>The X-men were character-assassinated so severely in Krapkoa they’re unsalvageable now.
Doesn't the idea of "Mutant Israel" create a whole string of problems just by existing? Because, on the one hand, it completely defeat Xavier's entire goal of creating a world where humans and mutants can live harmoniously side-by-side in the same countries. Because being a mutant is a genetic trait no one can control, especially when it's "Activated", which resulted in innocent people being discriminated against.
Justifiably discriminated, I would agree in argument because who knows what powers you could get as a part of the X-gene lottery (From something as mundane as shitting out ice cream to as powerful as being a literal walking nuclear warhead), but creating environments that are biased against mutants would only further the hatred and divide between people, which results in conflicts and race wars. Then the other side is everything having to do with Magneto. First, because of all his jihad against normal humans, governments would absolutely jump at the chance of destroying every single mutant by exiling them to Mutant Israel, then firing every single nuke we have at the island without hesitation, and would breath a massive sigh as the "mutant menace" no longer exists. Second, creating a Mutant Israel does sort of imply that you want to be seen as an equal power on the world stage, which doesn't gel with Magneto's ideals whatsoever as he see mutants that the "next step" in humanity's evolution, and wants to wipe out all regular people for being lower on the "evolutionary scale".
>The real answer is that the original x-men are dead and gone forever, and these clones are just clones with the original’s memories copied and pasted in.
Didn't they pull that exact same stunt with Captain America after they made him a Nazi?

>They excused it with saying the original souls inhabit the bodies
Doesn't that open the possibility for different souls to hijack people's bodies? Even then, what about the problem of "genetic deterioration", where the bodies become increasingly sterile and non-functional because you're making copies of copies of copies (
See the Asgard in Stargate)?
>So the current one is a clone of a clone without the original one's soul.
Isn't X23 a clone of Logan? Doesn't that foul things up even further? For example, because X23 is a clone of Logan, that means she doesn't have a "soul" in the first place. So if she has a soul, than that means that none of the clones could possibly be the "original" characters as each new body has a new "soul". Or it could leave the implication that having a "soul" and being a "person" are two entirely different concepts, as you can function as a normal person without a "soul". But then that brings forward the question and what's the purpose behind "souls" in the X-Men universe?
