Yeah they’re different. Israel killed many times more civilians in a fraction of the time.

It's almost like the circumstances are entirely different.

The numbers are iffy, but yes, it’s about 4x as many civilians killed in Gaza as Ukraine:

The difference being the IDF lying about why they destroyed a hospital and Russia lying about whether they were the ones who destroyed a hospital?

Al Shifa was used by Hamas, which made it a legal target. Ukrainian forces did not use Kyiv Children's Hospital for military purposes.

First, that article is paywalled and the subheading just says that US intelligence confirms a suspicion. US intelligence also said Iraq had WMDs so they aren’t that reliable.
The IDF entering the hospital is a different thing from the complete distruction of the hospital and all of the other hospitals they have destroyed in Gaza. Or all of the other infrastructure they have destroyed, always claiming it was used by Hamas.
The IDF has also lied multiple times about not killing the journalists they have killed. Or the aid convoys they attacked directly despite the IDF knowing they would be trainsporting aid.
They are lying liars and claiming anything is ‘used by Hamas’ should be immediately suspect.

Archival link for paywall. I trust US intelligence more than you, random internet stranger.
