On the legality of Israeli 'settlements'

On Thursday, I linked a Washington Post article that unearthed a 30-year old 'legal opinion' from the Carter administration's State Department Legal Adviser that claimed that Israeli 'settlements' are 'illegal' under the Geneva Convention. It seems that opinion was based on the writings of a legal scholar who vehemently argued that 'Israeli settlements' are completely legal (Hat Tip: Daled Amos).
