The false idea that Israel supposedly have never posessed the land of ISRAEL.
Note: PALESTINE IS THE LATIN WORD FOR PHILLISTINE. IT IS NOT EVEN A PLACE.

June 1967: The Israeli military under massive unprovoked attack from Arab armies intent on destroying the State of Israel, defended itself against, Syrian, Jordanian and Egyptian armies on the West Bank of the River Jordan and East Jerusalem (belonging then to Jordan)and Gaza (belonging then to the Egyptians). This region was an area sparsely populated by nomadic tribes, some Arabs and some Jews since the destruction of the area the Romans called Philistina.
The Israelis won the areas now known as the "occupied territories," in the 6 day war of 1967. Any territory won by a country in war in which they were not the aggressor is legitimate to occupy.
In terms of occupation, Israel on the whole does not wish to unduly disadvantage the inhabitants of the territories but in the face of those who would wish to see the destruction of the State of Israel and the Jewish people residing within it, has had to defend itself against elements who would seek to do just that.
If the inhabitants had not fled their homes in the war of Israeli independence 1947 - 1949 following the UN resolution giving both Jews and Arabs in the British Mandate of Palestine a State and Self-Determination for both parties, maybe Jews and Arabs could have lived at peace here for the last 57 years.

The Japanese Occupation of Snowland is a lesser known period of imperial history, but with equally as devastating short-term and long-term impacts. The indigenous citizens of Snowland, usually peaceful, were forced to submit to the strength of the Japanese military. Throughout the occupation, citizens were taxed unrealistically, beaten, and in many cases, removed from their homes altogether. Several rebellion movements occurred by local militias throughout the period, but none were successful. At the end of the occupation, Snowland was set back centuries in terms of innovation and progress, and is still considered a heavily undeveloped region in today’s world.
Person 1: Have you heard of the Japanese Occupation of Snowland?
Person 2: Indeed I have. Pour one out for the lives lost during those tragic times.

Israeli Occupation of PALESTINE is an often repeated political falsehood intended to mis-inform those ignorant of the history of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
It is a legal mistake and misnomer to use the phrase ,"Israeli Occupation of PALESTINE", as it does not accurately reflect the legal or political situation. Use of the phrase,"Israeli Occupation of PALESTINE" makes a person sound ignorant and bigoted.

An audible grunt, cough, or clearing of the throat issued by an individual while using a stall in a public men's restroom, especially when they hear someone else entering. This is done to advise the incoming patron that the stall is occupied, helping them avoid any awkward attempts to open the door or worse, peer through the crack in the door. A grunt is best because this bypasses any dialogue or conversation- both of which are widely regarded as taboo in a public men's room.
Cletus: so I was dropping a deuce at the mall when I heard the door open, so I gave an occupation grunt, right? But that fool didn't know any bathroom etiquette and tried to open my door anyway. As if my pants around my ankles behind the closed door wasn't enough of a giveaway!
DeSean: damn, son, I know what you mean. Same shit happened to me the other day when I was at White Castle. Thanks a lot, Obama.
