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.

    I guess getting genocided makes it more likely to commit one yourself.

    Maybe Palestinians will be the genocidal cunts in the year 2104 if this pattern holds. Weird to think about.

      If we remove the outside resistance, no, just as likely simply because of being of genocidal species.

      If we don’t, then being genocided yourself and becoming treated specially because of that does, yes.

      First, because of being treated specially. Second, because of those likely to commit genocide supporting you to minimize their PR expenses, and thus your friends and allies being genocidal.

      Israel’s allies are like US and Germany, which, BTW, has made such notable apologetic actions and reparations only in case of the Holocaust, - they haven’t done anything except the official apology in case of Herero genocide, and their stance on the Armenian genocide was just recognizing it without criminalizing denial, and with very little attention to German Empire’s role in organizing it (basically German military advisors in the Ottoman Empire were involved in this as much as they were in actual warfare).

      I don’t think I need to say anything about US, even the political status of Native Americans in the US could be something better.

      But Israel is also friendly with Turkey - Israel has the PR advantage of being a genocide survivor nation, and Turkey has a resources and strategic position advantage of unpunished genocide perpetrator nation. One needs the resources help, another needs the PR help. They satisfy each other’s needs, and really a lot of basic goods in Israel are actually produced in Turkey. Even some military stuff.

      Strangely enough it’s the same with Germany - they are clutching at every opportunity to publicly support Israel, and wave that support against anything bad they do. “We are friendlier with Israel than you” is their indulgence against anything.

      This is, of course, solvable in the balancing way - Israel’s Holocaust PR should be universally shunned and condemned, their agent network investigated, exposed and controlled, and their military kicked out of Palestine, and Turkey should be kicked out with carpet bombings out of Western Armenia, Pontus, Assyria and Cilicia. It takes resources, like everything else. But the reward is huge for those of us not making money on suffering.

      The problem is the psychopatic way geopolitics work currently. Peaceful West Asia, less corrupt\poor Latin America, less uneducated\poor sub-Saharan Africa could make our whole world far richer and pleasant to live in. But it would definitely change all the elites and ways of existence of currently powerful countries.

      Don’t confuse Israelis with all Jews, especially not with the ones that got genocided.

      Never forget that actual Holocaust Survivors have been deemed antisemitic by Israelis for comparing some of the actions of Israel with those of the Nazis.

      More broadly only a handful of people who were directly affected by the Holocaust still live, of which only a fraction in Israel, none of which are the ones doing this (if only because they’re too old) or in Government. In fact the majority of the families in Israel were never affected by the Holocaust even indirectly because most come from elsewhere than Western Europe, a large fraction of whom from Russia.

      There is no such thing as a “Jewish Hive Mind” (or whatever the magical thing that would be necessary for every member of the Jewish Religion to share the actual trauma lived by some) which means that the vast majority of these murdering ethno-Fascist psychopaths have no real relation to the Holocaust other than sharing a religious affiliation with the biggest group of victims of it, a distant and entirely “in paper only” link.

      So it’s not at all surprising that people who have never actually experienced the trauma of being victimized in that way but grew up immersed in the kind of racist indoctrination that tells them they’re part of a “chosen people” and hence inherently special themselves, unlike other people, especially the ones being oppressed in their name who they are told are “violent” and even “human animals”, would do such a thing to those other people: in fact the surprise is how long it took the rest of us to discover how much of it they were already doing and discover the true depth of their depravity.

    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 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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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 take their response as a reason to continue the holocaust. Ask any person who’s demographic is being ethnicly cleansed what they think about their oppressors, and you’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.

        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.

        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!
