False claim about Israel Supreme Court

The article contains an inaccurate statement: "The Supreme Court of Israel, with a variety of different justices sitting, has repeatedly stated that Israel's presence in the West Bank is in violation of international law." This is false and misquotes the cited Haaretz article. The Israeli High Court of Justice has ruled that constructing settlements on privately owned land is illegal, not that Israel's presence in the West Bank violates international law.

Thanks for noticing this. Actually the High Court has been one of the principal enablers of the occupation. In this instance, the source only says that the court holds that the occupation is subject to international law, not that it violates international law. The detail, not in the source, is that the court has repeatedly based its rulings on the international law of Belligerent Occupation. I applied a minimal fix. Zero^talk 01:59, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Misrepresenting a Source

The article claims: "In the 1970s, Israel's methods for seizing Palestinian land to establish settlements included... spraying of land with poison. [74]"

This claim is formulated such that it misleads the reader to think spraying poison was a wide-used method. In fact the source cited is a example of one specific case in Aqraba (without entering specifics of that case). Either additional sources backing up the current phrasing be cited, or an edit be made to the original claim so it is clear this was a single case. ~2026-46959-75 (talk) 07:45, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

We can't write it was a single case without a source that it was a single case. Actually other cases are alleged. What we have sources for is that it was an example of the phenomenon. Zero^talk 11:31, 30 August 2026 (UTC)
