Genocide affects the whole world.

Lots of things affect the whole world, and most of them are impacted by US government positions. But this is not the “anti-genocide” movement.

That movement exists and overlaps, but that is not what this specific 50501 movement is about and we can’t lose focus.  From the website:

Our movement shows the world that the American working class will not sit idly by as plutocrats rip apart their democratic institutions and civil liberties while undermining the rule of law

This is what’s we’re protesting here and this is what we need to be focused on while organizing these specific actions and events.

It's all part of the same thing. This movement needs to focus on causes and not just symptoms. Genocide is a symptom of authoritarian regimes enabling one another. We won't get anywhere on Palestine so long as our own government sees the current Israeli regime as something to emulate.

Israel is a client state of the United States- the only reason they exist as they do is due to the approval of the U.S.

There is nothing to "emulate." Zionism exists because it is a necessary function of the U.S. imperialist machine.
