I'm pretty sure the point is that the IDF has killed a higher ratio of civilians than the US did in a conflict where they dropped TWO nuclear bombs on population-centric cities

Nobody asked if you thought they deserved it, but thanks for offering I guess

I get what you're saying, but OP said America is extremely racist, but the Imperial Japanese was far more racist by the standards of the time.

The US and Japan were racists before and during World War II, but the latter is more racist by the standards of the time and even by today's standards.

I'm not sure what the point of asserting that is, if not a tacit justification for killing civilians

I'm only specifically addressing OP's particular statement that I have mentioned.
