This is about the most horrific thing my government has done in my lifetime. It's hard to even process. In any other context I think we'd call it terrorism.

You have missed a LOT then. We do HORRIBLE things all the time.
That the government also does other horrible things does not negate the argument. I am not sure why you would bother saying that. This one is literally a war crime.
> This one is literally a war crime.
Probably a few dozen of those a year.
In other news, Israel fired White Phosphorus in Lebanon in residential areas. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/human-rights-watch...
Nothing will happen.
It takes force to prosecute war crimes.
Not visibly as gruesome, but here's something worse: https://youtu.be/KP1OAD9jSaI
You must be like 8 year old then
If you think 100+ dead children is the most horrific thing your government has done, prepare to be even more shocked - ‘Unimaginable horrors’: more than 50,000 children reportedly killed or injured in the Gaza Strip ( https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/unimaginable-horrors-m... ). But ofcourse, Biden says Gaza offensive 'not genocide' ( https://www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-biden-says-gaza-offen... ). (And Trump wants to build a nice Oceanview resort and casinos in Gaza!). Note that the Gaza genocide is still ongoing, and Israel (with the full support of US) has now started harassing, killing and chasing away Palestinians from the West Bank too ...
I believe in karma and genuinely feel that the bad karma that the US has earned by supporting such wanton massacres and war crimes is going to haunt your nation pretty soon - this is all going to be a precursor to the downfall of the United States as a superpower and a nation. I don't see how you can salvage this in any manner - the nation may benefit materially in the short term, but the soul of the nation is surely doomed.
Having previously worked for the defense intelligence agency, I can tell you nothing about that is surprising.
