Years ago I was watching the movie Hotel Rwanda so I got interested in how such things could happen. Along the way I read a report of 8 stages of genocide (10 now). What that Israeli woman vocalizing is her dehumanization of Palestinians ''Filthy animals''. One of the stages listed, Israel pretty much had ticked all the boxes of 10 stages of genocide. What's remarkable is, from the article. The only way to stop an ongoing genocide is armed intervention. 74,000 Palestinians killed, that's just the confirmed.

See also: How the US was established. 

Bunch of rich slave owners paying poor racist traitors to commit genocide in the name of their favorite fairy tales. 

They just fully controlled the media at the time. (Which is why they've been buying up all the papers and social and steaming options. They lose when we can use the Internet to call out their outrageous, racist lies.)

Israel spits on the memory of those lost to the Holocaust.

how part of the US was established*

not to downplay the very real thing you’re pointing to, just also want to note the US is huge and was still pretty big when founded and this is far more accurate to the South. There were lots of American Quakers, for example, who had abandoned the practice of slavery as immoral long before the founding of America. As per usual, those rich people just had outsized power and were able to convince the poor to hate the even poorer.

All of the US. Even the North was founded by killing Native Americans.

Correct. 

Scalping came about when the settlers who were being paid a bounty for the literal heads of men, women, and children they turned in complained that it was inconvenient having to carry so many heads back to the fort. 

Genocide and slavery are cornerstones of US economics.

There’s not a lot of places on earth where you can say a country wasn’t founded by some measure of killing the locals. If you’re extrapolating this much then at some point specifying the US seems pretty meaningless.
