The Irish Times article says "The international Community considers all of the 121 West Bank Settlements, home to 350,000 Israelis, to be illegal under international law."
The opposition party leader says, The decision to include settlements whose legal status are clouded by doubt, to the map of national properties, is a targeted effort to prevent the peace efforts and will encourage settlers to continue to violate the law".
Wouldn't the first step in defending these actions be to show us how neither is the case?
