I think you are moving the goalposts. America has taken land and property from foreign enemies countless times and you wouldn't argue against this as violating their rights.

America has taken land and property from foreign enemies countless times.... Not to mention a few dozen Indian tribes. Many non-Americans consider this one of America's defining traits.
