“Israel fully aware occupation illegal”
By: Nabil Raza
LONDON, United Kingdom: A British daily reported Saturday that a
secret memo proves that the Israeli government knew that its
occupation of Palestinian land was illegal after it won the Six Day
War in 1967.
According to The Independent newspaper, Theodor Meron, who wrote the
memo as the Israeli foreign ministry's legal advisor at the time,
said: "I believe I would have given the same opinion today."
With Israel now celebrating the 40th anniversary of the war, the
76-year-old Meron, who went on to become a leading international
jurist, challenges Israel's long-held argument that settlements do not
violate international law.
The Independent said it obtained a copy of his legal opinion, which
was marked "Top Secret" and "Extremely Urgent."
Quoting its author, the newspaper said the memo concluded "that
civilian settlement in the administered territories contravenes the
explicit provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention."

better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
