The Wall is Illegal; The Settlements are Illegal

Just the facts, please:

Is the wall illegal:

Israel began construction of the barrier during the Second Intifada in September 2000, along and exceeding beyond the 1949 Green Line. In its non-binding opinion, the Court found that the barrier violates international law and should be torn down

In 2003, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that charged Israel’s building of the barrier to be a violation of international law and demanded its removal by a vote of 144–4 with 12 abstentions.

Is the Israel settlement illegal?

In 1978, the Legal Adviser of the Department of State of the United States reached the same conclusion. The International Court of Justice, in its advisory opinion, has since ruled that Israel is in breach of international law by establishing settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.
