Change my view: It is logical for the humans to exterminate the X-men and mutant kind and that's a good thing

1. The mutants clearly think they are better than humans - They think having the X gene makes them special and that they will one day replace humanity as the next step in human evolution, which is clearly incorrect taking into account that mutants come in a high enough variety of forms that successful mating strategies may not even be possible and you might get one or two offshoot races from some of the more stable mutant genes at best.

2. Mutants are clearly not the next step in human evolution - post humanity in the future timelines is clearly better and more advanced than mutants and the only reason mutants win is because the phoenix force ( Literal dues ex machina ) has a girl crush on a mutant.

3. There exist humans that are already more advanced and smarter than mutants, without othering humanity. - The fantastic four are all humans. Spiderman is a human. Iron man is human. All of them more than capable of leading humanity forwards beyond the stars without a single bit of Mutant DNA in sight. Which again supports the fact that mutants are not inherently better than humans.

4. The mutant gene is too unstable - The mutant gene produces mutants with planet destroying powers and mutants with a different hair color at random. What happens when a 13 year old randomly develops the ability to explode like a million hiroshima's anytime they get upset? It could happen at any time any place and you are never guaranteed to get there in time. Mutants due to this genetic instability are an actual threat to the existence and day to day life of humans.

5. The mutants keep undermining Earth's interests in the Galaxy - Mutants go out of their way to participate in the games of galactic empires, this puts Earth at constant threat the moment one of these galactic powers becomes upset with Earth. You end up with one planet fighting a galactic power. They pretend to be humanity's representatives to other intelligent species without any say from the humans. They have forcefully taken control of Earth diplomacy.

6. Mutant culture is completely disconnected from human culture - Mutant kind completely disconnects themselves from how humans behave and value one another. This makes it impossible to determine what the values of mutants are or how to interact with them or how to assimilate them. Most of the mutant cultures are more often than humans about killing those who get in your way. I know more humans who would hesitate to kill one another than mutants who would hesitate to kill one another.

7. Mutants are willing to treat human killing mutants like friends and family - Human heroes are clearly more moved by the act of humans that kill mutants than mutants are moved by the act of mutants that kill humans. This is clearly visible in the willingness of accepting mutants like Apocalypse and Magneto among their inner circles.

8. Even when mutants are helping humans, it is never about helping humanity or helping sapien kind - Even the kindest mutants go out of their way to ensure that people are aware that there is a difference between mutants and humans. They talk about wanting to be treated as equal, but would never accept being labelled as humans rather than their own species. This clearly shows an unwillingness to normalize themselves as part of humanity and a very humanity excluding mindset.

9. Even the kindest of the mutants are either bigots or threats to humanity on a global scale - Charles Xavier is capable of killing all of humanity's leaders just by thinking about it. The only thing stopping him is him waking up every day and choosing not to do so. There is nothing these world leaders can do to protect themselves. Xavier could destabilize and cripple humanity at any waking moment he wants. Cyclops, one of the poster child for mutantkind, is someone who clearly looks down on humans and humanity even while he does philanthropic work. Cyclops has been on record referring to humans as apes and also been known to willingly work with Magneto and hold similar ideals and act upon them at times. A living nuke is obviously too dangerous to keep alive. What can you do about the fact that the nuke now has a human face.

In conclusion:

Human heroes can protect Earth well enough that mutants aren't really needed. While most of the mutants are not a real threat, omega level mutants can occur at any point in time and pose an extinction level threat to the entire planet as long as they are alive. Taking into account that there is no way to track which mutant will randomly be born as a planet destroyer and how they will use this power, it is only logical to eradicate the X genome entirely to ensure the safety of the species and the planet as a whole. Add in the fact that mutants actively consider themselves as distinct from humans, and we can see the possibility of mutants being willing to or normalizing exterminating anybody without an X gene.

The only smart move for humans is to exterminate the mutants and keep moving towards a post humanity civilization instead.

We don't need bob the bullying teenager to randomly erupt into a category 9 tsunami, we need a species capable of handling and controlling planetary forces responsibly as a group.

I stand with Israel.
