I assume by "Israelian occupation" you are referring to the state of Israel. If so, then please be advised that, in the Koran, Allah (swt) clearly promises Israel to the Jews. The land belongs to them:
Apparently, the phrase "we will gather you together in a mingled crowd" is a reference to the establishment of a Jewish homeland (i.e., the founding of the State of Israel in 1947). If so, then Allah (swt) clearly wants Israel to exist as a homeland for the Jews.
Perhaps the root cause of all the problems Muslims are currently experiencing, is that Muslims are going against the will of Allah (swt) by refusing to recognize the right of Israel to exist.

Bismillah
reepi, I need to clarify something for you, first which translation of the meanings do u use?
And thereafter We said to the Children of Israel: Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, We will gather you together in a mingled crowd. (Koran, Sura 17:104, "The Night Journey")
let me give u another translation of the meaningL
<b>
</b>
"And We said to the Children of Israel after him: "Dwell in the land, then, when the final and the last promise comes near [i.e. the Day of Resurrection or the descent of Christ [Jesus, son of Mary on the earth]. We shall bring you altogether as mixed crowd (gathered out of various nations)."
As u can see the word promised in not included in the translation I gave u which is from www.quran.nu
so is the text in Arabic. the ayah in arabic does not say "Ard maouda" maouda in arabic is promised. The promised issue is inveted by the jews to verify their deeds.
However, Allah in another position called it the holy land not the promised land.
I think now things are clear to u.
