"death to america" does refer to an end to the US empire- not the American people. I've talked with a fair number of Iranians who dislike their own government and Americas reign of terror around the world.
From "the river to the sea" means an end to the apartheid government in occupied Palestine. It's projection from the murderous settlers that a unified non-apartheid state would mean their own extermination- because that's what they do to the undesirables in their unified state.
The government isn't the people.

Comparing the hamas attack to the holocaust is like comparing an indigenous people's raid of settler encampments to the holocaust. It is wildly inappropriate and ignores the difference in power between Jewish people under the nazis and Jewish people in a White Jewish ethnostate

Makes it sound like you think they're of similar themes. Theyre not. One was a wholesale slaughter of an oppressed minority, the other was anticolonial violence directed at settlers.
This is reductionist. You need to wipe away of the context of a white Jewish supremacist apartheid state vs the context of being scapegoats for the nazis for your position to make sense.
Also settlers aren't civilians, settlement is part of an extended military campaign of genocide.
Violence is justified against settlers, violence isn't justified against an oppressed ethnic minority. They are distinct things.
Settlers are humans the same way soldiers are humans and the same way civilians are humans.
Bad faith nonsense in defense of settler colonialism, how original
