Smooth Stone: Changing the Lexicon

Smooth Stone has a request:
"In this article, http://smoothstone.blogspot.com/2008/04/poll-israelis-say-west-bank-is.html, we learn that by a wide margin, the majority of Israeli Jews view the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) as 'liberated' rather than 'occupied' territory. We can also change the concept of 'occupation' by replacing the word 'occupied' to 'liberated' when we speak and when we write. I ask you in this letter to join me in this campaign to stop using the word 'occupied' and to use the word 'liberated' in its place. It takes a while for people to catch on to using these terms so, if you agree, please join in introducing one or both of these concepts in some of your writings. What is important is that others change their perceptions based, in part, by these concepts. Will you join me in pushing back the lie?"
