As that the best that can be expected?
Why is the term “occupation” used in both your scenarios?
Every power that has ruled there since and before the Bible, are they or were they all occupiers?
The only decree that is G-d given is for the Jews, not the Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Philistines, Crusaders, Mameluke's, Turks, Brits, etc...
The Jews are not occupying anything, it is their birthright but of course, today, the increasingly secular West will have none of it.
The UN has done it's utmost to rescind its recognition of Israel since it agreed to give the Jews a homeland. What we are witnessing today is truly frightening and possibly Prophetic...
It's not a dog whistle.
To clarify, Israel "occupies" the land in the same sense that the United States "occupies" the Dakotas, that is, the people took possession of the land and continue to rest upon it.
I also said that the Israelis are there by divine warrant and command - no pejorative intent in either case.
