> The territories are land assigned to Israel by the UN The Palestinian territories were never assigned to the Jewish state. The UN partition plan [1] assigned these territories to an Arab state. > It's perfectly legal and "occupation" is an anti-semite distortion by those who want Jews neither in their countries, nor in their own. The usual self-victimising propaganda. The occupied territories were never annexed by Israel. For the last 50 years (!) these territories have been under military rule. The sovereign in the occupied territories, who is an IDF general, has absolute power over Palestinians living there. Palestinians' only protection is from the Israeli supreme court, which has been legalising Israeli occupation. Meanwhile, Jewish residents living in those same territories (sometimes on land confiscated from its original Palestinian owners), enjoy the full protection of Israeli law, and all citizen and human rights afforded by Israeli law. Two ethnic groups, living in the same area, in separate communities. One group has citizen rights, the other doesn't. One group is ruled by Israeli democracy, the other is ruled by a military officer. This is _de-facto_ an apartheid regime. > Some ignorant self-hating Jews, conveniently moralize from afar...
