>>19030509The Crimea secession and Donbas insurgency originally took place BECAUSE Ukrainian civil authorities failed to secure the Russian-speaking minorities' linguistic rights in the aftermath of Euromaidan. If Ukrainian authorities had said back in 2014 that they would have allowed CERTAIN regions to have Russian as a co-official language, then we would have never gotten stuck in this imbroglio.
Instead, what Ukraine's government did was to make Ukrainian the sole official language of the country, forbade the importation of Russian-language media, including films and printed media from Russia, and blocked all trade with Russia.
The reason why a similar thing has not happened in Palestine this time is because Israel's neighboring countries already learnt their lesson in the 6 Days War.
