what does 1999 have to do with anything? the west bank was annexed/has been occupied/<insert your own term here> since the 1967 war. i actually could be wrong about which war exactly, but it was one of the wars in the 60's, haven't researched them in a few years. anyways, starting a settlement in the area they annexed is their right. doesn't matter when. if they went and started a settlement in, say, syria, right now, that would be an illegal settlement. i realize the west bank is considered by much of the other world as being "disputed." but A) isreal doesn't consider it such, B) the people disputing it are the people who lost the war. they can cry me a river and drown in it if they don't like it.
so again (3rd time), tell me, how is it illegal?
