Israel’s Defence Minister Yaov Gallant has ordered the complete closure of the Gaza Strip, including a ban on the entry of food, water, fuel or access to electricity as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the besieged Strip in the wake of the surprise attack by the Palestinian resistance. His comments have drawn criticism for advocating collective punishment of Gaza’s entire civilian Palestinian population in breach of international law.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant ordered an increase in intensity of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Gallant said that the war Israel is fighting against Hamas is “a war for our future.”
He added: “Exacting a heavy price from the enemy is a necessary condition for our existence in the region.”
Gallant makes the comments during a visit to the Israeli Air Force’s underground command centre at the Israeli occupation forces headquarters in Tel Aviv.

You have a point. Though the US white supremesists haven’t launched such organized and open assaults. So maybe it just scales with human rights abuses.
The Oklahoma City bombing was a white supremacist action, I believe.
That’s a mid counter argument imo.
Ok
The USA has some of the worst human rights on earth, as evidenced by their massive prison population.
They don’t need to because cops can just flat out murder people off the streets. And brownshirts are a thing too they show up at protests to harass the strikers. Also they’re not under an active genocide (as much as they try to feign that they are) so there isn’t a lot of violence gas to go ham with.
US white supremacists genocided countless Indian tribes. They also rounded them up in reservations and then enforced policies designed to kill them. Look up the Trail of Tears sometime.
There’s also the terror campaigns waged by the various Ku Klux Klans and other organizations against African-Americans.
If you want something more recent there’s also the Tulsa race massacre. There’s also the many, many deputy gangs in the US. Those launch organized and open assaults against other Americans all the time but they’re also very distributed so we don’t have one big incident to point to.
