	Palestinian territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "Palestinian territory" is often avoided for political reasons by supporters of Israel and other Zionists — centrally that Israel naturally does not want to unilaterally compromise its own interests by politically legitimizing any Palestinian claims to land within the boundaries of Israel.
		Palestinian (and other) Muslims counter it in a variety of ways, such as by claiming that, according to their religious beliefs, God sent Islam to replace older religions as the final Word thus replacing previous covenants, or sometimes claiming that since Ishmael was firstborn, he should inherit the promise together with Isaac.
		Third, the Palestinians point out that their claims to the land would be much more amenable were it not for Israel's establishing of "facts on the ground" since 1967, which included land confiscation and building of Jewish settlements or separation barriers on land previously owned by Palestinians and making these lands off-limits to them.
