Very creative.

And, nonsense. By this reasoning, the US could be building villages in Japan.

"If anything, Israel (the US) has a moral, and by right of conquest, legal right to the entire West Bank (nation of Japan) and Gaza Strip (Okinawa), and if they wanted to annex it tomorrow, they could. Only political expedience, and a desire to please the U.S., has probably kept them from doing it before now. The Palestinians, from a historical standpoint, don't have a leg to stand on."

Now, as far as I know, not even the Israelis claim the settlements don't violate the international agreements which founded Israel and created the cease fire of 1967.

What's it like being that far out in front of the rest of the world?
