Not defending Israel or the UK or denying Plastine genoice, but Iran's president really wanted Israel wiped off the map and really meant it. Iran and Israel are both at the wrong here.

Even worse, Europe is paying for the priviledge

Just going to say this, sometimes it's useful to confront with people, but be wary of the slippery slopes of negativity that tend to develop online.

Focus on yourself and improve first, the more you look for something, the less likely you'll get it (and yes, this desperation likely transpires on dating profiles and irl converdations).

But if a civilization is peaceful, would it exterminate another just because they are a threat? It seems quite ruthlessy egoistic. Maybe they would just intervene at some specific point, without extermination but by somehow gatekeeping our expansion and letting us live without spreading evil.

You can. I can enjoy Hitler's paintings because they contains no nazism, even if a nazist mind produced them (you could argue that in his youth he was not yet a nazi, but that still doesn't matter).

Heck, I'm going even further and say that even if a form of art posses some inheritely bad aspect, you can still separate it from other artistic characteristics.

Let's say Hitler did a panting of a gas chamber killing people in a death camp, but is painted in such a skillfull and technically relevant way to be revolutionary in the art, then it's ok if people like it (technically, not ideologically), it's ok if it's owned and hang in a museum, even if it depicts real, evil and needless suffering. You can approcciate something technically or artistically without having to embrace the ideals it represents. And it's important to not cancel things just because bad people did it, because remembering is important.

As for modern bad artist, it's more complicated because you might not want to financially support an artist who is a criminal/terrible person, but that still doesn't mean you can't appreciate their art.
