to condemn those living in refugee camps _in_ the occupied territories, when it is illegal for non-jews in Israel to buy land, and it's difficult for them to even move around. How, then, could they leave the camps, and where would they go? Also, you seem to be confused about some logical issues. Perhaps you don't speak English well enough to realize that "crime" is an abstract noun, referring to an action, whereas "refugee camp" is a noun referring to a place. So, a place is not an action. Those living in a place are not actions either. Perhaps in your native language (german?) this distinction does not exist. If that's the case, then you can find a reason to murder people, living in a place, because of some complaint about US or UN policy. Most languages, however, are capable of making a distinction between people and abstract nouns like "crime", "policy", and finding justifications for murder in those languages requires a more sophisticated argument. So you might wish to come up with another excuse.
