Since the state of Israel was founded by a majority vote of the US, and the Palestinian Arabs were promised a full partnership in the govt. They chose to believe the mullahs of Syria and Egypt that the war would be swift, the Jews would be pushed into the sea, and left for the refugee camps where they have been for 50 years.
What then is your justification for saying the "illegal occupation of Palestine." What international law was broken in setting up the state of Israel.
If you are refering solely to the settlements on the West Bank, then I agree with you. Otherwise, no.
If you refer to the fact that many of the original setlers came from eastern Europe, what's your point? A country has the right to set up whatever immigration policies it chooses.
It has been the dream of Jews for two thousand years to return to Jerusalem. It is, in many ways, integral to the faith. The final prayer at Passover concludes with; "Next year in Jerusalem."
But you say that they are there illegally.
Why? That's all. Why?
