Sheldon Adelson's Republican "Primary" And Israel's Occupied Territories

Op-Ed: “The West Bank is under military occupation, and that’s a fact.” JTA.org

It seems that the New Jersey governor, Chris Christie has committed another faux pas with his mention of the “Occupied Territories” in Israel at gambling mogul, Sheldon Adelson’s Republican “Primary” held in Las Vegas.  In polite company here in the US, one should never refer to the Israeli Military Occupation of Palestine.  Much to its credit, the JTA.org [Jewish Telegraphic Agency:  The Global Jewish News Source] gives both sides of the debate in Op-Ed pieces by two Israelis:  “The West Bank is under military occupation, and that’s a fact” by Jessica Montell and “‘Occupied territories’ is a flawed and biased term” by Alan Baker.  Check out both of these pieces.  And, don’t miss John Stewart of the “Daily Show” and his take on “Occupied Territories”:  “Absolve and Report – Super Donor Sheldon Adelson.”
