That's not relevant to being a tankie as the US, Israel, and other states backing Israel, aren't claiming they're building communism or are the successor state to another which claimed to be building communism. It's the part where communism is an excuse that means the bad things didn't really happen and would be fine even if they did that makes tankie-ism its own distinct thing.

So apologizing and supporting war crimes is fine as long as it is not communism?

Of course not, but it's an unrelated not fine to whether or not someone's a tankie.
