Why Is Palestine/Hamas Being Treated Better than Russia/Putin?

There are some striking similarities and differences between what is happening in Ukraine and Israel. ~~~~~ SIMILARITIES : *Both Ukraine and Israel are innocent nations that have been attacked by aggressive foreign terrorist groups : pro-Russian separatists and Hamas (joined today by Hezbollah in Lebanon, putting Israel on a two-front status). *Both Ukraine and Israel have had their territory invaded by hostile neighbors : Russia taking Crimea and fomenting war in east Ukraine because Russia wants Ukraine as a buffer against NATO and Europe, and Hamas, the part of Palestine that controls Gaza and wants to destroy Israel, because of its hatred of the Jewish people. *Both Ukraine and Israel have mustered their military to defend their people and territory against invaders. *Both Ukraine and Israel have had to attack in areas where the hostile forces are using civilians as shields. *Both Ukraine and Israel have asked for ceasefires and negotiations which have been routinely rejected by the hostile invaders, Russia and Hamas.~~~~~ DIFFERENCES : *The US and most of Europe have imposed severe sanctions against Russia, while the US, the UN, Europe and Middle East countries continue to pay millions of dollars to support Palestine, knowing that some of these payments fund Hamas. *The UN Security Council has condemned the actions of Russia's separatist forces, while for many years only the US veto has kept the UN Security Council from condemning Israel. *The world's governments and media have been quick to condemn the shooting down of a commercial plane by pro-Russia separatists using Surface-to-Air Missiles provided by Russia, but except for the US and Britain, no one, while reporting the facts, has condemned Hamas for firing more than 2,000 rockets into Israel in the past 10 days or condemned Hamas for using tunnel warfare to invade Israel to kill and kidnap Israelis. ~~~~~ Dear readers, these comparisons and differences are troubling and raise questions of conscience for every human being. MY CONCLUSIONS : Does the world simply see European hostilities and deaths as more important than those in the Middle East. If we add up Israel, Syria and Iraq, the answer seems to be "yes." Does Israel - that has built the capability to defend itself and uses that capability - face condemnation for not allowing its people to be slaughtered by jihadist terrorists? The answer seems to be "yes." Does the world tolerate any Palestinian/Hamas atrocity while demanding docile acceptance of these atrocities by Israel. The answer seems to be "yes." Have the actions of the world and its representative body, the UN, taught Palestine and its patrons that they are preferred and may continue to attempt to destroy Israel. The answer seems to be "yes." I do not want to ask the obvious next question -- is the world still largely anti-Semitic. The answer seems to be "yes," except for America, and despite the efforts of France and Germany to obliterate this bloody stain on Europe's past. We need to wake up. Israel is the nation that brings brotherhood and value to the world. Hamas brings ethnic hatred, terrorism and an utter lack of concern for human values. The world has rightly decided to make Russia conform to civilized norms. This choice is correct. Now, it is time for the world to decide to make Palestine and its patrons conform to civilized norms. This choice will also be correct.
