In reply to the discussion: Palestinian village undergoing 'ethnic cleansing' by Israel [View all]Little Tich
(6,171 posts)63. Not a single settler has a right to live in the West Bank or EJ,
their presence is illegal and they should go back, every single one of them, to their own country. There are no legal settlements whatsoever.
There is no way that the rights of the civilian population under occupation can be somehow compared to the non-existent rights of the population transferred into occupied territory by the occupier.
There are like 600.000 thousand settlers now, and they have to go home now. They have no more rights than any other tourist to stay, regardless whether they arrived with the occupying forces or not.
It doesn't help that there is an apartheid system in the WB and EJ, where Israelis (Jews) have all rights and the Palestinians have no civil rights whatsoever.
