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.

    Nope, just wanted to make sure… The reaction should be the same for both if they call for a literal genocide of the other sides people. Regardless of the side, it’s the opinion of terrorist subhumans.

      Wishing for the death of the side that’s actively ethnically cleansing your side is definitely not the same as wishing for the death of all of the people you are ethnically cleansing.

          So if any Jews, gay people, communists, Roma, etc. during the Holocaust wished death on the Nazis, they were as bad as the Nazis?

          Do you think killing some random person on the street is equivalent to killing someone in self defence in order to save your own life?

            I think targeted mass killing of people of a certain national, ethnical, racial or religious group no matter of their individual actions is a genocide.
