Israel justifies its settlements in the occupied territories by citing historical and religious connections to the land, security concerns, and the need for strategic control over certain areas. They argue that the settlements are necessary for protecting Israeli citizens and maintaining a Jewish presence in these areas.

What relationships do the US and Israel have in common?

The official term for the relationship between the United States and Israel is a "Special Relationship".This relationship arises from a variety of sources. Israel has cooperated with the United States on diplomatic issues, military and intelligence exchanges, large amounts of trade, and significant technological investment. In addition there a numerous Americans who support the State of Israel because of religious convictions on top of the already-listed reasons. The United States government, therefore takes a pro-Israel stance in international politics and is often seen as Israel's backer.Israel and the United States started on friendly terms with the United States approving the 1947 Partition Plan. However, until the Six-Day War of 1967, the United States did not see Israel as a country that would exist in the long-term because of Arab belligerence against the State. After Israel's stunning victory in that war, the United States became Israel's primary Western Ally and began to trade technologies, both civilian and military, with Israel.

What are the occupied territories in and outside of Israel?

This question is difficult to understand. The following are the two different interpretations that were most apparent. 1) What are the territories outside of the 1949 borders that Israel currently occupies? -- These are them: The West Bank, East Jerusalem, East Bank of the Sea of Galilee, and the Golan Heights. With the exception of the Golan Heights, all of these territories were once part of the British Mandate of Palestine. 2) What are all occupied territories in the world including those in Israel? -- It is impossible to get a complete list, especially because the difference between an occupied territory, contested territory, or a rebellious territory is all in the eyes of the beholder. At least 10% of the Earth's settled landmass is composed of occupied territories, loosely defined.

Is France an ally of Israel?

France has no special ties, like treaties or the like, with Israel. France is home of the third-largest Jewish community in the world, but has conducted since 1958 and the general de Gaulle tenure of power, what it calls a "balanced policy" towards Israel. That led for instance, to France's voicing its concern about the settlements in the occupied territories. In France's diplomatic language, Israel is an ally, but that would not go as far as agreeing with making Palestinans or its neighbours miserable.

What was the name for Arabs who claim Israel as their own?

It depends on how they make that claim. Bedouin and Druze claim that Israel belongs to them as much as it belongs to the Jews and proudly call themselves Bedouin Israelis and Druze Israelis. A number of Arabs who formerly lived in what is now Israel or the Occupied Territories claim that the Jewish State is illegitimate and demand that country be returned to them for administration. These individuals are called Palestinians. (Admittedly, a number of Palestinians are willing to allow Israel to exist outside of the Occupied Territories, but there is no difference in naming between the Two-Staters and the One-Staters.)
