The United States and Israel Sign Space Cooperation Agreement (israelnationalnews.com)
MarkWhittington writes: According to a story in Arutz Sheva, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Israel Space Agency Director General Menachem Kidron signed an agreement to further future space cooperation between the two countries. The agreement took place at the International Astronautical Conference taking place in Jerusalem. The agreement restores a previous commitment for space cooperation between the two countries that lapsed in 2005. The current agreement will have a far greater scope than the previous one.
Well first off in Israel individuals can't own land they can only lease it from a few agencies. Those agencies, or their Yishuv forbearers, have a long history of buying land going back to the late 19th century.
As for "conquered" everything on the planet has been conquered at some point. Stuff gets conquered and the people living their form new societies. Pretty clearly the people who live in Israel proper, Jerusalem and Area-C want to be under the rule of the Israeli government. International law allows for self determination and people living within a territory to recognize sovereigns. One can argue about Area-A, Area-B where there is no desire to recognize Israel as the government but you can't make that claim over most of Israel.
As for eviction of war victims. If you are talking about 1948 both the people who did it and the people who were evicted are dead. If you are talking about later, then of course it is forbidden. But that's not what's happening. States are free to reallocate their land to different purposes. In the USA we call that rezoning and it is routine, we don't treat it as a human rights violation.
