Israel continues to build additional settlements on the West Bank as well as increasing the size of the present settlements. Do you think that Israel has the riight to buld new and expand older settlements on the West Bank?

I think they need to find compromise.

I say no.Now if they go to war against the Palestinian and defeat them then sure they would have that right to go into Palestinian territory and settle in it.
Yep. That's how warfare traditional worked.To the victor go the spoils of war.So basically...according to you - all Israel has to do is deliberately go to war with the Palestinians, defeat them and then take their land.

Yes, for as long as Israel is threatened with obliteration by its neighbours and the wider Islamic world. Settlements are part of Israel's defensive strategy. The best defence is essential; no other country is under an equivalent threat of destruction.

israel is the only nuclear power in the middle east
it has the best military in that region by far
in no way is israel under threat of destruction
and israel does have the right to build settlements - just so long as they are located in israel
It amazes me that the people who try to victimize Israel do not realize it could likely take on multiple Great Powers simultaneously with its military capabilities (the U.S. excluded, obviously).
De facto power ≠ de jure legitimacy. Israel does not have the right to build more settlements; that would be against international law. It does however, have the ability to, in the absence of anyone being prepared to prevent them from doing so. Realpolitik is back in vogue, if it ever actually went out of style.
What international law would that be? Post a specific statute. We do not have a one world government, even though the UN tries to be. The only international law is in the form of Treaties. Israel is not a signatory to any treaty preventing them from building settlements in conquered territories.
