Allow me to begin with who Israel is fighting. The war is continually described as, “Israel is fighting the Palestinians” or “Israel is fighting Gaza,” Those descriptions are inaccurate, give your viewers a wrong impression of the conflict, and are unfair to both Israel and the Palestinian people.

Israel is fighting the Hamas terrorists, not the Palestinians. Neither the Palestinian Authority (PA) nor the people living in the disputed territory are involved.  As the conflict began with the Oct 7 massacre horror, when saying Israel is fighting the Palestinians, the implication of your words is that all Palestinians were involved in the October 7 massacre, accusing them of something in which they had no involvement. Additionally, it accuses Israel of conducting a war with all the Palestinian people but it’s only fighting the Hamas terrorists.

A comment about my use of the term “disputed territories.” Most reporters call them “occupied,” which, when used for Gaza, ignores the fact that Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005.
