If there is no difference then please name the Terrorist Organization that spent decades carrying terrorist attacks agaisnt Russia (including shooting up a school) from the disputed Ukrainian territory?
Russia entire official justification is that the people in these are Russians who want to be Russians. Israel is not claiming the population of Southern Lebanon is Jewish, this is being done purely as a self defense messure.
I don't even personally think it's a good idea for Israel to do this right now Lebanon is on the verge of kicking out Hezbollah on their own, Israel invading could only give Hezbollah actually the propaganda boost it wants.
But that's a tactical criticism not a moral one.
