"I take strong issue with your sentence, “The Palestinians seek the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza – areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war – for an independent state.” Your use of the term “captured” rather than “occupied” to describe Israel’s authority over the West Bank is inaccurate and misleading. You should take note that the International Court of Justice ruling 2004 specifically re-iterated Israel’s status as the occupying power."
