Whoopie Goldberg infamously said the Holocaust was not about racism. In a way she has a point similar to the one you're making. Hitler had a reason to consider Jews "Enemies of the state." There is an article I read decades ago on the pro-Jewish, pro-Zionist website jewishvirtualhistory.org titled "Could we have stopped Hitler." That article admits that prior to World War 2 there was an organized international boycott of Germany by Jews who saw Hitler as dangerous. The Zionists conspired with the Hitler to undermine the boycott in exchange for Hitler allowing more German Jewish emigration to Palestine. I look at this as undermining the legitimacy of Zionism as they would sell out their own. But of friend of my, who's ethnic Mexican, had a different take. He viewed the boycott as an act of war and concluded this justified rounding up Jews and putting them in concentration camps. (That literally blew my mind.)
So really all of this comes down to statism and collectivism versus individualism. From the "state" point of view, almost anything can be justified to ensure the "state" continues, thrives and propagates. Slaves might act in their own interest and against the state? Threaten them with death! Jews might act in their own interest and undermine the state? Set up the concentration camps! Anti vaxxers and pro gunners might threaten the state? Well....I think you can see where that goes.
Anyhow, above the state, above my race, above my family, is God. And I truly believe God's hand was with Canada in repelling the U.S. invasion. Andrew Jackson invaded and took Florida to prevent escaped slaves from having a haven there. But Canada remained a haven for escaped slaves as it did not respect the "fugitive slave law." The U.S. Civil War was our nations bloodiest. I believe it was God's punishment on the South for having slaves and God's punishment on the North for complicity with slavery. If you disagree you can take that up with God when we both get to heaven.
