Is it really mental gymnastics if they were already plagiarizing Goebbels for Hasbara and using Lebensraum talking points to justify Greater Israel? It's not like there's much of a mask left to take off.
I forget what site but I saw some Zionist op ed literally titled "The case for Lebensraum in Israel" I forget the exact title but they literally did the thing.
I remember some unhinged-even-by-Zionist-standards Zionist repeatedly citing Hitler on national television but inserting a performative "may his name be erased" every time he said Hitler.
I recall that article; I looked it up and found this about it:

oh, it's not mental gymnastics (mentally they are fully on board for a decade), its rhetorical gymnastics which are fascinating.
