So invasion and annexation (and some war crime here and there) are perfectly fine if the "good" guys commit it?
But keep dreaming, and pretend that spectacular failure of a counter offensive didn't happen.
You're right in a way.

Israel and Russia are both the invaders in the ongoing war, and the atrocities committed by the Russian army often mirrors the atrocities committed by the IDF

But you will often see people defend Russia unconditionally because they are part of Brics or the global south or whatever Russia pretends to be.

And you will often see people defend Israel unconditionally because they are part of the US sphere of influence. ( or whatever weird religious reason)
