I guess compare them to their enemies? Put the two statements "Russia declared LGBTQ+ as a terrorist movement because the CIA (allegedly) uses LGBTQ+ organisations as fronts for spying" and "Israel kills Palestinian civilians because Hamas (allegedly) hides behind them" together. Ask why they think the latter is morally justified but not the former.
