I agree but then again, the people pointing this out so adamantly about Israel are often the ones who are/were happy enough to paint Ukraine as an innocent nation of angel babies.
That's not to say that Russia isn't the clear aggressor in Ukraine, just that the rewriting of Ukrainian politics has been ... well, at the very least interesting.
Also as above - Israel doesn't have "power and influence" over the west, Israel is a keystone in Western power over the Middle East.
That's why they put it there. AGAIN though this is all irrelevant when considering the plights of Palestinian AND Israeli civilians... which is what should be the real humanitarian concern. Not which side is the "good guys". There literally are no good guys. Anywhere. There never have been.
