The entire world (including Canada's long-standing official position) regards the '67 territories as "occupied" and Israel subject to the Geneva Convention that prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its population (as Israel does with generous incentives) to conquered territories. With its illegal colonies, Israel is effectively using its citizens as human shields towards its goal of a Greater Israel.

A decade before the '47 UN partition, David Ben-Gurion candidly articulated Zionist strategy: "We shall accept a state with fixed boundaries today, but the boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concern of the Jewish people and no external factors can limit them."
