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.

Thank you for your valuable opinion. The issue seems to have magically solved itself. End of story (I guess).

No, all it means is that the resolution to this issue is as likely as Russia recognizing the existence of Kosovo and the USA recognizing South Ossetia.

Well perhaps someone of significant status has no interest for this to end.
