Is it though? Israel is allowed to defend itself against Hamas. No doubt about that. However, they perpetuate the climate in which groups like Hamas thrive. You can't put people on a small strip of land which is basically an open air prison and be surprised when groups like Hamas start to get into power.
You can remove Hamas or an adjacent group but as long as you keep those very same circumstances in place a new group will rise.
Comparing Russia’s imperialist invasion of a former soviet state for one man’s imagined reputation to the incredibly complex and nuanced Israel/Palestine conflict, motivated by religion and terror from both sides. I fail to see any legitimate comparison.
