At no point was the genocide in Gaza fine. People have a tendency to just arbitrarily pick a point in history, such as the October 7 attack, and ignore everything that led up to it. The crimes against humanity have been going on for decades, and the west chose to look the other way.

That's very fair, I wasn't clear enough that I meant it was fine to support Israel in the fact they are allowed to protect themselves. Every country has that right.

Unfortunately, the Israeli's have gone crazy with the leeway the west has left for them. It's also funny that though the EU supports Israel overall, they still send lots of aid to Palestine cause they recognise that Israel is destroying that part of the world

So, Russia has a right to protect itself in the territory of Ukraine that it occupies too then?

The territory they occupy in Ukrain is not theirs. They literally gave it to the Ukrainians during USSR era.
