A question prompted by the post below:

How is Israel in the West Bank different in any way from the Soviet policy back in the Soviet era of settling Russians in non-Russophone territory or the Chinese Sinicizations of Tibet and Uighurstan? 

It's a simple question, which will no doubt product convoluted and complex answers.
