Unless you're a Palestinian in the occupied territories

So let's unpack that Greg.

The terminology of "occupation" is derived from the actual lack of legal status to the territories over the "Green Cease-fire Line" agreed upon in the 1949 Rhodes Armistice Agreements. No borders have been established or recognized by the parties. Armistice lines do not establish borders, and the 1949 Armistice Agreements in particular specifically stated (at Arab insistence) that they were not creating permanent or de jure borders.

Territories are only "occupied" if they are captured in war from an established and recognized sovereign, but no state had a legitimate or recognized sovereignty over the West Bank, Gaza Strip or East Jerusalem prior to the Six-Day War.

Legally the Jews were recognized as "cestui sue trust" of the political rights to them as embodied in the Treaty of S?vres (Section VII, Art 94-97) with regard to the Palestine mandate which was finally confirmed by the Council of the League of Nations on 24 July 1922.

As for your use of "Palestinian" a Palestinian is simply an inhabitant of Palestine. There are Jewish, Christian, Muslim and non-believers who are Palestinian. Palestinian is simply a national designation like Canadian or American. There are no racial, ethnic or religious criteria for being a Palestinian. Only by right of birth, naturalization and descent does one become a Palestinian, as in most other countries. BTW, my wife's family were real Palestinians, not the fake Palestinians of Yasser Arafat's creation.
