What occupation? where was he being "occupied"?

His land was being occupied -- and with deplorable tactics at that.

care to expand? who was doing the occupation? what were the "tactics". please provide reputable (meaning not random websites, government websites are okay as long as they're not from involved parties, ie Hamas' website is not considered reputable) sources while you're at it.

How are these for reputable sources?

The United Nations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Nations_resoluti...

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_territories

US State Dept: http://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/hrrpt/2002/18278.htm

Israeli soldiers: http://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/

1. wikipedia =/= reputable 2. Look at the contents of all those "resolutions" and you come to realize that none of them stand or are unbiased. 2a. A lot of those Resolutions are contradictory and self referential. anything else?

Yes, the UN is "biased" and "does not stand", Wikipedia is not "reputable". Conveniently sidestepping the US State Dept and Israeli soldiers accounts too.

May I suggest that it's not the UN who is "biased" but you?
