What are the "conventional" means to get fanatical Zionists and the US military to end their criminal occupations? or is their rhetoric simply another covering yet another interimperialist deal?

Russian policy supports uniformed (official) fighters (soldiers) waging war in compliance with international law. It also aims to ideally avert any such war through political means.

There's no "interimperialist deal" in this case, it's just the policy that advances or at least ensures Russia's interests as much as possible.

Of course, like all countries' policies, sometime it isn't consistently implemented (e.g. political and perhaps other forms of support for non-uniformed fighters in Donbass from 2014-2015).

In that case, however, Russia had a degree of influence over them, unlike Iranian-backed fighters in West Asia whose actions risk harming Russian interests there in a major way.

Whether you agree or disagree with this policy, and I'm not interested in influencing your opinion about it either way, this is indeed the policy.

A lot of folks have fallen under false impressions about Russian policy over the years due to self-interested (usually clout- and profit-driven) Alt-Media disinfo campaigns.

It's important to acknowledge the policy as it objectively exists in order to then analyze and critique it. I hope that my brief explanation helped clarify Russia's approach.
