      Let’s not pretend that the US is magically incapable of independently being vile, lol.

      Israel as a nation state did not exist until 1948. We were committing atrocities well before that.

        Federal, state and territorial governments of the US paid bounties for the scalps of Native Americans and in some states, for Mexicans as well. There was a mass depopulation effort to make room for settlers.
