My family members, some friends, relatives and neighbours have been radicalized due to fake news and hate messages on whatsapp. My mother, who used to take me to temples, churches and mosques alike as a child, now hates minorities. My sister who's childhood best friend used to be a Muslim, now says that most Muslims should be killed.

So while such ads/posts might not make you want to kill the "others" immediately, there is significant population which will get radicalized over a period. Then one trigger event is all it takes for a mob to turn into murderers. You can read about how Radio Rwanda fueled the genocide.

IMO the difference between who gets radicalized and who doesn't is based on how much exposure one has to different cultures. But then my sister who has visited Auschwitz supports genocide, so there must be more to it.
