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.

    Someone will unironically post this as though that’s not what every member of Hamas means when they say “from the River to the Sea.”

    Yes, this guy is an asshole. Yes, there are assholes in every political group. Yes, there are podcasters in YOUR country calling for genocide of some group.

      "Yeah these guys are calling for literal Genocide, but that’s what “from the river to the sea means!”

      What an incredibly weird whataboutism and wild claim to make without evidence.

      Meningher has done actual media for Netanyahu’s campaigns.

      How does anything Hamas are doing have any bearing on this guy openly broadcasting his genocidal fantasy?

    A few months ago I started using Google Translate to read what Israelis are saying amongst each other in their mainstream publications and forums.

    My. God. Levels of entitlement and racism that would make a Klansman blush.

    Sure, a lot of them want a cease-fire to get the hostages back … and most don’t like Netanyahu … but the average Israeli Zionist is a racist monster.

      You have to remember that their religion teaches them that non-jewish humans are, well, ‘not that important’

      To put it mildly

        The vast majority of Jewish people in the world realize this is wrong and ignore this part of their ancient teachings. Don’t go shaming the whole religion over some violent extremists.

        Israel was also secular when it was founded. Look it up. This is 100% on their government and right wing extremists and not Judiasm as a whole.

            Because if the majority of people following a particular religion reject a prior view as false or wrong, then arguably that view is no longer part of the religion.

            Religions aren’t crisp, unchanging, monolithic entities where everybody believes the same thing forever. If we’re talking about judaism in the sense of the views and practices jewish people actually subscribe to, then that seems like we are referring to beliefs they actually hold in a mainstream/current sense, not beliefs they previous held but now reject?

              So you’re saying that because a religion allows you to choose which of God’s commandments, carefully passed down through every generation, you personally want to follow based on your gut feeling, can’t be shamed?

              Why should the ones who choose to deny parts of their religion be seen as representative of it over those who’ve chosen to uphold them?

                No, that is not what I said.

                Why should the ones who choose to deny parts of their religion be seen as representative of it over those who’ve chosen to uphold them?

                I definitely answered this in my original comment.

    At this point I vote we forcibly remove EVERYBODY from the entirety of Israel and Palestine. If they can’t share it nicely, nobody should get to have it.

        They said remove, not murder. Realistically it would never work without creating huge problems for all involved, but I’m sure they were mostly joking.

        Like " no body gets to play with the ball if you can’t share nicely" … not, murder the kids.

        Edit: this is about clarifying someone’s word, not my view… You can’t just move everyone lol
