(1/4) “Two Nice Jewish Boys” bills itself as Israel’s “longest-running English-language podcast”. Here hosts Naor Meningher & Eytan Weinstein discuss their desire to exterminate 5 million Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the West Bank — to “erase every living being”, (Meningher)
(2/4) This is not a fringe show or fringe people. Meningher has done media for Netanyahu's last five political campaigns.
(3/4) The show is as mainstream as it gets. Here it is promoted in the Times of Israel as working to "build a better future together".
(4/4) In the exchange, Meningher claims most Israelis would also push a button to exterminate Palestinians. Weinstein corrects him: "Jewish Israelis" and adds that they would kill not only Gazans, but all Palestinians in "the Territories".
The two have since doubled down:

The Kremlin's chief ideologist can barely contain his glee today.🧵
Aleksandr Dugin wrote an article in the "New Right" journal Arktos in which he explains Putin's smirking claim that he wanted a Harris victory.
Those claims were eagerly repeated by MAGA with a tone of "See, morons? Putin likes Kamala."
Astonishingly, it turns out he was lying.
Anyway "Putin's brain", as he's sometimes known, expects great things, including the Russian conquest of all of Ukraine. Not just the parts occupied now.
Quote: "Putinism has triumphed in the United States."
This question is key.
The answer is the Kremlin, Trump and a small group of oligarchs weaponized what has always been America's greatest vulnerability: the ignorance, gullibility, and childish instincts of a large part of its population.
54% of US adults cannot read at a 6th grade level.
The US today proves that you can have mass functional illiteracy and still have a successful - even thriving - economy.
But what you can't have with mass functional illiteracy is a successful democracy.

If you think on a fifth-grade level, candidate A who speaks like a fifth-grader will make sense to you. Candidate B who thinks and speaks at a more highly-educated level will not.

Another group of IDF soldiers posted video of themselves smashing the MRI machine at the Turkish Hospital near Netzarim Junction, Gaza.
This is a FM MAG 7.62mm machine-gun with a rate of fire of 12/second. It’s meant to fired in short, aimed bursts. Here an IDF soldier sprays a whole belt of unaimed ammo into a neighbourhood.
You can see it’s not the first belt because the breech is already scorching his fingers.
Much has been said about bombing in Gaza, but less about the way IDF uses smaller weapons.
Here’s an IDF tanker spraying MG fire without looking or caring where it goes.
7.62 rounds can penetrate walls and can travel 4km+. This soldier also doesn’t appear to be under fire.
A lot of this appears to done for videos the soldiers post to social media. Here a whole IDF squad fires into Gaza with 120mm tank shells, rifle & MG fire, and one soldier randomly launches a 40mm grenade.
These soldiers are clearly not under fire or engaged in direct combat.
