Palestinian "Settlements"

I'm planning on traveling to the US soon, and got pretty confused and thought I needed to fill out a form on the "Electronic System for Travel Authorization", which is an authorization for individuals holding foreign passports that can enter the US with no visa.


Ok...so in my confusion I was filling it out (I don't actually need to) and I had to enter my telephone number. LO AND BEHOLD- the area code for Palestine is under the label of "Palestinian Settlements"-- Umm..Ok I know the US government is often very-- one sided about this international, global, historical issue. But in no way- and I mean in no way are the Palestinian territories a "settlement." There are Israeli "settlements" on Palestinian territories. But there is no such thing as a "Palestinian Settlement"

This is not a nomenclature debate- nor a tricky wording issue. This is wrong.
