8. Wow, that's a pretty big bag of pick'n mix of different situations...

Some of these territories are occupied, some are not and in some places there are examples of population transfer taking place and not so much in others. The problem is that the Israeli transfer of its own civilian population into occupied territory is probably the best example of how the provisions in the Geneva Convention are contravened.

If there was a another example of a country doing more or less the same as Israel does, and it wasn't more or less subjected to similar forms of criticism, I would think it was unfair. I must admit that my knowledge of the situation in most of the countries you mention is less than perfect, so if you could provide a more specific comparison it would help me understand what you mean.
