Are you saying my personal experiences are not sufficient to form my opinions?

Generalizations about a group require more than the 10ish people you've interacted with.

I’ll tell you what’s not an opinion: killing civilians is a war crime.

*Intentionally killing

I understand you want to focus on precise language as a way of dodging any discussion of Americans being involved in any such nasty business.

There are specific criteria that have to be met. Being complicit in an act requires knowledge of the act and participation in the act. Filling up the gas tank of a car used as a get away vehicle doesn't make you a bank robber. Supplying a group arms that are later used to commit war crimes is not by itself a violation of arms treaties or internantional law. Once you prove a war crime has been committed you then need to prove that the supplier knew the weapons would be used to commit war crimes.

Do you have evidence that the Israeli government has a policy to target civilians? Killing civilians is bad but for war crimes you need to prove intent. Before you get assed up I'm not disputing individual Israeli soldiers committed war crimes but whether those acts were Israeli policy.

Next do you have evidence that the US knew that the Israeli government was targeting citizens when it supplied Israel with weapons?
