Why am I the only one with a moral responsibility?

You aren't. You're just the only one with control over your own actions.

Where’s your moral responsibility?

The same place as every other citizen's?

Is it okay with genocide as long as it’s over there?

It's not okay with genocide. Unlike your sense of morality, it regards "More genocide" as a BAD position to take.

It’s okay over there but here crimes a magnitude lower suddenly become a moral imperative?

lmao, what. Tell me more about how murdering minorities here in the USA is a crime "a magnitude lower" than murdering minorities in Israel. Real telling what you think about non-white Americans and GSMs.

You have no morals.

Coming from someone advocating for the deaths of both more Palestinians AND American minorities?

lmao

Yup the occasional murder by racist is 100 percent comparable to a man made famine and campaign of ethnic cleansing by military units.
