Jesus was a Palestinian refugee born into a Roman military occupation. I have a feeling his position on Palestine would not be warm to the occupation.

And at least he was probably a real person that actually existed at one point.

Watch this Batman!

I'm turning all of Gotham's water into wine and feeding it's poor with a fish and two loaves of bread!

Batman: This is literally the angriest I have ever been

At what point does something stop being a military occupation and just become integrated into an empire? genuine question.

That's the neat part, it doesn't! Empire is always enforced with military occupation, even if sometimes that military occupation takes the form of so-called "police forces."

I just don't feel like that works in every case though. Rome conquered many places that still considered themselves Roman after the empire started to collapse. At some point they were just part of it.

I'd say it's the point where hegemony instead of brute force works as the primary control mechanism.

I think that works pretty well, thanks.
