Israel doesn't want to give Palestinians full and equal rights as Israeli citizens. Ukraine likewise doesn't want to give the people of Donbass full and equal rights as Ukrainian citizens, as evidenced by them banning political parties that were popular there and shelling their cities well before Russia was involved.

What has the Ukrainian government ever done to show that they're interested in governing the Donbass in the interests of the people living there? What has Israel ever done to show that they're interested in governing the West Bank in the interests of the people living there? There is no hypocrisy, you're just not examining the issues beyond a surface level knee jerk reaction.
