You are right. Most people view hypocrisy (by this I mean acting one way but criticising others doing same action) as morally wrong at the personal level but the truth is that in politics and statecraft, hypocrisy is normality. Everyone who succeeds in pursuing their self-interests acts hypocritically, leftists, Zionists and other groups realise this. Sure, it is indeed hypocritical that Seattle's Lenin statue isn't tore down while Teddy Roosevelt over minor controversy or that Jews want diversity abroad while having their own authoritarian ethno-state committing ethnic cleansing, but so what? What are the conservatives going to about it? What is the alt-right going to do about it? Hypocrisy in politics is acting in self-interest, and all that really matters is the might to back your self-interest up. The current "ethical" guidelines of society anyway have been built by these groups, they set it so they are allowed to break them and you are not.
