Yael invited a female journalist who is a settler into our class today. She laid out her legal argument for Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and spoke about her take on the Israel/Palestine conflict. It was a lively class discussion, to say the least.
The basis of her argument lies in the fact the the League of Nations Mandate states that all of the territory of Palestine had to be a Jewish state. Legalistically, I do not agree with this reading. So we have an issue from the get-go, and we are unlikely to agree. I will say, though, that her argument was well laid-out and appropriate if you accept that initial claim.
