As for settlements, who's telling you they are illegal? Or is that merely your opinion and international propaganda?
Again.. answer the question.. Why are the settlements illegal?
Also.. in 1948, the Palestinian leadership at that time agreed to be annexed by the Hashimite Kingdom of Jordan, thereby nullifying any further controversy regarding the arbitrarily UN assigned borders for the "Palestinian Partition".
In December 1948, at a conference which took place in Jericho, a group of hand-picked leaders of Palestinian Arabs resolved to ask King Abdullah of Transjordan to incorporate the Arab parts of Palestine into his kingdom. The General Armistice Agreement of 3 April 1949 constituted de facto recognition of that incorporation; however, it was specifically designed as a military agreement which did not prejudice the political positions of the contracting parties.

A Palestinian conference in Ramallah personally attended by King Abdullah on 26 December 1948 declared its support for the Jericho Conference resolution, as did a subsequent Nablus conference, calling for unification of the two banks of the Jordan under the Hashemite crown.
The termination of the Palestine Mandate gave the Arabs of Palestine the opportunity to exercise their right to self-determination. That meant they could determine their own political status and form or dissolve unions among themselves or with other states.

If Palestinian LEADERS actually PETITIONED the Hashimites to annex them, why is the UN involved at all? What right did the Arab League have to oppose such an annexation?
And since the Jordanians have abdicated their control over the annexed territories, occupied by Israel since the 1967 war, is it not the Jordanian equivalent of "Land for Peace" and up to the Israeli government to determine the final status of those former Jordanian territories?
Bottom line.. Just because the UN a resolution does not mean it's international law. ONLY resolutions issued under Chapter VII of the UN charter have the enforceability of international law.
So.. once again.. why are Israeli settlements, located on UNOCCUPIED LAND, illegal?
