Tibet

Tibet is included in both the occupations and disputed occupations lists, I removed it from the occupations list because of the reason stated at the top of this page. Say1988 02:33, 25 March 2005 (UTC)

Distinction based on duration

@John Abbe: The sentence "Occupation's intended temporary nature distinguishes it from annexation and colonialism." distinguishes military occupation from other types of territorial control of different durations which can be confused with it. Military occupation made permanent becomes annexation. Military occupation made permanent---or otherwise extended in duration---does not by that change in duration become apartheid. While apartheid can follow occupation, it is not part of a distinction that is the point of this sentence, which is why it isn't mentioned either here or the sources cited.

If you wish to add a "See also" section with a link to the article on Apartheid, you are free to do so.

Golan Heights and East Jerusalem

The Israeli military does not control those areas (Israel itself does, like Tel Aviv). As such, there is no claim to these areas being occupied militarily. A3811 (talk) 07:14, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To quote this page itself, "Military occupation... is temporary hostile control exerted by a ruling power's military apparatus over a sovereign territory that is outside of the legal boundaries of that ruling power's own sovereign territory" A3811 (talk) 07:17, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's WP:OR. M.Bitton (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed that despite the fact that WeatherWriter listed some RS in a related discussion that prove that your OR cannot contradict what is sourced (Sean.hoyland also didn't agree with you), you still went ahead with the change on this article.
