50. Well, then, in your argument there is no occupied territory, right?
You are only occupiers if you don't own the land, right?

Under UN Resolutions marking the borders, who are the inhabitants, and who are the occupiers of the West Bank?

The UN hasn't changed those borders. The settlements are illegal.

This discussion is in context of the 2000 Camp David talks, and my point of contention is that ANY part of the West Bank given to Israel is, under those UN Resolutions (that I referred to as international law) is a concession of the Palestinians.

As far as your assertion that there has never been a "Palestine" there, what was that part of the world called prior to 1948? The British Mandate over "what?"
