Land outside the original 1947 borders that was not acquired by a treaty.

Land has changed hands through war any number of times since - Korea, Tibet, Vietnam. All treaties do after war is ratify the facts on the ground.

This is according to the 4th Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory.

The 1948 war was before the 4th Geneva (1949)

This is according to Resolutions 242

242 was mooted by the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty (1994) recognizing the present boundary.

and 183 of the UN, of which Israel is a member.

UNSCR183 has to do with Portugal.

"The 1948 war was before the 4th Geneva (1949)"

Ah, but the 1967 War was after. So, does Israel honor the Fourth Geneva Convention or not?

"242 was mooted by the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty (1994) recognizing the present boundary."

The "present boundary". You got a map of that, Butch? Plus there are other provisions of 242 that would apply to the current day.

"and 183 of the UN, of which Israel is a member.'

183, 181, 338 ... so many resolutions. 237, 446, and of course ES-10/6.

Let's see. Treaty with Jordan -- oh, that's rock solid, that moots 242, everyone must honor that treaty.

Geneva conventions? Israel spits on them. UN General Assembly and Security Council Resolutions? Not worth the paper they're written on.

See a pattern here?
