The emphasis on infection and poisoning puts one in mind of the "Nakam" plot to kill six million Germans (initially, the loved ones of NAZIs rather than actual NAZIs) in revenge for the holocaust. The plot went through a couple of variations, but all involved poison and in the end some thousands of interned SS personnel were poisoned with arsenic. See:
After what the Nazis did to the Jews I'm not unsympathetic to doing that to SS personnel. I don't agree that they should target the families. That's just cowardice.
The difference here is that I've never done anything to the Jewish community (I'm not antisemitic) or to the Starnes/Reitman cult.
I support both the Jewish community against antisemitism and the Palestinians against Israeli government and Settler extremists and extremism.
George Orwell (in an essay that touched on the Scottish National Party as well as Jewish and Arab extremists) wrote that excessive sympathy for one group almost always led to excessive hatred for another. He may have been writing about the Middle East and Scotland (which he loved) but his thinking was shaped by his experience as a policeman in Burma and a volunteer soldier in a Bolshevik militia during the Spanish Civil War. It was one of the right-wing falangist politicians in Spain who told the Bolshevik firing squad that executed him, basically as part of a propaganda exercise, that "life is not a firework, to be let off at the end of a garden party."
It's worth noting that General Franco did not actually defeat the Bolsheviks until they had captured and murdered most of his rivals for leadership of the falangist faction. They did an excellent job of doing his work for him. In the end, hatred only allows you to be manipulated into your own destruction.

The plot leader then told his follows to desist and concentrate on building Israel, rather than seeking revenge, but not all of them agreed.
