In an episode of Two Nice Jewish Boys, which aired three weeks ago, host Weinstein said: ā€œIf 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.ā€

He claimed that ā€œmost Israelisā€ would do the same.

Meningher added that they would also want to wipe out Palestinians in ā€œthe territoriesā€.

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.

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

If a Palestinian said that, they will be immediately branded a terrorist AND get called an Antisemiteā„¢ and zionist then walk the street crying about how tough their life are and they just wanna exists.

And in all honesty Palestinian people actually have a reason to hate Israel/Zionest. Iā€™m not excusing any violence by anyone, but for example if you asked a Jewish Polish person during the holocaust if they hated Germany/Nazies, no one wouldn take their response as a reason to continue the holocaust. Ask any person whoā€™s demographic is being ethnicly cleansed what they think about their oppressors, and youā€™ll always get the same response.

We know how this ends when the world (mainly the USA) turns a blind eye. Time after time, the world has shown to be deeply blind to genicide against brown people. If the roles were reversed we would have stopped the killing/war already.

Edit: Grammar

The US isnā€™t turning a blind eye to the genocide this time.
Theyā€™re actively involved.

Turning a blind eye while providing weapons. Sounds about right for the US

Exactly, thatā€™s the reason the world brand them as terrorist and treat them as such, human being lower than the others. Does the same happened to Israel though?

What about-ism doesnā€™t make it right for either side. The point is most western countries refuse to publicly call out this kind of racism when it comes from Israel for fear of being painted as antisemitic. Conversely, itā€™s easy for those same countries to ignore genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and highlight atrocities committed by Hamas as terrorism.

Are you saying the oppressed have no right to have negative thoughts and beliefs towards their oppressors? Really the whole of none wester and none northern would like a word with you. Let me ask you something. Would a Jewish person that lived in occupied Poland during the holocaust be chastised for hating German Nazies? Like Iā€™m not excusing violence of any kind but why are the Palestinians being held to a higher standard than the ones with all the power to do mass harm to innocent people? October 7th was a inhumane tragedy! But an October 7th worth of pain, death and tragedy happens to Palestinians over the course of a few months even before Oct 7th. Where is your condemnation of the Zionest people doing those horrific actions? Like wtf. I feel like we are living in Bizarro world!

Nope, just wanted to make sureā€¦ The reaction should be the same for both if they call for a literal genocide of the other sides people. Regardless of the side, itā€™s the opinion of terrorist subhumans.
