An irony in that article by Israeli leftist Gideon Levy, is that he may have the 'occupier' story backwards, in comparing Israel-Palestine versus Russia-Ukraine
In Israel the Palestinians want to be free of Israel, and would be glad if some outside power, perhaps a great Muslim army, was able to liberate them ... many Muslims dream of this
Levy talks about 'Russian occupation of Ukraine' ... but maybe it is more 'Ukraine occupation of Russians' in what had been Eastern Ukraine, where 13,000+ Russians were killed there by Kiev's governments during 2014-22
Russians in East Ukraine long begged for foreign Rusian help to rescue them ... rather like Palestinians would like to be rescued?
And even the EU said in the 1990s, that Kosovo Muslims needed to be rescued by NATO from being under Serbia ... so 'preserve borders for Ukraine' but not for Serbia? Why the difference?
There is a classic communist phrase, 'Who? Whom?', which refers to how everything in propaganda or legal argument, turns simply on who you want to win, or whom you want to be subdued or destroyed
This formula - in Russian, Kto? Kogo? - came from Lenin himself (1921), then Trotsky (1925) and Stalin (1929)
It seems few have fixed principles, we always see things twisted and reversed, depending on which side one wants to support
