          That can't be true. Israel is bombing everywhere in Gaza indiscriminately. If the US was covertly on the ground in Gaza, they would be murdered.

            It's not totally indiscriminate, they aren't shelling their own forces or they'd have a revolt. US special forces are known to be embedded with them doing "raids". US surveillance uncrewed aerial vehicles (drones) are also in the area providing them surveillance. There was recently an unconfirmed report that a top US sniper was shot and killed there.

    Is there a difference, under international law, between a State that supplies money & arms to terrorists who commit a genocide and a State that has boots on the ground committing the genocide?

      One is committing genocide, the other is complicity with genocide, and there's a case for conspiracy, incitement, and attempt to commit genocide.
