Fair. Let's give context to "Death to America":

1983 Beirut Barracks Bombing

1984–1985 Lebanon Kidnappings

1996 Khobar Towers Bombing

Iraq War Era IED Campaign (2003–2011)

2011 Attempted Assassination of Saudi Ambassador in Washington, D.C.

2019–2020 Attacks on U.S. Forces and Embassy in Iraq

Iranian Missile Strikes on U.S. Forces in Iraq (2020)

Here I'm ignoring most proxy action and ignoring the many attacks that targeted Israel.

I 100% agree context is important.
