Bullshit. Yeah there will be some people who say that whatever the political situation is. Nevertheless, if you want to remove Israel, that's just one less free state in the Middle-East. Jews are an actually respectable and safe people unlike the Muhammadians. Just don't mess with their land, Israel.
Totally ignoring the fact that they started the war with a mass murder. When they attack your own people you can do all the virtue-signalling. But oh, wait, you could never defend your own people in such a situation, since the Left controls no weapons, so your opinions are worthless anyways.
Of course, Leftists and Muhammadians will continue to co-exist in peace once all the Jews who mind their own business and the less problematic Christians are gotten rid of.
In fantasy realm. Leftists can't even keep a state without relying on the foundations built by these religions. Come up with at least one working state whose laws aren't based on religious morality and we'll talk about the possibility. It's easier to criticize existing societies based on one or two problem points (that happen to be big) than come up with a working model that everyone can accept that solves all those problems.
I'm not defending religion, and neither is Israel a theocratic state unlike all the surrounding countries. I defend liberalism and humanitarian values, a strong nation like Israel is the only one that can defend itself.
I'm anticipating you somehow justify calling for the drowning of a bunch of 20-year-old climate activists, on Twitter, and profiting from the attention...
Something about how they have it coming?
Lindsey Graham's tweet got 17.1 Million views, and counting.
It may be nuts, but it changes thoughts because it's embedded in millions of people's real lives. While the senator's tweet may not be acted on directly, it fuels the media ecosystem that calls for, and drives, such violence. It sways sentiment in the real world in a way OP's less engaged article never will.
Tweets like this are what put shameless, crazy right wingers (and crazy left wingers) in control of the world. Jihadists terrorists take advantage of it, MAGA takes advantage of it, Israeli demagogues take advantage of it, and others ignoring that is how we got to this place.
