In an episode of Two Nice Jewish Boys, which aired three weeks ago, host Weinstein said: “If you gave me a button to just erase Gaza, every single living being in Gaza would no longer be living tomorrow. I would press it in a second.”

He claimed that “most Israelis” would do the same.

Meningher added that they would also want to wipe out Palestinians in “the territories”.

The clip of Weinstein and Meningher lauding the idea of all five million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank being wiped out has drawn fierce criticism online.

“Radio Rwanda in full effect here. This is deeply disturbing,” journalist Samira Mohyedeen wrote on X, referring to the broadcasts that incited genocide against the Tutsis during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

    If you want to see less anti israel posts just block people or instances posting them.

    There is nothing wrong with calling out Nazis. It is duty to speak up against Genocide.

    As for the anti-Palestine posts, those don’t do very well on Lemmy anymore.

      You are completely missing the point. This article is not journalism. There’s plenty of news article based on fact that represent what Israel is actually doing. This is an opinion piece and does nothing but generate views for fascists. You are literally HELPING them. They are profiting off of this article.

        It is not an opinion piece, it’s reporting on a viral event that happened recently. They are quoting people in the article. The article is not written by an israeli paper but a UK based one.

        Here is the clip the article is reporting on it’s a mirror, they are not getting views from this.

        If these guys would get more popular in israel by making these statements that says a lot about israeli society.

      You’re right. we need some sensible, dispassionate coverage of actual modern day nazis: – palestinians flying the swastika, making roman salutes, praising adolf hitler and calling for extermination of every last jew worldwide
