If you feel land israel won in wars brought against them are occupied territories do you feel the same about american land? If anything american land taken from american natives was occuping territories and should be given back. It was the spoils of war with us non natives as the agressors. Stand up to give right of return to american natives before you call for it for palestinians!

I think that land should be returned to the Hitites, the Babylonians, Persians, Egyptions, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, Ottoman Turks, and the British.

No wait...................................... that land is in the hands of the "original owners". All is well.

If someone calls it the Occupied Territories, why does that bother you? What's your your skin in the game one way or the other?

Consistency and truth are the "skin in the game".
Russia occupies the nicest part of Finland, a huge chunk of Japan, and now Ukraine after ATTACKING all of the above countries. Yet, zero UN resolutions calling them to withdraw.

Hypocrisy? Anti-Semitism? Both!

Whether or not it's hypocrisy or anti jewish sentiment is really here nor there.

It's DISPUTED territory, and many people that fled from it are still alive and continue to dispute it. Trying to compare that to our situation in the United States (the OP) is silly.

So! Do you live in Israel, or are you just trying to bedevil us with more Middle Eastern nonsense that no real American should care about one way or the other.

Are we Americans really supposed to lose sleep over the nomenclature of disputed territory?

If you don't like it called the Occupied Territories, then call it something else. (shrug)

Why is it disputed? Why isnt the situation here with natives not disputed?

You're Jewish (or so you claim), yet you don't know why Israel, Palestine, or whatever you wanna call it, is disputed territory?

Give me a good reason why I should.

Besides, this is about caring whether or not some meaningless piece of land should be called the Occupied Territories. This isn't about whether or not you should care about Israel.
