_ “Forgive us if we don’t give a shit if everybody there dies.
It’s just the way we feel. It’s just the way Israelis feel," said
Two Nice Jewish Boys co-host Eytan Weinstein. _

A clip [[link removed]] from
an English-language Israeli
[[link removed]] podcast showing
hosts Naor Meningher and Eytan Weinstein discussing the idea of
eradicating all Palestinians
[[link removed]] in the occupied
West Bank and Gaza [[link removed]] has gone
viral online.
In an episode [[link removed]] of Two
Nice Jewish Boys [[link removed]], 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.”
“Because that’s the reality we live in, it’s us or them, and it
has to be them,” Weinstein said.
He added that Israelis want “full-scale war.”
“Full-scale war wouldn’t mean that we’re just in Gaza,” he
added. “And it also wouldn’t mean what we’re doing in Gaza,
because in Gaza, maybe there’s mass destruction but there's not
massive death.”
“Forgive us if we don’t give a shit if everybody there dies.
It’s just the way we feel. It’s just the way Israelis feel,”
Weinstein said.
In a later episode, the two discussed what they deemed to be
Israel’s failures in its ongoing war on Gaza, with Weinstein saying
that the government should stop “trying to get international
acceptance” and “instill sovereignty over and annex the West Bank,
Gaza… make it all Israel.”
Weinstein added that Israel’s “50-year plan” should involve
conquering Lebanon. He also referred to Hezbollah and its allies as
“goat fuckers.”
On the UN-led polio vaccination program currently underway in Gaza,
Meningher said: “It’s unclear to me, why do we give this
humanitarian relief when our hostages never saw a Red Cross?”
“The baby that’s born in Gaza is technically innocent, I could
give zero fucks, I don’t care if he gets polio,” Weinstein said.
Radio Rwanda
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.
CBC journalist Evan Dyer shared the clip on X
[[link removed]], pointing to
Meningher’s former media roles in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s last five political campaigns.
“This is not a fringe show or fringe people… the show is as
mainstream as it gets,” Dyer wrote, citing a review of the podcast
by _Times of Israel [[link removed]]_that
billed it as a “platform for free and open conversations.”
Journalist Najat Abdi also shared the video on X,
[[link removed]] saying that
she did so “because there will come a time where animals
like @EytanWeinstein [[link removed]] will deny saying
this, particularly when they will be held legally accountable for the
incitement of genocide”.
“Platforms like @YouTube [[link removed]] will also have to
answer to this,” Abdi added.
In response, the podcast posted
[[link removed]] a gif of a
finger pressing a red button.
