the aftermath of the
    war of June 1967 had very little to do with security and
    everything to do with territorial expansionism

  - Gaza's prospects were
  - cruel case of deliberate de-development
  - Israel turned the people of Gaza into a source of cheap labour and a captive
    market for Israeli goods.

    How did they do this exactly?
  - To the world, Sharon presented
    the withdrawal from Gaza as a contribution to peace based on a two-state
    solution. But in the following year, another 12,000 Israelis settled on the
    West Bank, further reducing the scope for an independent Palestinian state.
    Land-grabbing and peacemaking are simply incompatible. Israel had a choice and
    it chose land over peace.

    Isreal attempt to peace.
  - Israel has never in its entire
    history done anything to promote democracy on the Arab side and a great deal to
    undermine it.
  - nstead, it continued to play the old game of
    divide-and-rule between rival Palestinian factions. In the late 1980s, Israel
    had supported the nascent Hamas in order to weaken Fatah.

    The actual legal framework that explains why the expansion into the West Bank is wrong and violates human rights.
- The Hague Regulations prohibit an occupying power from undertaking permanent changes in the occupied area unless these are due to military needs in the narrow sense of the term, or unless they are undertaken for the benefit of the local population.

B'Tselem - Land Expropriation and Settlements on 2009-01-12
- srael established 121 settlements in the West Bank
- 12 other settlements are located on land annexed by Israel in 1967 and made part of Jerusalem. There are an additional 100 or so unrecognized settlements, referred to in the media as “outposts.” The 16 settlements built in the Gaza Strip and three settlements in the northern West Bank were dismantled in 2005 during implementation of the "disengagement plan."

    121 Settlements(Legitimate)
    -- 12 settlements annexed by Isreal in 1967
    -- 100 additional unrecognized settlements(outpost)
    -- 16 settlements in Gaza Strip

- - Israel forbids Palestinians to enter and use these lands and uses the settlements to justify numerous violations of Palestinian rights, such as the right to housing, to earn a living, and freedom of movement.

  - To perpetuate this unlawful situation, Israel has continuously violated the Palestinians’ human rights
  - craig hancock on 2009-01-12
    
    How have human rights been violated.
  - Especially conspicuous is Israel’s manipulative use of the law to create a semblance of legality for the settlement enterprise. So long as Jordanian law assisted Israel in advancing its goals, it seized the argument that international law requires that an occupying state apply the law in effect in the territory prior to occupation, thus construing international law in a cynical and tendentious way

    THis seems the be the legal isreal took to start there settlement expansion.
