In Israel and the US most people support the atrocities

Next to that I said I dislike how self centered most Americans are, and I explained this comes because of education, culture, religion, etc

This is you making generalizations about the vast majority of the population of America.

I haven’t been addressing much of what you’re saying because I’ve been trying to stay on topic, but you’re employing the Kent Hovind method of misconstruing information, specifically his preferred tactic known as the Gish gallop.

I will briefly address a few points you made. First, Greenland is not a country; it is a territory of Denmark, with a population of roughly 50,000 people. Second, Iceland is somewhat more defensible, as it is often seen as a model for societal behavior, similar to New Zealand and various Scandinavian nations. Even so, it is not difficult to identify controversies within its borders. For example, Iceland has a history of miscarriages of justice, including the use of prolonged solitary confinement during investigations. Ironically, the United States shares this issue. Nevertheless, it remains a blemish on Iceland’s record.

The primary issue is that you are attempting to defend what is effectively indefensible. You do not gain the moral high ground simply by stating that you dislike America. By that logic, I could just as easily claim to dislike Iceland based on its treatment of individuals within its legal system.

You are making broad assumptions and generalizations about an entire population within one of the largest and most influential countries on Earth. Regardless of your perspective, that is an objective reality. You are grouping together the worst actions of the country and applying them wholesale, creating a framework that positions you as morally superior while condemning anyone associated with it.

Pardon the use of the comparison, but it feels warranted. You sound like Adolf Hitler. You will likely reject that characterization and respond at length to refute it, but that is how your argument comes across.

I have already spent more time on this than it merits, and I have no interest in continuing to engage. Good day.

Such an American response. Instead of responding to my arguments, you attack me on things that I didn't say. You change my words, avoid my arguments and my questions, get offensive by telling me to fuck off and to top it off, call me Hitler. Classic Trump playbook, call anyone you don't like Hitler and/or a communist while avoiding critical questions. You're such a self centered ignorant American who has no clue on how the world works. You're just proving my point about the average American. Talking about Hitler, the US right now is in the same stage as nazi Germany near the end of the 1930's.

Only fascists would make a claim they love their fascist country.

Let that fucking marinate mate. Cheers.
