Perhaps you should go ask them, how did killing my family and stealing our lands make their life better?

I haven't killed anyone yet.

so, you would commit genicide of 2 billion Muslims, if given the chance, due to the actions of a few? Because that is what you are saying. Do you not reconize the corrilation of that though, or belief, that puts you in the same catagory as Hitler and other evil people in the world's history? Hate is a terrible and dangerious motive, specially when it leads to wanting 2 billion people dead, out of revenge.

Oh, I know that it's historically common occurrence, I just mean it's a really strange thing to be advocating for in conversation these days (at least among reasonable people).

It's not that rare an attitude, at least in the less-lethal form of thinking everyone should separate and that the 'other' should be driven out of your lands (and go and make their own country someplace else). Wanting to kill all of them as our overexcitable poster claims to want is pretty extreme, granted, that puts you up there with the Nazis (certainly if you ever actually tried to put it into practice, rather than just raving about it).

But the slightly-less-murderous version is not uncommon on both sides in Israel/Palestine, for example. Nor was it in the former Yugoslavia, and it's what a lot of both the white right and the more militant - and maybe more pessimistic - political groups representing ethnic minorities in the West claim to want.
(It's how partition came about in India in the first place, and it seems as if the impulse is still there in that country also).

Probably the "get out" mentality shades into the "kill them all" one. The threat of killing is one way to get people to go someplace else.

DIfferent human groups would get along just fine if they adhered to a simple rule:

Do not offend anyone identifying with a particular group and especially do not dare to joke with them, unless you know VERY WELL that no offense will be taken at your joke.

As for groups (like Israelis) who think they are the chosen one to rule the world, cut off all ties with them and let's see how they make it on their own. Effin' parasites have been leeching off of the US since the Holocaust and using that as an excuse to funnel who knows how many trillions into their world messing projects.

Look at what they did to Intel, for example. Raptor Lake is an Israeli Design Center invention. Look how well that is serving Intel. How long before they need to sell off their office furniture to keep the lights on?

New conspiracy theory: As soon as Intel is close to bankruptcy, a huge investment group owned by Israelis is going to swoop in and take ownership of Intel, for basically pennies.
 
There have been two indictments and zero convictions under the Logan Act in the 225 years the law has been on the books. I'm not sure what one would have to do to earn an indictment. Maybe publicly declare, "I am representing the official policy of the United States" before a foreign government?

I agree, this is one of those rules with zero teeth (so it's not really a rule). Pointless.

Blinken: Israel accepts cease-fire bridge proposal; now Hamas must 'do the same'
Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Israel has accepted a U.S. proposal that aims to bridge differences in a cease-fire deal with Hamas, the United States' top diplomat said Monday.
 
Haha Elon banned Julie Kohler and Meidas from having an interview on twitter.

Basically she was saying.. the rising extremist MAGA movement is looking to squash women back into “traditional” roles & define the American “family” through a very specific lens. This isn’t just a conservative fever dream, it’s the Republican policy.

And the media is totally on board with it because it gets them ratings and money.

So the refs in the media and the refs on courts are both tainted.
