An Israeli government committee has affirmed the country’s
self-proclaimed right to build settlements throughout the occupied West
Bank, and recommended the legalization of dozens of settler outposts
that have not received government authorization. The International Court
of Justice has already ruled that all of Israel’s West Bank settlements
are illegal, but Israel has said it would only consider dismantling
scattered outposts that it has not officially approved. The settlers
have used the outposts to seize even more Palestinian land than has
already been taken. We host a debate between Jonathan Tobin, Senior
Online Editor of Commentary magazine, and Ali Abunimah, co-founder of
The Electronic Intifada. Video
