    While Ukraine is on “right side” of the conflict, the US didn’t help them out of altruism/rightousness, but simply because the “right side” happened to align with US interests.

    Unfortunately, the “right side” on the Israel-Palestine conflict didn’t align with US interests, so the US chose to side with what’s more beneficial to US interests rather than helping the right side. (to clarify: Hamas is not the right side, the “right side” is to protect the innocent civillians in the region)

    Who do you think this is applying to? I’ve seen a ton of people against both. The US government supports Israel because they’re a friendly power in the region. But that doesn’t make it right, or that most people would agree with the decision.

    Also, there’s a difference of scales. Russia tried to push to Kiev to install a government, Israel looks like it’s more of a land grab. Again, neither are just, but they’re not the same.
