Expressions that border on incitement to violence, like 'eliminate the Zionist state' or 'eliminate Israel as a Jewish state,' are considered within the realm of free expression in the West, despite insinuating violence. Such sentiments are common and not constrained by the group they target. This includes advocating for the dismantling of the Israeli state, which is equated with other violent expressions commonly heard in Western discourse like 'let's bomb Iran' or 'turn Gaza into a parking lot.' The diverse interpretations of these phrases, including non-violent ones, allow for their unambiguous acceptance in discussions.
