One of the most common misunderstandings about the Israeli occupation of Palestine is that it is a conflict between two countries, Israel and Palestine . Such language is highly misleading, because it gives the impression that these are two evenly matched countries which are fighting it out in an interminable border conflict which has been going on for thousands of years due to some sort of amorphous religious conflict.
