Considering that the Sovs were one of the earliest supporters of Israel, and instrumental in its victory in the '48 war, I wonder how tankies would react to Israeli genocidal colonialism today if Israel had maintained a close relationship with the Soviets and red-painted ideology.

This is straight up dumb af. No one can do jack fuck about Pooh. He does what he wants with no consequence because he is among the smallest handful of people who will never face consequences no matter what he does.

Israel is a shithole run by a pissant and the US could cut its legs out from under it in seconds.

Last time I checked criticism is free and warranted for both.

... how does that negate the hypocrisy of the position that Israel is engaging in genocidal imperialism (true) but that China's behavior is AES and beyond criticism by the filthy Westoid Shitlibs(tm)?

Right. This is why Israel, before extreme amounts of US aid was the norm, was repeatedly destroyed despite being every bit as genocidal in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.
