Russia supports Hamas; Ukraine supports Israel.
This in particular stands out as extremely questionable, if not just outright false.
Netanyahu and Putin have been fairly friendly for a long while, and Israel has in many ways sided with Russia since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 (continuing diplomatic relations with Russia when many countries broke off with them, not sanctioning Russia, not sending weapons to Ukraine, etc).
Both Ukraine and Russia have formally condemned the settlements, and Israel has gotten butthurt about it in both cases. Russia is somewhat more aggressive about reaching a two-state solution and making concessions to the Palestinians than Ukraine is, but it’s not a huge difference.
It’s fairly complicated, but overall I don’t think either Ukraine or Russia can be said to be more supportive of Israel (or of Palestine) than the other one is. Israel has a lukewarm relationship with both. There are no strong contrasts to be made here.
