I've never "hugged" the Viet Cong. Further, there is no comparison
between what happened in Vietnam before, during and after WWII, and the
establishment of Israel.
You certainly have posted things here that align you far closer with
the Viet Cong than the United States but that is not the analogy I was
making.
The expansion of the original occupation of Palestine is as close to
"Lebensraum" as anything Putin is doing in Crimea.
They have continuously occupied the Crimea since long before the war
of that name.
The "original" occupation of what is now Israel predates the Muslim
religion.
The dirtiest hands in the Vietnam fiasco belong to the French and the
United States, and the hands were dirtied long before our serious,
direct military involvement in that country.
