Under international law a country that has seized territory by military force and occupies that land, is not permitted to move parts of it's own civilian population into that territory.
Israel attacked it's neighbors in 1967 and seized the West Bank and Gaza by military force. The Israeli government has since, illegally moved many thousands of Israelis into settlements in those territories that it rules by military force. The vast majority of those living in the West Bank and Gaza are Palestinians, despite this, they cannot vote for those who control almost every aspect of their existence, the Israeli military and government. The reason that there is no Palestinian State is because Israeli leaders ignore international law and appear willing to sacrifice endless numbers of Palestinians and their own citizens in a conquest of land. The U.S. government doesn't help as they give millions of dollars per day to Israel with virtually no strings attached and repeatedly veto United Nations Security Council resolutions which criticize illegal actions by the government of Israel.
In violation of international law, Israel has militarily seized and occupies territory, has moved parts of it's civilian population into these territories, extrajudicially executed Palestinians without trial, systematically abused Palestinians human rights in territory occupied and controlled by Israel....All this while as the occupiers, under international law, Israel is obligated to protect the civilian population living under their military rule.
