What an utterly false equivalence.

One guy loses his "volunteer" position, which in fact he was being paid to do by either the Russian government or the Russian military (via Baikal Electronics).

The other side has missiles and drones falling on their cities.

Losing the sense of balance and proportionality, with everyone being equal, is what takes you down the road to war...Not good.

The West was trying that. We were trading with Russia and so on.

Russia invaded, and again, and again, and again.

This is whataboutism.

Isreal maybe is not my cup of tea, but at least they have some justification for waging their war because they were attacked first. So Israel with all its faults is not in the same league with Russia.

Edit: typo
