You are 100% spot on when it comes to the New Israel Fund (NIF) continuously using the phrase “End the occupation”.

“End the occupation” is actually a phrase coined by the PLO that has been well and truly swallowed hook, line and sinker by NIF.

This phrase ignores the following facts:

1. The Jews living in East Jerusalem were all driven out of their homes and businesses by six invading Arab armies in 1948 and not allowed to return there until 1967.

2. Established Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza all suffered the same fate in 1948 as their fellow Jews in East Jerusalem.

If NIF wants to be intellectually honest with itself then it should use the term “end the re-occupation” that occurred after Israel’s defeat of Jordan and Egypt in the 1967 Six Day War and the re-occupation by the Jews of their properties in East Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and Gaza from which they had been forcibly expelled by six invading Arab armies in 1948.

Maybe NIF is ignorant of these facts. If so – they need to review their slavish use of Arab terminology that is deceptive, misleading and downright untruthful.

But when the NIF declares that territories in dispute are occupied that fails a test of integrity for a Jewish organisation claiming devotion to Israeli Security .
A Judea with millions of Islami that believe the Jewish people are invading the Holy Land and have to be massacred and expelled and that Jewish Security demolished cannot be allowed it is a Niave Very Dangerous Psychosis .
