I didn’t post that meme

Ok.

And for what it’s worth, I believe Israel is currently perpetrating a genocide. That doesn’t mean everything they’ve ever done was always 100% evil.

That's besides the point. The meme is lying about who attacked whom in 1967. Israel destroyed the Egyptian air force on the ground in a surprise attack. The USA has done evil things, but I'm not gonna lie and say they launched a surprise attack against Japan in WW2. Facts are facts.

I’m against re-writing history

So am I. That's why we can't accept a meme that says the Arab countries jumped Israel with a knife and it then defended itself with superior firepower. Total contradiction of the facts.
