Israel holds itself up to be ‘a moral beacon’ in the Middle East. As such one would expect it to abide by International laws. Read the law and compare with Israeli actions and make your own judgement.
INTERNATIONAL LAW ON OCCUPATION
Belligerent occupation is governed by The Hague Regulations of 1907, as well as by The Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, and the customary laws of belligerent occupation.
Security Council Resolution 1322 (2000), paragraph 3
“Calls upon Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in a Time of War of 12 August 1949;…” Again, the Security Council vote was 14 to 0, becoming obligatory international law.”
THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS
“The occupying power must not deport or transfer parts of its civilian population into the territories it occupies.”(Article 49 Para 6 of the IVth Geneva Convention)
NB. The West Bank’s Israeli settler population has increased to to more 450,000 since 1967, and risen to 200,000 in the Golan Heights and 300,000 inEast Jerusalem. The 1993 Oslo Accords was supposed to put a stop to the Growth of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine.
“It is forbidden for an occupying state to destroy any movable or immovable private property belonging to individuals, groups, states, public authorities, social organisations or cooperatives unless military operations require such destruction.” (Article 53 of IVth Geneva Convention)
