14. It's more proof than any of the idiotic anti-Israel narratives...

......your lot has concocted over the past few decades.

And you're right about google, so here's an article about Kontorovich's new research paper:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/09/12/new-research-paper-unsettled-a-global-study-of-settlements-in-occupied-territories/?utm_term=.adb90d47562b

Download it here:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2835908

The PDF is 66 pages long. If you doubt the claims, google those specific claims for confirmation.

I mentioned Tibet because it's the most obvious, most publicized example. Kontorovich avoids Tibet because the Chinese occupation preceded their signing of Geneva (also due to questions about Tibet's sovereignty). Of course, there was no Palestinian sovereignty either, but that doesn't stop the bigots & their idiotic arguments.

If you're still looking for hard evidence, I gave you 7 scenarios that Kontorovich writes about. We can start with any of those examples given his 66 page PDF.

Where would you like to start? Or is this where you disappear due to your silly narrative being challenged?
