      • Reads “thou shalt not kill” commandment.

      • Declares holy war on indigenous people.

      This goes beyond irony blindness, this is straight cherry picking for convenience.

        The commandment is actually “you shall not murder”. There’s a distinct difference between killing and murdering; murder can be categorised as only a small subset of killing. I could be misled but I’m under the impression that to old testament era Jews killing a non-jew was never murder.

          The Torah states Goyim (non-jews) are the same as beasts, but not necessarily as high on the ladder as livestock. The discussions in the Torah entertain all sorts of unsavory positions (inb4 muh context), but the gist is there is no serious punishment for lying to, stealing from, injuring, maiming, killing or raping Goyim.

          Their holy books are cram-packed full of fucked up shit, but the hatred and active frustration of the Goyim is an overarching theme.

      They’re not immune to it. They’re just irony deficient. Their body can’t process it. It goes into violent spasms.
