Palestinian territoriesb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

("Possession is nine-tenths of the law") The Palestinians counter this claim by saying that Israel is controlling the territoriesb> unjustly by denying its residents the right to self-determination, and some deny the validity of the Israeli nation entirely.
The Palestinian territoriesb> are geographic areas in the Middle East captured by Israel in the Six-day War of 1967 whose status is pending the conclusion of negotiations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Third, the Palestinians argue that their claims to the land would be much more amenable were it not for Israel's establishing of "facts on the ground" since 1967, which included land confiscation and building of Jewish settlements or separation barriers on land previously owned by Palestinians and making these lands off-limits to them.

British Empire - Open Encyclopedia

These interests explain the apparent contradictions of British policy in China: Britain provided the Qing dynasty with aid during the Taiping rebellion, but at the same time, in alliance with France, engaged in the Second Opium War against the Qing court.
This trade created a bilateral trade deficit which the British sought to resolve by exporting opium from India to China, despite opposition among Chinese officials to the trade.
British withdrawal from the southern and eastern parts of Africa was complicated by the region's white settler populations: Kenya had already provided an example in the Mau Mau Uprising of violent conflict exacerbated by white landownership and reluctance to concede majority rule.

The Israeli government stated that the objectives of operations in the Palestinian Territoriesb> were to arrest or kill Palestinian militants and seize their weapons.
The most significant factor in the decline in the Palestinian economy that has led to a worsening of the humanitarian situation, is thus the closure of roads and movement restrictions throughout the occupied Palestinian territoriesb>.

Human Rights Watch World Report 2001: Israel, The Occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Palestinian Authority Territoriesb>: Human Rights Developments

An unusually large number of Palestinians were present at the mosque to protest a visit the previous day by Knesset Member Ariel Sharon, interpreted by many as an assertion of Israeli sovereignty over the area.
Close to one thousand Palestinian prisoners participated in a month-long hunger strike in May, protesting arbitrary treatment by prison officials, substandard prison conditions, prohibitions on family visits, use of solitary confinement, poor medical care, and Israel's refusal to release all the categories of prisoners specified in its agreements with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
According to the Palestinian human rights group Law in the Service of Man (al-Haq), P.A. police arrested Bahar on May 25, apparently without a warrant, and his family was prevented from visiting him.

BBC NEWS Middle East Country profiles Country profile: Israel and Palestinian territoriesb>

Palestinian media outlets were badly damaged by Israeli military operations in the wake of the second intifada.
Former Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, the candidate of the Fatah faction, won the January 2005 poll to replace the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
Mr Abbas established contacts with left-wing Israelis in the 1970s, and was the main Palestinian architect of the 1993 Oslo accords, which led to the foundation of the Palestinian Authority.

israelinsider: Views: The Disputed Territoriesb> are not Occupied

Arguing that these disputed territoriesb> are "occupied", or that the so-called "settlements" are illegal, is largely part of a perpetual political propaganda campaign launched by the Arab League, a la the Nazi technique that if you repeat a lie often enough, eventually people will believe it.
The territoriesb> of Gaza, Judea and Samaria (wrongfully called the "West Bank") are orphaned portions of the Palestine Mandate that, since 1948, have never been allocated to a sovereign nation (on that note, there has never ever been a sovereign Arab nation-state of Palestine) or assigned fixed boundaries.
The disputed territoriesb> of Judea, Samaria and Gaza were occupied by Egypt and Jordan illegally for nineteen years, from May 1948 through June 1967.

Israel/Occupied Territoriesb>: The fence/wall violates international law - news.amnesty - Amnesty International

The construction of the fence/wall inside the Occupied Territoriesb> is such a measure and in its present configuration it violates Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law," said Amnesty International.
The route of the fence/wall has been designed to encompass more than 50 Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territoriesb>, in which the majority of Israeli settlers live and which are illegal under international law.
It imposes unprecedented disproportionate and discriminatory restrictions on their movements within the Occupied Territoriesb> and causes other violations of their fundamental rights, including the right to work, to food, to medical care, to education and to an adequate standard of living.

