Settler colonialism is not about race, it’s about the goal of eliminating one society by forcibly establishing another and pushing the original one out. What you are talking about is called ethnic cleansing. Settler colonialism attacks the idea of Palestine and Ukraine, ethnic cleansing is killing people systematically because they are Palestinian or Ukrainian.
Israel does their settlement one way, because they are racially and religiously motivated, Russians do their settlement another way because they are imperialistically and national chauvinistically motivated.
Yes, they are not exactly alike, but the actions and end goals don’t differ as much as the motivations.
Have you ever noticed America being very white and not very native American?

Russians do their settlement another way because they are imperialistically and national chauvinistically motivated.
There’s Russian colonization of Crimea but the goal of Russia is to annex Ukraine and forcibly assimilate its population. Not to wipe out or expell all Ukrainians.
