Wrong. The only way territory can be legally transferred from one state to another state is through a treaty that is legally executed between two or more parties which specifically mentions a transfer of territory between the two states. Short of that, the occupation is technically belligerant occupation and modern international law does NOT permit settlements or movements of population that would prejudice the final status of the territory.

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.

WOW!! All of the sudden, I am liberal and pro-terrorist? I am pro-international law. The Arabs have lived there for more than a thousand years. How is that 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.

Sure it is a debate. In a debate, people take sides. One person tells his own side of the issue while the other person tells their own. That is debate. Join a debate society sometime and learn about what debate really is.
