If the world can't bring these genocidal bastards to justice, at least the Palestinians can.

I appreciate the sentiment behind saying IOF or even IAF (attack instead of defencec not to be confused with the Israeli Air Forces) and I agree that they occupy and attack more than any defence they have ever done. But, ironically, it makes it hard to search and find information on IDF crimes...

Recognition is a state of mind. Recognizing the occupational force is in a way a victory for them.

The flip side is as you mentioned, it makes discussion more difficult with people who are less knowledgeable about a conflict. This is why the word Israel is often used in quotes.

I usually use IGF but I mostly dont comment anything worth researching. I do agree that using different names can be deteimental.

I like IGF. My grandma who was a Nakba survivor always called them "Azrael" as in the angel of death. Can't blame her, she only saw murser, pain, and forced displacement from them.

Could have been buying olive oil... Way less dangerous buying olive oil.
