My goodness, are you really that obtuse? Do you not understand the difference between a military occupation and forcibly expelling people from their land to make way for settlements?

Do you consider the territory of Iraq to be US property now since we "won it" in the Iraq war? Ditto for Afghanistan? Are we ethically free now to plunder all of their natural resources, including their vast oil reserves?

Yes, we can tell they are willing to part with it based on the ongoing construction of permanent settlements.
