“I just think we need to kill them, every one of them, and that’s it. and if not that because the country won’t let that happen, the government, just at least, the least we can do is just kick them out of our land. because this is our home, this is our land, and we deserve it.”

      Not to defend the “United Citizen Federation” or their imperial expansion onto “Bug” claimed planets, but I can sympathize with Rico’s anger. His parents were killed while he was talking to them, I would probably have some issues with the “bugs” if I were in his shoes. His hatred is understandable, but misplaced. We know that the UCF are the bad guys, we know that Rico is a pawn in a fascist regime, but regardless I think most people can understand why Rico feels the hate he does even if we know that he is unequivocally the baddie in this situation. We can sympathize with him, without condoning his actions.

      But this woman? I am unable to find it within myself to sympathize with her. I cannot understand her hatred, the evil in her heart. She does not hate because she has been hurt. She hates simply because she has been taught to hate.

    Shows how deep the fascism goes. They’re willing to say this shit in front of a camera like it’s normal…because it is normal in Isreal. Advocating for genocide is as acceptable as stating your preference for Pepsi or Coke.

    Fuck these people. I hope she falls into a woodchipper feet first.

    For anyone who has questions about this: If the solution to your problem is to commit genocide, you are the bad guy.

      Yup. Anytime you see one side say the other side is genetically or culturally inferior you know that they’re the bad guys. It’s a shortcut that works EVERY time.

    Abby Martin did interviews with tons of Israeli citizens that said this ages ago.

    Great theory, yes, fantastic. We’ve been doing this shit since the Roman Empire and the world is no better because of it." Even if I give you moral standing WHICH IS A DEATH CULT TIER SHITTY IDEA TO DO THEN GENOCIDE DOESN’T WORK! IT FIXES NOTHING AND WE’RE GOING TO KEEP BURNING THIS EARTH TO A CRISP AND DESTROY LIFE AS WE KNOW IT! Even if you were suggesting giving every Palestinian a pony, if we’re upset at the state of things after giving people ponies for 2500 years we should tell you to shut the hell up about ponies. We should be sick of ponies
