The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on Apple, YouTube and other media platforms to drop a weekly Israeli podcast in English celebrating the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and calling for the killing of all Palestinians.
In that podcast, “Two Nice Jewish Boys,” Naor Meningher and Eytan Weinstein say:
“No one actually gives a sh*t (about the genocide in Gaza). Zero people in Israel…Do you care if this baby in Gaza gets polio? They’ll be like ‘I don’t’ (indistinguishable). There will be like 20 people who care…f*ck them.
“Also, as long as they are in their Nakba state in their tents…(describes normal life for Israelis)…you can’t help but think that it’s nice to know that you are dancing in a concert while hundreds of thousands of Gazans are homeless…it makes it even better…more enjoyable concert…
[NOTE: Nakba, means “catastrophe” in Arabic and refers to the Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948. One of the podcasters has in the past been involved in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political campaigns. ]
“This is how Israelis feel….People enjoy knowing that they (Palestinians) are suffering.”
Also on the podcast: “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.”
Another podcast celebrated the rape of Palestinian prisoners. “They (Palestinian prisoners) should be executed by shoving too large of an object up their butts.”
In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:
“While we are strong defenders of free speech, even for those individuals espousing hate-filled views, companies also have the right to free speech. Apple and YouTube would undoubtedly drop this podcast if it explicitly advocated for the genocidal idea of wiping out any other ethnic group. There must not be a ‘no genocide, except for Palestinians’ exception to the rules of social media companies, which regularly censor perfectly legitimate speech in support of Palestinian human rights.”
