So they want to hold the Palestinians responsible for the deaths of Americans the Israelis have killed. That sounds about right. America has a pretty long track record of holding others responsible for things their allies have done.

I mean, 15 of the 19 hijackers on Sep 11th were Saudi, so I'm sure Saudi Arabian was held responsible in some form for their citizen's actions right? The others from the UAE, Egypt, and Lebanon, and all of those places were involved in the response too right? No? Afghanistan you say... And Pakistan was hiding Bin Laden almost spitting distance from their main military training center?

That couldn't possibly be right.

"For some reason, Israel has started killing more Americans. I'm sure punishing Palestinians more will stop them."

You may not be old enough to remember, but Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda operated out of Afghanistan. They actually considered all of the other countries you mentioned to be legitimate targets, and did conduct attacks in them. The Taliban refused to just hand them over, and Bush invaded. There was some talk about whether or not Bush jumped the gun and the Taliban would have been allies with a smidgen of diplomacy, but that's the basics. We didn't declare war on Saudi Arabia because the royal family of Saudi Arabia hated AQ as much as we did and was already fighting them.

For fuck's sake!

How much do you want to bet that the Americans murdered by the IDF continue to see no justice just like all of the other victims of the fascist apartheid regime?

The only standards the fascist-controlled SCOTUS has is of the double kind.

This is like Hitler trying to sue the Jews in 1943
