    Note the use of “rebuild” … BBC always framing it as if it was Israels land to begin with.

    Which wording would you propose they use?

      Well first of all they are not “settlements” they are military outposts because the people living there are usually ex soldiers that are armed. But even ignoring that, the neutral wording for the BBC would be “active in the movement to settle Gaza” and if they want to be a little more honest then they could write “active in the movement of vigilante annexation of Gaza” because that is what the Israeli “civilians” are doing there actually.

        So “active in the movement to settle” is different from “settling” for you?

        I think the problem is that your personal interpretation of ´settlement´ is more positive than what it means in reality

          Again… they wrote “active in the movement to rebuild settlements in Gaza” that, to me at least, would suggests that they are peacefully rebuilding something that was already theirs.

            Again, if you interpret Israelis settling in Gaza as ´peacefully´ taking something ´already theirs´ then that´s more of a you problem than a BBC problem

              I think you are confused.

              if you interpret Israelis settling in Gaza as ´peacefully´ taking something

              I am clearly doing the opposite of that, so what are you talking about? Consider actually reading my comments instead of just skimming over them and completely misconstruing what i am saying. I have no idea how you managed to twist this in your head into thinking that i see the Israelis behavior as peaceful. I am calling the BBC out for framing the Israelis as peaceful instead of calling them out on their warcrimes.
