There is a war between Ukraine and Russia. I am sure there are a large number of angry Ukranians who have made similar unthinking cruel statements about Russians in exasperation and anger. I don't think they are a danger to society.
There has been an ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine for many years. Some bystander may have been killed by the IDF and their families, in their grief, in a moment of unthinking weakness, said something bigoted. I don't think they are a danger to society.
Incitement to violence is a crime and has some criteria to be satisfied before it becomes criminal. In those cases the words ought to be treated as instructions, and so the act of engaging in a conspiracy to harm someone is the crime, not the words themselves.