Remarks With Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas After Their Meeting

President, you have been able to attain a cease-fire agreement by the Palestinian factions, and you have repeatedly confirmed during you election campaign the need to stop the militarization of intifada and on the Palestinians willingness to participate in the political process with the Israelis.
I do believe its most important that the Israelis and the Palestinians have security cooperation that is bilateral, that is strong, that is robust, that is dealing with most of the problems.
This is a time of hope, a time when we can hope for a better day for the Palestinian and the Israeli people both.

PCHR Weekly Reoprt

Following the attack, IOF claimed that they targeted a number of members of the Palestinian resistance, but preliminary investigations conducted by PCHR refute this claim as all victims of the attack were children working on their agricultural land.
This week, IOF at stable military checkpoints around the city imposed severe restrictions on the movement of Palestinian civilians, contrary to Israeli claims regarding facilitations of movement on the eve of the Palestinian presidential election.
Ten Palestinians, including 2 children, one of whom was mentally disabled, were killed by IOF that launched a wide scale offensive on Khan Yunis on 30 and 31 December 2004.

Manas: History and Politics, British India

Delhi was recaptured by British troops in late 1857, the Emperor Bahadur Shah, last of the Mughals, was put on trial for sedition and predictably convicted, and by mid-1858 the Rebellion had been entirely crushed.
Certain Indian social or religious practices that the British found to be abhorrent were outlawed, such as sati in 1829, and an ethic of 'improvement' was said to dictate British social policies.
n 1757, on account of the British victory at Plassey, where a military force led by Robert Clive defeated the forces of the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-daulah, the East India Company found itself transformed from an association of traders to rulers exercising political sovereignty over a largely unknown land and people.

ISRAELI SETTLEMENTSIN THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORIESb>

The Israeli policy of settlement in the Occupied Palestinian Territoriesb> is claimed on the basis of historical and religious rights and ownership of the Jewish people vis a vis the land of “Eretz Israel”.
Among these issues were the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territoriesb>, which were built and expanded by successive Israeli governments throughout the over thirty years of the Israeli Occupation.
According to figures released on 20 February 2000 by the Council for Jewish Settlements, the population of Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territoriesb> grew by 12.5 percent in 1999, the highest growth rate recorded in recent years.

Palestinian Descent into Chaos - article by Daniel Pipes

Cox News Service notes that, "as the disorder spreads, Palestinian intellectuals and politicians are increasingly looking past Israel as the usual scapegoat and admitting they share a part of the blame." National Public Radio quotes a Palestinian saying that the PA is in trouble "because many people are being killed or kidnapped or robbed.
As explained by the Washington Post, "the Palestinian Authority is broke, politically fractured, riddled with corruption, unable to provide security for its own people and seemingly unwilling to crack down on terrorist attacks against Israel." One unnamed Fatah member estimates that 90 percent of gang activity is carried out by Palestinian Authority employees.
But to emerge from their political predicament requires Palestinians coming to terms with the existence of the Jewish state of Israel.

He wants the utter military obliteration of the Palestinians; indeed, from the Muslim world, his racism is about as blatant as that of the Holocaust denying Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
But now that the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) elections of January 25th, 2006, are over, we can officially turn off the lights on the agreement that, along with the first U.S. invasion of Iraq in 1991, has led to, arguably, the most difficult period in the modern history of Palestinian and Arab World politics.

Israeli Jewish peace activists and democrats have a democratic duty to remove the undemocratic burden of oppression from the Palestinian Arabs, and to create conditions where all Palestinians can freely exercise their right to self-determination.
For elections to a sovereign, democratic constituent assembly (ijtima'a ta'sisi, or majlis ta'sisi) to determine the future of the country and its people.

F L A M E : Myths About Israel and the Middle East (1): Do the media feed us fiction, instead of fact?

