> is engaging in expansionist wars worse at this point than Russia's

You should really reevaluate the news sources you use if you think that

I mean Russia at least has a point that there are some people who live in Donbas who would be open to joining Russia, at least at the onset of the war. Israel doesn’t even have that, almost no one in Lebanon wants to join Israel. Outside of the settlements almost no one in the West Bank wants to join Israel.
