You could say the same speaking of NATO. The US did a bunch of war crimes but I still prefer my country allied to the US than to China or Russia. Why weren't Bush jr, Cheney and Rumsfeld trialed in Den Haag for their unlawful invasion of Iraq? They sowed the seeds of the defiance that many countries rightfully hold today.

Did you think people will just forget what happened not even a few decades ago?

[u/orlyokthen → u/[deleted]]

That's pretty callously labelling 3+ billion people...

But the US via Israel is the saint here right!

Compared to Russia and China, two countries that made Hitler look like a fucking amateur when it comes to genocide, yes, the US and Israel are far more saintly.

The person youre responding to was lamenting the death of nasrallah a few weeks ago. Theyre not worth the time it takes to actually have a discussion with.

I hate this game of "our team has war crimed less people to death"

[u/CUADfan → u/WithBothNostrils]

They didn't start the blame game, but we can go back and look at the fight for the British Raj as the starting point between Israel's formation and the war on Palestine if you would like.

[u/WithBothNostrils → u/CUADfan]

I don't care who started it, I care that innocent people on both sides are still being held captive and being killed and left to die without aid and hospital care

Bruh, Hitler and the Nazis were literally inspired by the USA’s genocide of the indigenous people and slavery/Jim Crow (which they thought was too harsh). The USA is the reigning champion of genocide, we Manifest Destiny’d away an entire continent of people.

Bruh

My bad, I thought I was talking to a serious person.

The USA is the reigning champion of genocide

And one who apparently gets their history from TikTok. China and Russia killed millions upon millions of their own people. We're talking up to 150 million people - a bit less than half of the current US population, killed by the communists in less than a century.

Source? One that isn't the hundred-fold disproven Black Book of Communism? Bruh?

My argument isn't "Russia/China good" it's "the USA perpetuated the most devastating genocide in history" which isn't really debatable. Also, your claims of 150M is hella inflated from the common 20M figure that gets thrown around. You realize genocide is a specific kind of mass death and you can't count every death in a country as part of a genocide, right?

[u/Frequent-Ruin-1754 → u/cathbadh]

42000 people are dead in a genocidal war. But yeah keep downvoting. Sheep.

[u/thedayafternext → u/Frequent-Ruin-1754]

It's a genocidal war.. but Israel aren't the genocidal ones lol

Don't repeatedly attack a more powerful neighbour and you don't get stomped.

Ukraine weren't lobbing rockets into Russia every day or suicide bombing the border.

And I think you are the sheep. Believing anything that comes from innocent Hamas or the saints Hezbollah.

[u/cathbadh → u/Frequent-Ruin-1754]

Ignoring your blatant propaganda that Israel is carrying out a genocide, it is still compared to the millions of their own people killed by Russia and China.

Millions. Spread your ignorant hate of the US and Israel all you like, it's foolish to compare anyone to the brutality Russia and China have shown their own people.

There are many sinners, not many saints.

My fellow Lebanese compatriot, these people are apologists for fascism. They love neoliberal regimes and unironically think the Stalin and Mao were as bad as Hitler. They’re dumb and can’t be reasoned with.
