I don’t tend to engage with people whose only rebuttal is to a strawman, because it’s not going to do a damn thing. Takes more effort to refute the bullshit people like that will fling than an argument with them on the internet is worth, so I usually just point and laugh.
That being said, allow me to give you a more accurate representation of my argument; because I’m feeling generous.

There are five major wars America participated in that tend to be prevalent in my generation’s psyche. These, listed chronologically, are: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War 2, the Vietnam War, and the War on Terror.
Of these, two of them dealt heavily with genocide. World War 2 because we were simultaneously avenging one and preventing its completion, and Vietnam because the overwhelming attitude of the US’ commanding officers in that war was, “Kill all Commies,” and the majority saw no difference between a Communist and your average Vietnamese person.
Therefore: in my generation’s psyche, our country is one and one in terms of genocides stopped and genocides attempted.
In addition, the United States is one of the main sponsors of Israel as a country, and is basically the entire reason it hasn’t been wiped out by all of its neighbors, who hate it and everyone in it. They all realise that to attack Israel would cause the US to retaliate and basically wipe them off the map. This gives the US a certain level of responsibility for what Israel has decided to do whilst under that protection, since it wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
Further: the UN’s call for a ceasefire in that conflict has been vetoed by the United States. So basically that makes the US responsible for allowing the bloodshed to continue.
Therefore: yeah, the United States is, in fact, responsible for Israel’s continuing genocide attempt by vetoing the call for ceasefire and not doing anything tangible to stop the bloodshed committed by a country it has protected from its inception to today.
Overall: we are one and one for genocide v not-genocide, and it’s not looking good.
Crying strawman isn’t going to make your shit attempt at an American history lesson more accurate.

Lmao, did you think writing it twice would make it more true?
See what I mean? Much easier to just call you a grade-school dropout and call it a day.
