1. Not only not illegal...

...under International Law but ENCOURAGED by the only applicable International Law...The Mandate for Palestine. It's long overdue that those who like to call the settlements 'illegal under International Law' be challenged to actually quote the applicable law correctly. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
2. Legalize all Jewish building in Judea/Samaria NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.10.12)
Likud's Constitution makes it clear that the massive Jewish settlement of Judea and Samaria is a top priority. Judea and Samaria legally belong to Israel. The vast majority of Israel supports our claim to our more than 3,500 year old ancestral heartland. There is nothing to "discuss". Legalize all Jewish building in Judea and Samaria NOW!
3. but not as an extension of Israel
peter ,   Chicago, US   (07.10.12)
they might as well be legal in some sense, but not as an extension of the occupying power. anyhow, colonization of another country is illegal, and that is what Israel is doing, not promoting the residency of Jews simply in Palestine. It is promoting its jewish citizens to move an establish israeli colonies that are off limits to the residents in general. if it is legal, then it is imoral, imperialist and expasionist.
4. #3 They are PART of Israel
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (07.10.12)
Judea and Samaria are NOT 'another country' .They are part of the same Mandate Palestine territory as the State of Israel and were never legally detached.Judea and Samaria WERE illegally occupied....by Jordan between 1948 and 1967 after the illegal Arab League invasion in 1948,but that doesn't make them 'another country'. It was the Jordanian government that acted in an immoral,imperialist and expansionist way until they were ejected,reunifying the whole of the old Palestine Mandate territory. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
