Thread Name: BS: Palestinian Negotiation
Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian Negotiation
number 6, the occupation is against the Geneva Convention, the United Nations Charter (the very United Nations that people such as yourself use as legal justification for Israel's existance), as well as many other international treaties to which Israel is a signatory. According to these legally binding agreements, it is illegal to take territory by conquest.

I am most certainly not defending Hamas, nor terrorism of any form. This includes terrorism as practiced by Israel. I believe in the Rule of Law for everyone, applied equally. You, on the other hand, by defending Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, are defending terrorism.

As I said in my first post to this thread, had Israel obeyed the rule of law, and retreated to the pre-1967 borders (and left the Palestinians in peace), Hamas would not be in power in Palestine today.
