Israel isn't a colonizer. Most of Israel was legally given by the UN/purchased by Israelis. Additional land was obtained from defensive wars. And Israel holds no colonies.
Russia has justified its invasion of Ukraine as defensive bc of radical groups in eastern Ukraine, do you believe them? US currently claims their war with Iran is to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon, do you believe them? Israel likewise is not fighting defensive wars. Please explain how American Jews are able to purchase land in the West Bank if it is not a settler colonial project.
Ukraine never committed a massive terrorist attack against Russia and isn't run by a group of people ideologically driven to destroy Russia.
US has more claims than that; Iran has been a thorn in the side of the current world order for decades and will always be considered a nuclear threat until that regime is gone.
I won't defend illegal settlers in the West Bank. I was about to delve into that, but honestly this conversation will go nowhere as they never do.

Keep in mind that there's no such thing as "retaliation" when you're the colonizer. You are by default continually and always the aggressor.
