United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334
The resolution states that Israel's settlement activity constitutes a "flagrant violation" of international law and has "no legal validity". It demands that Israel stop such activity and fulfill its obligations as an occupying power under the Fourth Geneva Convention.[2][3]

Erm.. The Israelis are not the Israelites of the Bible. They are the mixed descendants of some of the priests of one tribe that were taken as slaves to Babylon. The rest of the Israelites 12 tribes were wiped out. You do understand that this means that no women of the tribes survived to carry on the blood line? They are not Gods chosen people.
Prejudice is still prejudice whether spreading mayonnaise or mustard on it- causes a bad taste in my mouth. Peace is the prize and it's meant to be enjoyed by everyone.

If you think countries should be above the law seperate people based on race / colour of belief then it looks to me like your a racist.
So please go on and continue defend apartheid. Your doing your cause a disservice

Are you saying that the people of Israel have the right to sovereignty but the people of Palestine do not. What in your opinion makes them sub worthy of self determinate rule?
Palestine is a geographical name for the region to be identified by tax collecting administration and does not refer to anyone to claim possession especially by race, as people who lived in the region from six thousand years ago to Herodotus are not racially identified.

sorry i am looking at the map and i do not see a palestine
its Israel
There's a reason for that.
BOOM! There you go... racist now... I guess you are done in the debate as that seems to be the last thing spoken when people run out of logical replies... How do you not understand they want their own country right in the middle of an another. They do not want to join Israel they want Israel gone just like all the other Arabs do. Iran dumps billions into them to keep the fight going. As to Israel being racist... over 30% of the country is Arab or other non-Jew and they get along just find. One needs to ask then why not with those living in the West Bank?

Wtf you on about if yo defend state racism then by default make you a racist. Sorry thats your call.
Look has it not occurred to you that when the whole world thinks you may be being an asshole than it may have some semblance of truth to it.
The Palastine people are equals if you like or not. Stop keeping the area in a continual state of poverty. Thats policy for Palastine. If in doubt go and check out the Wikileaks they got some good leaks on it.
Maybe some 'Arabs' do want to wipe you off the map maybe foreign policy should be addressed. Content to sit there in a distablised middle east which it has helped orchestrate the creation of.
Or what about Israelis arrested 91near George Washington Bridge and then later released with a news black out. Something used to create further destabilisation in the middle east.
Go and check it out if your interested.
Israel was given land when the Israeli State was created. We can debate the rights and wrongs of that all day, but that was a UN decision, not agressive invasion by Israel.

Palestinian people? You mean Jews and Arabs living together prior to the 2nd World War, right?

No I mean the people that are living there now. Why do people have a problem with the word Palestine. Its as if they want it removed from the dictionary or something?
