Should we fund/send aid for russia too? Since, you know, russian army is not the same as russian people.

Or maybe we should lift sanctions off russia? I have a hunch a lot of pro-hamas people would love that.

Are the Russian people being persecuted such that many of them are being bombed in their homes after being given a token amount of time to evacuate, or many are starving to death?

No they're not. Because the Russians are the actual perpetrators.

Just like Hamas is.

Israel is defending itself against that aggression.

And yeah, being the civilian population of a brutal dictatorship that wages war against neighbor(s) without regard to the well-being of its own population sucks. It's horrible.

Should Ukraine stop defending itself because some Russians may get hurt?

Should the allies not have conquered Germany and Japan in WW2, because of the toll on the German civilian population?

Yes, war is horrible.

Pro Tip: don't start wars.
