“Started this millennia” is not the same thing as “USA was the first to ever do that”. Of course groups expanded into territory held by others and pushed them out and killed them. I mean, there’s tales of similar things in the Bible. It’s also not really the same as what is happening in Gaza at all.

I would say the concept of genocide didn't really exist before the concept of the nation-state, which is a relatively recent development that happened to coincide with the so-called "discovery" of the New World. That's hardly the USA's invention though! Europe pioneered the concept and used it to colonize all over the world.
