So you think the latter should be illegal to say?

The state has a monopoly on violence. So yes, proposing a law that makes being Irish punishable by death would be fine by me (though I wouldn´t vote for you) but broadcasting an appeal to the general populace to start murdering Irish people in your neighbourhoud Rwanda-style would not be.
That distinction is ridiculous. The state is a representative of the people (in theory) and saying that the state should murder Irish people is equally as wrong and violence-inciting as saying the citizens should do it themselves - and the result will likely be the same. If people think murdering the Irish is silly they will ignore you. If they think it has merit, they will do it themselves or charge the state to do so.
