		The common usage for the phrase "occupation of Palestine" is in context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
		Palestine is not accurate enough (the article deals with bible-time wars, where there was no Palestine) and may be mislead with the WB and GS, a specially when the title is "Occupation of Palestine" or "Struggle over Palestine", which conote to the Isr-Pal conflict.
		Basically, the Israeli side is unhappy with the term "Palestine" because Palestine most normally refers to the entire territory, so the title implies that the Jewish parts of Israel are also occupied (during the VfD it became more-or-less clear that this is the reason the "Palestinian side" pushes for this title).
