I have some respect for broad anti-war-ism when applied consistently. I don't agree with it, but it's at least understandable.
Being pro-Israel and anti-Russia is gibberish (or racist (or both)), and yet it is the broad international consensus in the West.
US and Israel should have the same penalty, any nation in conflict as the aggressor.
I would not even call it broad concencus
There are a lotmpf people that agree what Israel does is fucked up bit have been raised to be so "Jewish people are victims and can never do wrong" that they don't dare speak out about obvious atrocities leat they be called an antisemitic.
Add to that Israeli and Jewish organizations that will immediately stompvon anyone daring to open their mouth, and yeah, you get a lot of manufactured consent.
The biggest drivers of antisemitism world wide for the past 5 decades have been Israel, the IDF, and Jewish organizations that promote Zionism.
To be clear: I have zero problems with individual Jews. I hate all religions, as all religions are evil but I seriously don't care if you're brown, black, green, gay, bi, trans, Catholic, Jewish or Muslim. Be a good person and you're a friend in my book.
