Yeah, but US drone strikes aren't so intense on one small area or group of people
What do you mean? There's a whole generation of Yemeni children afraid of Sunny days because those are the days that people die. I'm a place that gets 300+ days of sunshine a year.
We we're much worse.
It’s not a genocide. Not defending what we’ve done, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare to genocide
I would fully disagree. We targeted civilians, not in war zones at functions like weddings, funerals and other explicitly civilian gatherings. We (the US) had the intent to kill civilians, and our tolerances for civilian casualties were an order of magnitude larger than what the IDF is using.
If anything it's not comparable because what we did was worse.
It's 100% comparable. We're talking about collateral budgets for strikes. That's exactly what happened in both of these scenarios.
It just so happens they have different budgets, but they both had allowances for allowing innocent people to be killed alongside potential targets. On one hand it's plus one two three maybe even five allowable collateral on a target. On the other hand it's 100. But it's the same thing
All the starving people in Yemen would disagree with the not genocide comment. Like in Palestine, a religious nationalist is committing atrocities with full US support.
Sounds like the equivalent of US drone strikes.

It's either okay to kill civilians or it's not.
