So, all 2 million human lives in Gaza? I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the people who give a damn about this situation, including Americans, would find this both grotesque and unacceptable. Plus, the primary Hamas leadership doesn't even live in Gaza. The IDF could kill every Palestinian in Gaza and throw in the West Bank for good measure, and Hamas would only seem increasingly justified in their antagonism. Ideas are not defeated in wars.

Which would also be considered unacceptable, generally. America's historic and/or hypothetical treatment of neighboring and indigenous populations should not be considered a calibration point for the rest of human civilizations' behavior, for ever and ever. Frankly, that whole comparison suffers from what the OP criticized in Western imperialism. Such behavior by conquerors no longer goes undocumented and forgotten, but rather publicly displays to the world yet another moral failure of humanity.
