I was looking up info about Lebanon, and I came across this interesting page. But there seems to be something missing:

Lebanon finally gained its independence in 1946, but was unfortunately ravaged by a 16-year civil war that ended in 1992

At the war’s conclusion, the Lebanese government and people finally established a more equitable political system, and began to rebuild the damaged infrastructure. Some cultural and religious conflicts (rather common in the Middle East) do remain, and the country still struggles with reforms.

No mention whatsoever of the country just to the east.

Contrast it with this page, from the same site, in which there’s no apparent hesitation to use the “O” word:

Today the Gaza Strip and West Bank (shown on the map above) are partially Israeli occupied, and the ever-changing boundaries and status of same are subject to on-going Israeli-Palestinian agreements and negotiations.

And note this map of some imaginary country called “Palestine.” And it uses that “O” word as well, with regard to the Golan Heights.

I guess that there are occupations, and then there are “occupations.”
