That just isn't true, the majority of the population of American Indians died via disease without ever meeting a European. Also, Americans on many occaisons had virtually no qualms with just committing outright genocide, whereas Israel actually needs "tactics" to try to cover it up.
Israel doesn't have qualms about committing genocide, they just don't want to piss off their neighbors or make their allies uncomfortable.
I agree, but just for clarity's sake most of the deaths due to disease weren't strictly intentional until long after we were genociding them. I'm not saying it's a mirror image of the US genocides, I'm saying that the Israeli government is modeling their methods after the US, and playing politics about their genocide.
That doesn't really change the main point though.
If the rest of your family dies and you live alone in your house, then I come and force you out and steal your house. I still stole it.
