(35,955 posts)Of course I believe the West Bank is occupied and Israel has no right to construct its illegal settlements there. It's not an extreme view, not like the view of someone who states that Israel owns all the land east of the Jordan. In fact, the view I hold would be the same view held by the vast majority of DUers, so I'm at a loss as to why you appear to be now claiming that thinking the West Bank is occupied is a 'rubbish greater Israel settler view'. That makes no sense, seeing as the settlers and their supporters believe everything West of the Jordan is part of Israel...
Also, Israelis (we're talking about Israel and Israelis, not Jews) don't have a right to any land here. That's because Israel has to abide by the same set of international laws as every other country is expected to and its citizens don't just get to up and settle wherever they want outside of Israel.
