Great news.

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.
