    If you say that, then the settlements aren’t a war crime.

    Occupation is legal under international law. Israeli settlements in Palestine are illegal because it’s a war crime to move a civilian population into a militarily occupied area.

      I don’t mean to say that they should be given a legal fig leaf. I mean that they are participating in violent suppression simply by being settlers on land that the IDF scrapes Palestinians out of.
