    Oh really? Their borders have shifted throughout history and things happening around them may reshape them again? Wow. Um where was this kind of understanding line when Russia’s borders changed around the Ukraine because of certain color revolution things happening?

    Not like one of these is a colonizer state foisted upon the region by European colonial powers as payment for their own crimes against European minorities and before that hadn’t existed in any form for a continuous period of centuries while the other is a case of the USSR doing some things they thought were good but caused problems and the whole thing really only existed for less than one century and the problematic results’ borders have only existed for just over 30 years and are now only changing because it can’t agree to not be hostile to a large power next to it that has for 500 years suffered invasions from the west and just wanted some neutrality and peace.

    But sure, the zionist one is justified and okay while the Russian moves are pure unbridled aggression by illogical hoodlums who we must dehumanize.

    Since they realized they can get away with sanitizing a genocide through headlines that are meant to manufacture not just consent but also revel in contradiction they have gotten only more audacious with what they try to whitewash. In a way Israeli and American politicians as well as the English media supporting them are themselves deconstructing the narrative they spent so long building because they are so arrogant because of being accustomed to acting with no accountability. They don’t realize how insane this sounds to anyone but the rabid Zionists and entranced Israeli public and American liberals and neocons.
