Anyone want to try and build a list of fucked up shit the US has done to muslims/MENA countries?
70+ year propping up of the Israeli apartheid state, dispossessing and killing countless Palestinians
1953 overthrow of Iranian government resulting in decades of repression
Operation Desert Storm, featuring such war crimes as the Highway of Death
ringleader of worldwide sanctions for decades on Iraq and Iran resulting in untold human suffering and death
funding of endless sectarian violence across the Arab world
twenty year indefinite occupation of Afghanistan, killing thousands
invasion and occupation of Iraq, utterly destroying one of the largest states in the Arab world and killing a million people, leading to the rise of ISIS and incalculable human suffering
transformation of Libya from the most successful nation on the continent of Africa to a failed state hellscape
decades of extraordinary rendition and torture of thousands of people, whose crime usually turned out to be “being Muslim in the wrong place at the wrong time”
They also provided significant aid and directions for a hideous-scale politicide in the world's most populous Muslim country (Indonesia), though that wasn't about being Muslim, but rather about being on the left.

Anybody got stuff to add?

Ya, I was thinking about adding that. I mean, half the shit on my list was done in the name of “stopping the commies”
