would you ever criticize the illegal Israeli occupation - just curious - or is it all one way for you?

What about someone that is against both the Israeli occupation, and Palestinian terror? Can you find a name
to call them also?

What about this:

The United States is cutting nearly $290m from a loan guarantee package to Israel in response to its settlement activity in the West Bank and Gaza.
Israel is also being penalised for the building of a barrier in the West Bank to separate Israelis and Palestinians.
The money comes from a $9bn package of loan guarantees and does not affect Washington's direct aid for Israel.
But the move is seen as an important symbolic gesture and evidence of new efforts by the US to calm the conflict.
The amount to be deducted was agreed by the two sides at a meeting in Washington on Tuesday between top officials from the White House and the office of the Israeli Prime Minister.
ISRAEL'S SETTLEMENT SPENDING $500m - annual government budget for civilian needs (not including military protection) Settler families receive on average $10,000 more annually from government than families living in Israel $10bn - total spending by Israel since 1967 SOURCE: Haaretz daily newspaper, Oct 2003
Broadly speaking, the US guideline is to reduce its loan guarantee by an amount equivalent to what the Israelis spend on Jewish settlement expansion in the Palestinian territories.
Israel does not make public the figures, however an investigation by daily newspaper Haaretz in October found that government spending on civilian needs in settlements alone came to $500m a year.
