Huh, I've actually seen very little of this in the western press myself. It's usually just been "Israel is conducting a peaceful defensive genocide, which makes it ok, they're nothing like those evil Russians!"

I guess they've realised that people aren't falling for the openly fascist statements by the IDF and so they're trying to switch up to their next line of defence "Ok, our side's actions are reprehensible, granted, but the enemy is still worse!"
