Great explanation for the type of person to think the Gaza conflict started on October 7th 2023. > The Georgian allegations of a Russian invasion were supported, inter alia, by claims of illegal entry into South Ossetia of a large number of Russian troops and armour, prior to the commencement of the Georgian operation. According to Georgian answers to the Mission´s questions, the process of building-up of Russian forces in South Ossetia had started in early July 2008, continued in the course of August and included troops and medical personnel, tents, armoured vehicles, tanks, self-propelled artillery and artillery guns (From your source) Tskhinvali is in Georgia by the way.

Uhm, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_Civil_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_Civil_War ? I get "Russia bad" point of view, but border issues in the Caucasus region are way more nuanced than that. Abkhaz people are not equivalent of "People of Donbas" talking point in this case.

  Definitely not as evil and inexcusable as the genocide they've been perpetrating for the last 70 or so years.

    You seem to have your years wrong, the genocide the Arabs have been perpetrating against the Jews includes events like attacks against Jewish settlements at 1886, making their evil and inexcusable genocide much longer than 70 years.
