Israel cannot be characterized as a "foreign occupier" with respect to the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Fundamental sources of international legality decide the question in Israel's favor. The last international legal allocation of territory that includes what is today the West Bank and Gaza Strip occurred with the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine which recognized Jewish national rights in the whole of the Mandated territory, including the sector east of the Jordan River

In some ways they are.

In 1967, Israel nationalized all West Bank water.
Yep

The Israelis considering the source of your post

The US government position is that the West Bank is occupied territory. That is why US policy was and still is againstthe settlement program.

In any case, the thread was IDF COIN.
