That's definitely not the case. Where I live almost everyone supports Ukraine uncritically (less than a couple years ago, but still) while opinion on Israel is much more divided but generally in favor of Palestine. Even a majority of european, generally extremely pro-imperialist governments voted in the UN for a ceasefire. There have been protests going on pretty much everywhere, which wouldn't have happened in a million years in response to the Ukraine war.

The response has been undeniably more lukewarm than the jingoistic fevor that happened when the Russia-Ukraine war begun.
