Saw the flick yesterday. Honestly the conflict isn’t meant to represent Israel Palestine. The invading country speaks Russian. There have been so many conflicts throughout history where a nation with substantial military power invades a neighbor that has pitiful defense capabilities. That whole part of the story has more to do with criticism of the military industrial complex than any real world conflict.

    A lot of the prominent members of terrorist paramilitaries that later formed tzahal were from r*ssian empire a lot of theorists as well, specifically from territory of modern Ukraine mostly due to "pale of settlement" policy of the empire. I think that's what gp hinted at (don't know what language they spoke predominantly, mostly yiddish I think).
