You are bypassing the question. The question is whether the native inhabitants get the same rights as the citizens of Israel. And the answer is a resounding "no". And one country taking control over a territory through military means and not treating its citizens like its own justifies the use of the term occupation. Whether that occupation is justified due to a legitimate interest to protect itself is utterly irrelevant because motive never enters the equation.
