الفرق أن
the occupied Palestinian lands
تعني الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة
وهذا التعبير يوضح أن كل الأراضي هي محتلة بالفعل

أما
the Palestinian occupied lands
فتعني الأراضي المحتلة الفلسطينية
ويعني هذا فقط الأراضي المحتلة منها على زعم أنها ليست كلها تحت الاحتلال

وبالنسبة للأراضي الأصح هو
Lands

إضافة أخرى

ألا تذكرون أحد أسباب المشكلة الرئيسية عندما ترجمت الوثائق بهذه الصورة الخاطئة حين ترجمت إلى
Lands
بدلاً من
the lands

i definitely cancel my suggestion on \"territories\" and stick to \"lands\".

الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة
can no way become
المناطق الفلسطينية المحتلة

nor can it be
المناطق المحتلة الفلسطينية

i\'m adding this just for the record!!

the currently used term on \"the Territories\" in media is totally different and refers to the \"other side\"\'s point of view!
