Title: The term "Israel/Palestine" is so gay.

Why don't they just say Israel and the PLO? Why a need for a slash?

My guess is most people that use the term are Muslims or Leftists.   Their goal is to delegitimize Israel as much as possible.  The PLO,  in context with Israel,  sounds like a terrorist organization ( which it is. ).   However,  the term Palestine on the surface sounds like a legit entity or country,  even though in this case it isn't.
