If Ukraine started the war by invading and killing 1000 Russian civilians (and making sure to record lots of video of it), they probably would've gotten a lot less support too.

It would be interesting to see what would've happened if Israel just straight up invaded Gaza with no provocation. I doubt western governments would've sent weapons to Hamas, but I do think Israel would've been roundly criticized and aid cut off.

Yes, because the Palestinians started everything on oct 7th, not the fact they've been ethnically cleansed for the past 80 years. Not the fact that Israelis have been systemically killing them and taking their land for the past 80 years. This hypocrisy is not new, but it become apparent to a lot more people who didn't know about it before.

Israel has invaded Palestinian land in the past with no provocation, I mean, thats how the state of israel was created...

Western countries rarely actually care about justice. Usually its a political tool they use to their advantage, never against themselves or their allies.
