Accusing Israel of "illegal occupation" is a bullshit charge. You cannot occupy what is already yours. This analysis clearly points out legal and compelling reasons why it is incorrect to consider the territories occupied by Israel. (Israel holds the deed) Furthermore, settlements should be immediately annexed to make that claim obvious and all belligerent Arabs should be removed from those areas where they are a threat to Israel's existence and well-being. Describing the territories as "Palestinian" may serve the political agenda of one side in the dispute, but it prejudges the outcome of future territorial negotiations that were envisioned under UN Security Council Resolution 242. It also represents a total denial of Israel's fundamental rights. Furthermore, reference to "resisting occupation" has simply become a ploy advanced by Palestinian and Arab spokesmen to justify an ongoing terrorist campaign against Israel, despite the new global consensus against terrorism that has been formed since September 11, 2001.
