More than a half million ''colonial'' settlers in West Bank, East Jerusalem http://www.palestine-info.co.uk/En/default.aspx?xyz=U6Qq7k%2bcOd87MDI46m9rUxJEpMO%2bi1s7dZnUMHSpOT5%2frRtgS6lAViANPo%2bmX0t1WDeaXpmzZKoBS5oDQ4E5gBShwR1N7zrxbBuy%2bPeW4gy%2fm%2fK9fstImY1W2tT%2bMJIZqltqOGpWTgg%3d

The Israeli Population Registry said Thursday that there are more than 334,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank. According to Israeli media outlets, data suggests that the greatest hike in settler population was recorded in Kiryat Sever. But the figure does not include settlements surrounding occupied Jerusalem. The latest data shows that nearly 180,000 Jews have settled there, placing the number of Jewish settlers in the territories occupied after 1967 at over a half million.

[United Nations Security Council Resolution 446 - In the Resolution, the Security Council determined: "that the policy and practices of Israel in establishing settlements in the Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since 1967 have no legal validity and constitute a serious obstruction to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East"
