Hmmm...might have something to do with the fact that there's not a nation in the world (including the US) that would support them if they violated international law so grossly.

What international law? They already own the West Bank in everybody's eyes except the USA and the arabs.

Try the Geneva Convention, and you're wrong about everyone but us and the Arabs. Hell, the USA is the most pro-Israel nation in the world right now, and our official position is the squatter camps (aka "settlements") need to go.

As for the rest of the world....in 1999 there was a meeting of the Geneva Convention signatories. All attended except the US and Israel. There was a unanimous vote that the rules of the Convention regarding occupied territories applied to the West Bank. Those include bans on collective punishment, wholesale expulsion of the civilian population, and transferring your own civilians into occupied areas.
