Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want.
In fairness, a lot of American understanding comes via some nationalist flack with a mega-phone screaming it into your ears for your entire life and drowning out any vestige of memory from the past.
Americans understood Vietnam well enough in the moment, but had that understanding drummed out of them all through the 70s/80s. Then they were reintroduced via the Iraq War, but have since had it drummed out once more.
The next war will bring a new epiphany. But by then... who knows. The American state is already sloughing into decline so quickly that it may not matter.
