ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS ARE ILLEGAL & DISCRIMINATORY
ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS ARE ILLEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW
The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits an occupying power from transferring civilians from its own territory into occupied territory, and from creating permanent changes in the occupied territory that do not benefit the occupied population. All Israeli settlements in the West Bank including those in East Jerusalem violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and constitute a war crime, according to UN Security Council Resolution 465, the International Court of Justice, most governments, and major human rights organizations like Amnesty
International, Human Rights Watch and the Israeli organization B'Tselem. The US government affirmed this position throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

REJECT DISCRIMINATION IN PALESTINE, ISRAEL AND FLORIDA
Though built on Palestinian land, Israeli settlements are reserved exclusively for Jewish people. Israel prevents Palestinians from living on this property because of their ethnicity and religion. If any of South Florida's Palestinian or other non-Jewish citizens attempt to
buy settlement property, it is likely that they will be rejected. Such discriminatory sales practices should not be tolerated in Florida.
