<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>&#8220;Settling&#8221; by Israel constitutes a WARCRIME according to International Law and the ICC statute. Even under US&#8217; own military legislation&#8217; it is forbidden.</strong></span></p>

<span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Call for participation in a direct action</strong></span></p>
<p>We the sons and daughters of Canaanites will establish Canaan Village (Canaan) on endangered Canaanite Palestinian land. We declare that it is our natural right to develop, reclaim, improve, use, and live on all our lands free and without threats from occupiers/colonizers. Beginning Saturday 9 February, we will have several days of direct work to help farmers in the South West Bank reclaim and improve their agricultural lands.</p>
<p>We call on people of conscience and media to join us as we work our lands and thus defend it against attempts by foreign colonizers to usurp it.</p>
<p><strong>If interested to help, meet us at Bab Zqaq in Bethlehem at 7 am on Saturday when we will move to the location/s of the work. Alternatively meet us at the village of Khallet Al-Mayyah on Saturday at the same time.</strong></p>

<h3>LAW</h3>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong> &#8220;States may not deport or transfer parts of their own civilian population into a territory they occupy.&#8221;</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Summary</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in international armed conflicts.</span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"> International armed conflicts</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The prohibition on deporting or transferring parts of a State’s own civilian population into the territory it occupies is set forth in the Fourth Geneva Convention.[1]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>It is a grave breach of Additional Protocol I.[2]</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “the transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies”</span> <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:underline;">constitutes a war crime</span> <span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:underline;">in international armed conflicts</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">.</span><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:underline;">[3]</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Many military manuals prohibit the deportation or transfer by a party to the conflict of parts of its civilian population into the territory it occupies.[4]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>This rule is included in the legislation of numerous States.[5]</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Official statements and reported practice also support the prohibition on transferring one’s own civilian population into occupied territory.[6]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Attempts to alter the demographic composition of an occupied territory have been condemned by the UN Security Council.[7]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">In 1992, it called for the cessation of attempts to change the ethnic composition of the population, anywhere in the former Yugoslavia.[8]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Similarly, the UN General Assembly and UN Commission on Human Rights have condemned settlement practices.[9]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">According to the final report of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights Dimensions of Population Transfer, including the Implantation of Settlers and Settlements, “the implantation of settlers” is unlawful and engages State responsibility and the criminal responsibility of individuals.[10]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">In 1981, the 24th International Conference of the Red Cross reaffirmed that “settlements in occupied territory are incompatible with article 27 and 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention”.[11]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">In the Case of the Major War Criminals in 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg found two of the accused guilty of attempting the “Germanization” of occupied territories.[12]</span></p>
