Who are these "others" who disagree with the UN Security Council, the United Nations General Assembly, the ICRC, the international Court of Justice and the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention?

Who are these "others"
===================
Israel, lawyers specializing in international law, and people like myself who actually read the laws involved - unlike certain intellectually lazy people who refuse to actually read the law and form their own opinion , and prefer just to quote the opinions of others. Laws in general, and international law in particular, can be interpreted in more than one way.

The so called Green Line has never been recognized as an international border. Border disputes re decided through negotiation and mutual agreement. Ccatw, no matter how hard you search, you will never find a legal decision designating the Green Line and an international border, and you certainly will not find a ruling designating Jerusalem as a divided city.

The United Nations Security Council, the United Nations General Assembly, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Court of Justice and the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention have all confirmed that Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territory are illegal as they are in breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
No amount of PR can change reality.

You never answered my question. How is it "Palestinian territory" if they never had sovereignty over it?

Forget it, ZedisDead. I have been trying to get catw to answer my questions for years without success, as you can see. All he/she does is spew his/her biased agenda based on the opinions of others. Apparently he/she can't think for himself/herself, so that when one points out a fact which does fit his/her agenda, he/she is 'lost'.

How come there's a "Palestinian territories" thread on this forum and on all travel forums online if the Palestinian territory "does not exist"?
Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live in peace. Sadly they will never be able to enjoy peace as long as some extremists deny the existence of either the Israeli or the Palestinian people, as you do.

I see that you have changed your mind: it isn't the UN, etc, that determines international borders, it's the travel forums !!!!!!
Are we supposed to take you seriously ?

Who needs to go to Israel to see the conflicts there? Can we at least be free of it on LP! Stand back from the world globe by about 3 feet and realise that there is a lot bigger world than just your little bit of dirt. Get over it!
