"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
As a practical matter, Israel has weapons, and will fight to defend itself. They have both the ability and the incentive. Whether Russia thinks they have the right is completely irrelevant.
As a moral matter, under what system of "morals" can Russia say this with a straight face? Does Russia have the right to defend itself? If they do, why doesn't Israel?
Russia's statement says far more about Russia than it does about Israel. It says that Russia is completely morally bankrupt. (I mean, we knew that anyway...)
