RL and I were conversing last night and the topic of terms was discussed, with me pointing out that the word "occupation" need not be feared. After all, we were occupied in conversation and we each had professional occupations, etc.
And he pointed out that probably most of the people who were engaged in late 2011 and early 2012 in this movement
and wished to extend and enlarge it further
people like him
and like them
and them
as well as many who supported and identified with their protests, would very much be opposed to an "occupation" of another kind (even if it isn't quite an occupation)
especially Jews
Another double standard?

I think you are right. Occupy is not a bad word. The occupation af e.g. Gaza would not need to be a bad thing if it brought its inhabitors greater quality of life than before, that just might happen still.
There are many instances right now where injustice is being wraught, all around the world.
