During a recent South Florida TV interview, DSA congressional candidate Oliver Larkin said that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a statement host Glenna Milberg repeatedly called factually wrong before cutting short the interview. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that the definition of genocide includes what Israel has done in Gaza, including killings, serious harm, deprivation of necessities, and measures affecting births, while also criticizing Milberg’s framing of the conflict as merely “disproportionate wartime action.”
They then accuse U.S. and mainstream media institutions of being influenced by Zionism and argue that criticism of Israel is routinely suppressed or reframed, while making additional claims about Israeli policy and media figures. The segment concludes with the hosts arguing that Israel’s conduct has caused them to reject previously held prejudices and condemning what they characterize as systematic propaganda and censorship.