Reality: The concept of Palestinian nationhood is a new one and had not been heard of until after the Six-Day War (1967), when Israel, by its victory, came into the administration of the territoriesb> of Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank") and the Gaza Strip.
That territory contained some of the most advanced military installations in the world, prosperous cities and settlements, and oil field developed entirely by Israel that made it independent of petroleum imports.
Fewer than 150,000 Jews are settled in these territoriesb>, living among about 1.4 million Arabs.

The "Occupied Territoriesb>": A Primer

Third, the use of "occupied Palestinian territoriesb>" denies any Israeli claim to the land: had the more neutral language of "disputed territoriesb>" been used, then the Palestinians and Israel would be on an even playing field with equal rights.
In fact, prior to 1967, Jordan had occupied the West Bank and Egypt had occupied the Gaza Strip; their presence in those territoriesb> was the result of their illegal invasion in 1948, in defiance of the UN Security Council.
The use of "occupied Palestinian territoriesb>" denies any Israeli claim to the land.

The term "Palestinian territory" is often avoided for political reasons by supporters of Israel and other Zionists — centrally that Israel naturally does not want to unilaterally compromise its own interests by politically legitimizing any Palestinian claims to land within the boundaries of Israel.

Occupied Territoriesb>

But, in a way, the Israeli territoriesb> of Judea and Samaria are "Occupied Territoriesb>"; yes, illegally occupied by Arabs (so-called "Palestinians"), who have obtained the right to rule on cities like Hevron, Bet-Lechem, Nablus (Samaria) and other cities that historically belong to Canaan and Israel.
In fact, not all the territoriesb> they claim to be Kurdistan belongs to them: part of these lands are Assyria, and another part should be given back to Armenia.
The Shoah became a reason by which the nations were no longer able to deny Jews' right to their own homeland, and the British Mandate had to hand over the remainder of that country to the people of Israel.

The Myth of "Occupied" Territoriesb>

With the disbanding of the League of Nations, the rights of the Jews to settle the territoriesb> of Palestine, including Yesha, were not hurt.
The truth of the matter is that, according to international law, the Jews have the complete and unquestionable right to settle the territoriesb> of Judea, Samaria and Gaza (collectively known as Yesha).
One of the most misused, misapplied, and misunderstood definitions in the dictionary of the Arab-Israeli conflict is the term "occupied territoriesb>." The vast majority of people simply do not know the facts or misinterpret them, thus completely distorting the real picture of the land distribution between the Arabs and the Jews.

"Occupied Territoriesb> or Disputed Territoriesb>?"

Taken together with UN Security Council Resolution 338, it became clear that only negotiations would determine which portion of these territoriesb> would eventually become "Israeli territoriesb>" or territoriesb> to be retained by Israel's Arab counterpart.
Describing these territoriesb> as "Palestinian" may serve the Palestinians' political agenda but prejudges the outcome of future territorial negotiations that were envisioned under UN Security Council Resolution 242.
It also serves the current Palestinian effort to obtain international affirmation of Palestinian claims and a total denial of Israel's fundamental rights in every international forum.

The Israeli occupation in 1967 resulted in the exodus of half a million people from the Occupied Territoriesb> (United Nations 1990, 146).
Israel argues against this by claiming that the laws of occupation do not require Israel to permit the return of former Palestinian residents who were abroad in 1967 or who have lost their residency status by protracted absence and relocation of domicile, even if they were born in the territoriesb> (Country Reports 1990 1991, 1491).

Readings: Occupied Territoriesb>

The lessons from Indian Reservations, the territoriesb>, and the federally administered lands of Northern New Mexico are that the formal or regulatory framework stands outside the practices of law while practices in these countries in America affirm the foreign nature of law.
Porto Rico, the doctrine held that territoriesb> could belong to the United States without necessarily being a part of the United States for all purposes; they could be '[territoriesb>] appurtenant and belonging to the United States, but not a part of the United States within the revenue clauses of the Constitution.'" Cabranes, p.
This analysis was first presented to an international gathering of political scientists in Santa Fe, New Mexico little more than two weeks after hundreds of local residents stormed into a city council meeting in Santa Fe to protest the shooting death of Francisco "Pancho" Ortega by the police.
