Also during ww2 the US refused a ship of jews fleeing nazi germany and made them return. They also won't make anti-semitism illegal cause freeze peach, so US cops often protect white supremacist groups during protests from righteously outraged ppl. US cops also often recruit directly from those groups, and use them to carry out illegal things actions they don't want to be responsible for. There isn't enough space here to even get into the US's anti-semitic past. permalink fedilink source parent [–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 17 points 10 months ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_genocide_in_the_United_States - 4+ million Native Americans killed in a time when overall populations where much lower.
