    Occupation is what every country in the world calls the situation.

    Apartheid is what apartheid scholars, human rights groups, South Africans who went through apartheid, Israeli peace organizations and Palestinians (you know, the people directly affected) are calling the situation.

    Your little attempt at dictionary lawyering is no argument.
