Terminology: Refugee Camps

I have been waging a campaign to find and use alternative terminology for terms that have become pejorative and prejudicial as regards the presence of Jews in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.

I suggested revenant instead of "settler".

I suggested communities instead of "settlements".

And now, I found someone who has discovered a new term for refugee camps.

the camps - more accurately, concrete exurban slums


And who was that?
