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.
Yikes. Incredibly disgusting.
There is only one button these guys are pressing
it’s parody. Sending a message to the jew-hating jihadists using their own language against them. I’m sorry but it looks like OP skipped the “middle-east beginner pack” and needs to go back to square one. that place is not the west. those people are not western people. they don’t have western culture, values, assumptions. and if those so-called “palestinians” met you, they would immediately smell your western liberal weakness. they would instantly despise you for it and treat you despicably.
wow, would you be ok to boil them and make soap as well? or make random medical experiments on them maybe?
“Feeling genocidey, might delete later.”
Jetblue responded quick.
Well that’s fucked.
If a Palestinian said that, they will be immediately branded a terrorist AND get called an Antisemite™ 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. I’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’t take their response as a reason to continue the holocaust. Ask any person who’s democratic is being ethnicly cleansed what they think about their oppressors, and you’ll always get the sane 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.
The US isn’t turning a blind eye to the genocide this time.
They’re actively involved.Turning a blind eye while providing weapons. Sounds about right for the US
Many Palestinians have said that about Israelis. Do you want links?
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 I’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!
I never said anything like that. Did you reply to the right comment?
What about-ism doesn’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, it’s easy for those same countries to ignore genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and highlight atrocities committed by Hamas as terrorism.
Not true - many Western nations have formally censured Israelis who have expressed and acted on these attitudes.
US issues more sanctions over Israeli ‘settler violence’ in West Bank - Al Jazeera
UK places sanctions on Israeli settlers for ‘forcing’ Palestinians from their land - The Guardian
Those articles highlight sanctions against settlers and a “settler group.” I didn’t see sanctions against Israel.
Yes, that’s exactly what my comment said. Glad we’re on the same page.
Where are the sanctions and condemnations for Netanyahu, Smotrich, Gallant and Ben Gvir? Or did they not make extremely Genocidal statements?
Exactly, that’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?
To the Israelis that do this: yes
Are you saying there are none to very few Palestinians who publicly push the idea of killing all Israelis?
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 I’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.

No, I’m not. I’m saying whoever wants a genocide is a f-cking terrorist.
Did i? Or am i saying the reaction to both group is not equal?
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.
Yes it is. Wtf?!?
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 define killing all Nazis as a genocide?
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.
Funny, if you’d do this in my country you’d get into trouble. But Israeli genocide is so hot right now it seems.
Maybe all Israelis need to visit Dachau or Auschwitz to remember how being actively erased isn’t a good thing. How quickly it’s forgotten.
Israel is in dire need of denazification.
Or the Warsaw ghetto… you know… a segregated part of a country bring reduced to ruin with technological superior weaponry, due to a people resisting the oppressive regime of a racist state.
Ya this was my exact thought, this is Nazism, pretty much the definition of it.
They are just saying the quiet part out loud. This is what zionest and the Christian right want. But there is no magical button to make 5 million people go away. So it’s bombs and starvation as their buttons to push. How many times do they have to tell us why they are doing obviously genicidal acts before we do something?
Until they discover smallpox blankets
They’re already letting a polio outbreak happen.
Polio. That disease most of the world got rid of through modern hygine and vaccines. They’ve bombed them back to the 1500’s. It’s disgusting.
He claimed that “most Israelis” would do the same.
Completely believable
“Everyone’s saying it. All the best people are saying it.”
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
I’m not a fan of anti Israel posts. Just like I’m not a fan of anti Palestine posts. Can we keep this propaganda off Lemmy? I think most Lemmy users are pretty left leaning and we don’t need hate posts every single day about it.
Not to mention all this is doing is adding viewers to these guys. I didn’t know who they were until this post and I can guarantee they gained a few new viewers from this. Better to leave them in obscurity.
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’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
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.
Yeah lets tone police the genocide.
No it’s important to talk about this AND keep the pressure up on our politicians to stop arming Israel to try and force them to stop. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
Yes 100%. However these guys are not associated with the US so calling then out doesn’t do anything. Just another circle jerk for anti Israel Lemmy users.
Also there’s a million real articles about the genocide. We don’t need this stupid article about 2 nobodies who have a podcast.
Nah, I think it’s important for people to see the kind of attitudes that cause a genocide, as that’s what’s happening right now. We shouldn’t be turning a blind eye to it while we’re funding and supplying it. Especially if you live in the West, Israel’s biggest backers, it’s important to acknowledge it so we can fight against it. That’s kind of what “never again” means and requires.
I am all for journalists doing their job and reporting on facts. This is not that.
This is basically a puff piece to generate hate against Israel. You are assuming the general public has common sense. Do you think in Nazi Germany didn’t have anti nazi propaganda? All that type of journalism does is gather the dregs of society and let’s them believe there is a place in this world for hate. When we give credence to these people, whether negative or positive, we give them power. As I mentioned all this article does is generate viewership for fascists.
Two Nice Jewish Boys
Very nice people. They should be proud.
They are some proud boys.
