In this scenario, who is America ethnically cleansing?
I've been told Biden is guilty of genocide, is that no longer true?
Yes, the US is currently aiding and abetting Israel's genocide. In violation of International humanitarian law and domestic US Law.
Amnesty
In a new research briefing submitted to the U.S. government today as part of the National Security Memorandum on Safeguards and Accountability with Respect to Transferred Defense Articles and Defense Services (NSM-20) process, Amnesty International USA details civilian deaths and injuries with U.S.-made weapons, as well as other cases that highlight an overall pattern of unlawful attacks by Israeli forces. The briefing also details practices by Israeli forces inconsistent with best practices for mitigating civilian harm and provides clear examples of the misuse of defense articles, the commission of torture, and the use of unlawful lethal force. Lastly, the briefing also details the denial of humanitarian assistance to the civilian population of Gaza.
“It’s shocking that the Biden administration continues to hold that the government of Israel is not violating international humanitarian law with U.S.-provided weapons when our research shows otherwise and international law experts disagree,” said Amanda Klasing, National Director for Government Relations with Amnesty International USA. “The International Court of Justice found the risk of genocide in Gaza is plausible and ordered provisional measures. President Biden must end U.S. complicity with the government of Israel’s grave violations of international law and immediately suspend the transfer of weapons to the government of Israel.”
“The evidence is clear and overwhelming: the government of Israel is using U.S.-made weapons in violation of international humanitarian and human rights law, and in a manner that is inconsistent with U.S. law and policy, said Klasing. “In order to follow U.S. laws and policies, the United States must immediately suspend any transfer of arms to the government of Israel.”
And if Canada agreed with you and started launching rockets at the US on that basis, it would suffer the consequences. Much like Hezbollah.
If the US historically colonized Vancouver in the past, until an Armed Canadian Resistance forced the US to withdrawal, and the US continued to occupy and ethnicity cleanse let's say Alaska (if Alaska was not a part of the US in this scenario), and that armed group would continue to resist as long as the US occupied indigenous people, then yes. The genocidal US regime would extend it's aggression to Canada once again
Let's try an actual historical example.
Russia historically colonized Lithuania in the past, until the dissolution of the Soviet Union forced Russians to withdraw, but Russia continued to occupy and ethnically cleanse Kaliningrad (formerly the German city of Konigsberg).
What do you suppose would happen to Lithuania if it started launching rockets at Russia in an effort to decolonize Kaliningrad? Same as Hezbollah: FAFO
And if Russia also had plans to recolonize Lithuania as part of a greater Russia, should they fight back or should they dissolve their military and hope Russia doesn't, despite that they have in the past and the notion of a greater Russia is popular within the Russian military and government officials?
Plans are not an act of war. China has plans to take Taiwan. The US has made detailed plans to attack everyone, even Canada, if necessary.
If Russia fired actual rockets at Lithuania, that's an act of war and Lithuania would have a right to defend itself.
In this scenario they would have, at residential areas to get civilians to evacuate
Hezbollah started firing rockets at residential areas in Israel back in October. That's an act of war.
Israel has fired rockets at Lebanon before then too. And before that repeatedly violated the airspace
2007 - Present
Until recently, the border had been relatively quiet. Occasional rockets or drones crossed from Lebanon into Israel without leading to serious escalation, while Israel violated Lebanese airspace more than 22,000 times from 2007 to 2022.
While the withdrawal was certified by the United Nations, Lebanon disputed it, arguing that the Shebaa Farms was part of its territory, and not part of the Syrian Golan Heights, which Israel continues to occupy.
So there are two separate issues here that lead to the current dispute: the first is that Israel occupies the Golan Heights and treats it as its own territory in violation of international law, and the second is that there was already a pre-existing disagreement between Syria and Lebanon over the border, prior to the Israeli occupation.
