Why use the term "occupation"?

Israelis legally purchased properties, albeit via third parties - just as
Walt Disney purchased swampland in Orlando through a series of third
parties.

Did Walt "occupy" Orlando?

No.

He bought the land fair and square.

"Occupation" is a very incendiary term.

For example, according to "Peace Partner" Mahmoud Abbas it is ok to, in the
course of "nonviolent resistance of the occupation", throw firebombs and
murder Israelis.

And that's on a good day.

Abbas is very straightforward that when it is not counterproductive it would
be fine to engage in "armed resistance" against the occupation and shoot and
blow up Israelis.

One would expect the White House to be more careful in their choice of
words.
