Morocco in Western Sahara
Turkey in North Cyprus
Russia in Georgia’s Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Ukraine's Crimea
China in Tibet
Indonesia in E.Timor
Vietnam in Cambodia

In no other examples are the Geneva conventions brought up (against settlers). Only Israel.

We've been over this before despite your weak denial...

Here's an actual study on it...
http://israelseen.com/2016/09/09/prof-eugene-kontorovich-settlement-activity-not-a-violation-of-geneva-conventions/

Israel cannot be the only occupying country in which settlements are illegal according to Geneva. That's called discrimination. One standard or no standard at all. In none of the situations above is there a demand for settlers to leave any territories. That's also unique to Israel.

And of course the "occupation" is legal. If it weren't, Israel would've been pressured to withdraw immediately in 1967 and without negotiating a peace deal. From Egypt, from Jordan. But that was never the intent of UN resolutions 242 and 338 which call for recognized & secure borders.

Your premise is flawed. Israel's occupation is legal. So there goes your argument. shira Nov 2016 #34

Greek Cypriots do bring up the Geneva Convention with respect to Turkish settlers in N Cyprus oberliner Nov 2016 #37

You prove the point. Greeks aren't using Geneva against Turkish settlers... shira Nov 2016 #38
