In order to get rid of the lizard invaders, we should kill all the Jews.

Newcome readers: Don't get scared. Here's some context for this seemingly serious proposal.

God, I hope most people aren't reading it as serious. I thought the downvotes were just because people don't like inane jokes here half as much as they do on Reddit.

Well, I'll admit I only read the title before diving into the comments, and in that context it's sufficiently obvious. Although I'm twisted enough that adding descriptions like "ideas that spontaneously come to mind (and feel great)" just makes it funnier.
