I don't think there is any guilt about the genocide. It has almost passed out of living memoryThen call it "institutional memory". The US has supported Israel, since it was the first country in the world to recognize Israel. We continue to support Israel, because we always have.
Israel also takes every opportunity to remind everyone. I went through the Israeli pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal. It was all about the genocide. There was a TV miniseries in the 80s, that, to my recollection, first called the genocide the "holocaust".
So they wield an out-sized amount of powerIf that was the case, the US would not have dragged it's feet two years, before getting in the war. Dachau was opened in March, 1933. Kristallnacht was November 9, 1938. The Nazis started forming Jewish ghettos as soon as they invaded Poland, in September 1939. Starting on July 18, 1941, British signals intelligence started picking up communications describing mass murder of Jews. On September 12, 41, Churchill was informed of what signals intelligence had been picking up. It still took the December 7th attack, to get the US moving.
Remember the St Louis incident?
A Ship of Jewish Refugees Was Refused US Landing in 1939. This Was Their Fate
As the M.S. St. Louis cruised off the coast of Miami in June 1939, its passengers could see the lights of the city glimmering. But the United States hadn’t been on the ship’s original itinerary, and its passengers didn’t have permission to disembark in Florida. As the more than 900 Jewish passengers looked longingly at the twinkling lights, they hoped against hope that they could land.
Those hopes would soon be dashed by immigration authorities, sending the ship back to Europe. And then, nearly a third of the passengers on the St. Louis were murdered.https://www.history.com/articles/wwii-jewish-refug...Yes, the US has plenty of reason to feel guilty about what went on in Europe, that the US did not interfere with.
