Everything just stayed the same plus one less headache to deal with in the EU. Not bad, really, considering all that's been going on in the last 10 years.

Certainly not the guys who made speeches about and plans to break the previous ceasefire. Nothing improved, so why would they have changed their minds now?
shit, it's already been 8 years...
Syria was WW3's Spanish civil war.
Maybe, but you are missing a point too. Even if it was a mistake to create Israel in hindsight (the world was very different just after 1945), the fact is that there are millions of people who live there, call the place home and will do anything to keep what they have.
Good luck "making them disappear" by basing all your reasoning on dismissing them as zionists and a settler state who cannot possibly feel like they truly belong there.
The best you can get is a palestinian state and expulsion of settlers from the West Bank, but for that you need assurances that Iran or anyone else won't be placing missiles 20km away from any major Israeli city, which anyone who thinks like you will never be able to guarantee, because of what you believe.
Now compare that to russia, largest country on Earth, with infinite resources, enough nukes to destroy every major capital, huge strategic depth (less than the US, more than most countries) acting like they are the victim against a country that committed the crime of not submitting to their influence and then annexing 5 Israels' worth of their land.
If Ukraine had done to russia half of what hamas and hezbollah have done to Israel, nobody would be rushing to Ukraine's defense, like nobody rushed to Iraq's defense.
Human rights can at most make you neutral about Israel vs its opponents, because none of Israel's opponents give a crap about human rights either. Not the case with Ukraine, they at most match russian escalation.
Israel, despite being captured by fucking brutal idiots right now (whereas before Oct7, bibi was eventually going to jail, gee thanks hamas), has always faced some existential threat of some kind, whereas russia never faced any realistic threat from anyone and still brag about their willingness to break all rules for "russian greatness".
No, it is just a convenient muddle to serve your polarizing narrative of what is happening all around the world. When did Ukraine ever attack russia before 2023? When did Ukraine ever declare "death to russia" or that russia should disappear? You keep trying to plug your square peg to a circular hole, because Ukraine is backed by the West.
No rockets or any form of attack or threat were launched from Ukraine into russia before the 24th feb invasion, stop making this dumb comparison.
Now imagine Newton being shown quantum mechanics...🥲
yeah, Veep is the show to watch if you want to get a feel for what happens in government.
Wait, you guys don't have parking sorcerers?
Is the EU "funding" them? I thought all arms to Israel were for profit. Because if they aren't, they should be sent to Ukraine instead if possible.
