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.
I usually use IGF but I mostly dont comment anything worth researching. I do agree that using different names can be deteimental.
I like IGF. My grandma who was a Nakba survivor always called them "Azrael" as in the angel of death. Can't blame her, she only saw murser, pain, and forced displacement from them.
