How? I'm pretty sure 'diversity' in the OP isn't about political diversity.

True

Non-muslim majority nations should not implement Shariah.
Shariah itself is backwards and its implementation would lead to a misuse of it leading to a Saudi Arabia-esque situation in the West.

This means we can use the word, just not in a bad way. So don't punish anyone who uses kafir.

I am intolerant of Palestinian aggression, terrorism, and anti-Semitism.

But I'm sure you think those are perfectly fine, along with murdering women and children. Gotta kill all those pesky Jewish occupiers, am I right?

There is no such thing as Palestinian defense, only aggression, terrorism, and murder.

I don't know what life-and-death situations you're referring to. I am not only referring to Hamas, but Fatah and the entire Palestinian Authority.

I need you to show proof where I support this.

Are you saying that you do not support murdering the Jewish occupiers and uprooting the evil Zionist regime?

It is my own humble opinion that as long as you aren't harming others or cramming your culture down other's throats, I don't give a damn what culture you are and neither should anyone else.
Telegram me things you want me to put in the "Codex Imperialis"
The Holy Solar Empire (or simply 'the Empire') is a FFT interstellar federal empire that is attempting to restore galactic civilization in the wake of the apocalypse while simultaneously having to fend off hordes of literal demons. The setting is a horrid Frankenstein of numerous Sci-Fi Universes (predominantly 40k and Doctor Who/Faction Paradox).
NS Stats are for nerds. I don't use them and neither should you (if you must, use stats as an indicator of the "average Civilized World"). With that said, according to this index, the Victoran Empire is a Tier 10, Level 8, Type 9 civilization with a Power Comparator of 3.9

Oh, come on. They're all complicit.

So, you support the killings of Israelis, be them men, women, or children, complicit in the Israeli government's "crimes"? How would you even determine who is "guilty"? I could understand viewing government ministers and the IDF as guilty, but what about private citizens?

And what of those not complicit? What happens to them?

Holy shit. This is exactly like that meme from the Jordan Peterson interview. You are capable of arguing without just shoving words into other people's mouths, right?

I am in favour of punishing those who slaughter villagers, those who evict Palestinians from their homes in order to build settlements, etc. The average Israeli is not at fault for that. Not even the entirety of the IDF is at fault for that.

We can't even really blame the IDF, because isn't it compulsory to make Israelis serve military time?

Punishing them how? Also, slaughtering villagers? What? You're aware Irgun and Lehi no longer exist, right? What "slaughters" are you referring to?

Also, you've avoided the question: what happens to Israelis not complicit in the crimes you're referring to?

You said you didn't support killing Israelis, I asked "Why not?", and he basically said #notallIsraelis, leading me to infer that killings were not completely off the table.
