Talk:Legality of Israeli settlements

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Lack of balance

Linking to a Haeretz article, which is an extremely partisan source, for commentary on a decision, instead of directly to the decision itself, is poor form in research and introduces unneeded bias to the discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.172.116.235 (talk) 15:03, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

The article devotes a ton of space to US and Israeli views while barely mentioning other countries' views. (t · c) buidhe 02:48, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

I agree the US position is given undue attention, and other countries views, including France and the UK. Israel's position obviously needs to be included in depth, but we go in to tangents that arent relevant and repeatedly emphasize its position while lacking, entirely, Palestinian views at all. But I agree the US and Israeli positions are given extremely undue weight here. nableezy - 16:07, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Also many of the individual positions are given undue weight. Morris B. Abram and William M. Brinton merit approximately 0 words here, Julius Stone just barely more than that. nableezy - 16:12, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Supreme Court

The introduction states that the Supreme Court has no opinion. But the page for Israeli settlements has the following line which seems to contradict that:

"According to Talia Sasson, the High Court of Justice in Israel, with a variety of different justices sitting, has repeatedly stated for more than 4 decades that Israel's presence in the West Bank is in violation of international law." Hovsepig (talk) 08:32, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

The Sasson attribution has been edited here because reliably sourced and copied to the lead here. Selfstudier (talk) 11:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

@Selfstudier: Thanks for tidying up after me. Forgot to relay back here. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

The text was based on a misquote of the source. The court has never ruled that the occupation is illegal. Not once. Zero^talk 00:47, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Edit request 13 October 2025

Description of suggested change: I would like to suggest this article be merged with the Israeli Settlement article as it doesnt to me seem by wikipedia criteria to be worth a separate article given precedents with other articles about potentially illegal international actions and the Wikipedia Notability guidelines. I think there may be a way to submit a formal request for merging articles somewhere else but i have been unable to find it- if I'm doing something wrong here, please tell me. Thank you.

 Not done: Ordinarily you would start a discussion about the proposed merge following the steps at WP:MERGEINIT. But since you are not an extended-confirmed editor and this article relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, which has been designated a contentious topic, you are not permitted to do so.
