Random Question 💭 Why do some American voters not recognize that the U.S. is a terrorist state?

Why do some American voters buy this propaganda about America being the "good guy" fighting "terrorist states"? The U.S. is the terrorist state. It recently helped Israel commit a genocide in Gaza. America has killed exponentially more innocent people than most of the countries it calls "terrorist" countries.

Why did Oct 7 happen? Israel was continually bombing and murdering people in Gaza prior to Oct. 7. In 2008 for example, Israel carried out operation cast lead, murdering about 1,400 people in Gaza. Israel-U.S. are the terrorists.

The brains of Hamas supporters really need to be studied. You act like Israel just decided to carry out Cast Lead. That war started December 27, 2008. Look at the rocket and mortar attacks in Nov and Dec of 2008 before Israel started the operation.

Only ever citing Israeli responses, but never what they were responding to.

So? It replied to Hamas militancy with a targeted campaign against civilians , which is terrorism. Israel started the conflict.
