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.

QED. Israeli colonies built in the WB are illegal.

Q: Does the illegality disappear *if* that territory comes under Israeli sovereignty?
A: Yes, it does.

Q: Has that happened yet?
A: No, it hasn`t.

Q: So are those colonies illegal?
A: Yes, they are.
