WRONG. The Israelis defeated the Egyptians in a fight the Egyptians started and those areas were taken as part of that war. Therefore, they are PERFECTLY LEGAL.

More liberal, pro-terrorist rhetoric. Jerusalem is and always has been the ancestral home of the jews. The land was stolen by the Romans and given to another group. Therefore, it is the "palestinian" settlements that are illegal.

He is telling 1/2 the story. That isn't a debate --- it's an attempt at spreading mindless propaganda. If he isn't going to tell the whole story, he should consider finding a new subject matter to discuss.
