Saying the US is "complicit" in the Gaza genocide is like saying Hitler was complicit in the Holocaust. This is the USA's genocide as much as it is Israel's.

Saying the US is "complicit" in the Gaza genocide is like saying Hitler was complicit in the Holocaust. This is the USA's genocide as much as it is Israel's. If you saw one man holding someone down while another man slashes their throat, you wouldn't say you saw one murderer and one complicit bystander, you would say you saw someone being murdered by two men. If you drove your friend to the house of someone you hate, helped him break in, tackled your victim together, handed your friend a knife, held your victim down while your friend slit their throat, and then drove the getaway car and helped your friend dispose of the evidence, nobody would describe you as merely "complicit" in that crime. If you were caught, you would both be charged with premeditated homicide, and everyone would view you as a murderer. The US — and to a lesser extent its western allies — have been actively participating in this genocide since day one. They've been supplying the weapons. They've been providing military intelligence. They've been backing Israel in the UN. They've been bombing Yemen off and on to stop it from imposing a blockade in an effort to rescue Gaza. They've been providing political and diplomatic cover to ensure that the genocide can continue uninterrupted without any consequences. Israeli military insiders have openly acknowledged that this genocide would have been impossible without Washington's backing. Both Biden and Trump have had the ability to end this nightmare at any time with a single phone call threatening to withhold aid if peace isn't made. Instead of making that call, they have continued knowingly and actively participating in the crime. Holding onto the struggling victim while the knife blade comes down. The argument for the US-led world order is over. It's done. There is no coming back from this. That they would commit history's first live-streamed genocide in full view of the entire world means they cannot be left to lead the world any longer. The globe-spanning power structure that is loosely centralized around Washington must be brought down. Humanity has no future if these monsters are left in charge.
