Not that the 20 year occupation of Afghanistan wasn't an absolute clusterfuck, but the Taliban were harbouring Al-Qaida leadership. To say otherwise is just denying historical facts.

Oh, hey, yes, you're right, there's that too: the US also invented the concept of the "war on terror", which has now been adopted by Israel, for example, to justify the genocide of the Palestinians. It's really handy when you can just "excuse" the cold-blooded murder of thousands upon thousands of civilians with the argument that they are all supposedly terrorists. All you have to do is say, hey, they're harboring terrorists, so let's kill them all, including the women and children - the more we kill, the better, because once they grow up, they'll all be terrorists.

israelis were killing palestinians long before the war of terror though

That's true, but now with the same argument that the US has legitimized, on an unprecedented scale. Not that this is any kind of justification, but once again it is the US that is making it possible - by preventing UN sanctions against this criminal state.

The precedence in Netanyahu trying to stay in power.

All the pro-peace israelis get killed by far-right extremists.
