The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has revealed that roughly 75 per cent of construction of Israeli settlements has been carried out in contravention of Israeli law. The statistics are taken from a secret database compiled by the Ministry of Defence in order to fight legal challenges against the settlement programmes brought by the Palestinians. Scandalous indeed. You’d think that an illegal occupation would at least respect its own bogus laws.
More to the point, neither Haaretz nor the BBC, which picks up the story on its website, mention that 100 per cent of the Israeli settlements have been declared illegal by the World Court.
