I think you’re right that it gives protests a unifying theme. Before, it was a lot of different issues all boiling separately. Now they can be stirred together under "stop the occupation" and it becomes a bigger, clearer story. That’s dangerous politically because it stops being about one group or grievance and starts being about all of them
