Rant all you want about the Green Line not being a national border, and you are doing nothing but miss the point, Jeff.
The illegality of building colonies in the West Bank is anchored on the fact that under int`l law you can`t build colonies on territory that you hold under belligerent occupation.
The issue is purely TERRITORY, Jeff.
Q: Is the WB under Israeli occupation? A: Yes, it is.

Q: Has that happened yet? A: No, it hasn`t.
Q: So are those colonies illegal? A: Yes, they are. |
