Except that the Israeli “settlements” are on previously annexed land from 1967. It is more like an eminent domain seizure. And it is quite reasonable in theory to exercise sovereign power for such purposes to improve the land’s cultivation, so long as compensation is awarded (not sure if Israel gives it to the Palestinians)

I was under the impression that it's illegal to settle on occupied land and what Israel is doing is hence illegal under international law. Am I somehow misinformed?

Are laws of men corruptible? Do you appeal to international law as the highest? Or do you submit to a higher perception?

I ask because your entire judgment is not based on anything consistent with civilization’s record with property claims and is really a 20th century phenomenon.

The matter is too complex for me to have a good judgement, I was just confused because your comment didn't seem consistent with what I thought I knew.

It is illegal but no one can/will enforce the law,

Of course there isn't any compensation. The owners are simply run off at gunpoint.
