Al Jazeera Asks: 'Will Israel End Occupation?' The World Already Knows.
Al Jazeera's 'Inside Story' asks, "Will Israel end its occupation of Palestinian territories?" —a question framed with all the intellectual curiosity of asking if water is wet. This isn't a new inquiry; every Israeli government since 1967 has expanded settlements, deepened control, and systematically annexed land. Netanyahu himself, whose government remains steadfastly against a Palestinian state,
has publicly reiterated this stance for years, including in 2002, 2006, and 2014. To pretend this is an open question, rather than a stated policy executed over generations, is to ignore 57 years of documented, unilateral actions on the ground. Perhaps instead of questioning Israel's intentions, which are plainly visible in every new illegal settlement, we should question the media's framing. How
many more decades of land grabs, demolitions, and military control will it take for 'occupation' to cease being a debatable term and finally become a recognized, irreversible truth in their headlines?
