And they are correct. Read the pdf I posted(please, please!), you'll get a good overview of all the ways Israel is committing war crimes, contravening the Geneva convention, and generally being awful to people while trampling on their rights, along with a history of the land.

They didn't make up the rules. It was a war, that was initiated by the Arabs.
The Arabs forcibly took the land and expelled all Jews in 1948, but then lost that land to Israel's control in 1967.
You're telling me the only interpretation of the law that isn't a war crime is for Israel to enforce Jordan's expulsion of it's own Jewish citizens? BTW Jordan also annexed the land, which meant that it was not taken from Palestinians even, but Jordan.
This was land in East Jerusalem, that, prior to Jordan's invasion, the UN had stated would be part of an international city and all existing Jewish land ownership rights would stand. The Ottoman Empire and British mandate had legally acknowledged the Jewish land ownership. So it's literally just Jordan's expulsion of Jews that resulted in the original rightful owners losing the land.
