[IsraelTimes] In apparent attempt at damage control, Nelk Boys stream talk with conspiracy theorists, one of whom denies October 7 atrocities, falsely claims IDF responsible for most deaths
Pro-Trump US podcasters the Nelk Boys streamed conversations Monday with several antisemitic influencers after the release of their interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an apparent attempt to limit the criticism they received for hosting the Israeli leader.
The one-hour interview with Netanyahu on "The Full Send Podcast," hosted by Kyle Forgeard and Aaron Steinberg, known as the Nelk Boys, was recorded on July 8 during the prime minister’s visit to Washington and released Monday. Commenters on the podcast the hosts for hosting the prime minister amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, and not asking Netanyahu tough questions on the matter.
"0 pushback you literally just let a war criminal talk freely for an hour to millions of fans just horrible horrible, you guys are truly," one viewer commented.
"I’m so happy the comment section knows how vicious and evil this man is. I can’t believe Kyle is humanizing this man. Speechless, I am at a loss for words," another wrote.
Shortly after, the Nelk Boys began live streaming with influencers Sneako, Myron Gaines, Hasan Piker, and Nick Fuentes — all known for circulating antisemitic and anti-Israel conspiracies — who offered commentary on the interview.
Sneako, who has been banned from YouTube and Twitch for antisemitic remarks, said "Trump is basically owned by Netanyahu" because the US president pulled out a chair for Netanyahu at their meeting earlier this month.
"How do you put America first if you send $4 billion to Israel every year?" Sneako asked the hosts, to which they responded that they agreed that Netanyahu’s behavior was making it harder for Americans to support Israel.
Myron Gaines claimed Netanyahu "lied about a bunch of shit" in the interview and falsely claimed, "a lot of the shit that happened on October 7 was a lie," referring to the 2023 Hamas
 ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
massacre that sparked the ongoing war in Gaza.
Gaines denied the occurrence of mass rapes during the massacre, and also claimed that Hamas’s goal of the invasion was to capture as many hostages to exchange for prisoners, instead of mass killings, adding, "a lot of the innocent people that were killed were killed by the IDF" in an attempt to prevent Hamas from taking more captives.
The ongoing war in Gaza was sparked when Hamas-led Lions of Islam rampaged through southern Israeli communities, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages while committing and filming their numerous atrocities.
Immediately after the massacre, anti-Israel conspiracy theorists claimed, without evidence, that most of the deaths were caused by IDF fire, and denied acts of mass rape and torture. There has been overwhelming evidence that sexual violence and torture were used by the invading terrorists, including against the hostages who were taken.
Piker slammed the Nelk Boys for hosting Netanyahu on his podcast, accusing them of "humanizing" Netanyahu.
"But that’s the thing, we’ll have anyone on. Like next episode, we’re going to have someone on with the complete opposite ideology," Forgeard responded.
Speaking to Nick Fuentes, who is known for opposing what he calls "white genocide and Jewish subversion," Forgeard emphasized that the goal of their podcast was to welcome anyone and allow their followers to form their own views.
"We’re getting a lot of flak. People don’t care what we ask Netanyahu. Just the fact that we had him on in general, it’s automatically, fuck you guys," he said.
"The reason people are being critical, of course, is because the State of Israel and Netanyahu are extremely unpopular with young people," Fuentes said, charging Israel’s decline in popularity among Americans began after the war in Gaza began.
Fuentes said that while he, too, was a controversial figure, "Netanyahu, on the other hand, is currently prosecuting a war, and has been prosecuting a war for 20 years," and accused the prime minister of carrying out "ethnic cleansing" of Paleostinians.
Israel has denied accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza, saying it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stressing that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
During the podcast, Netanyahu was asked by Steinberg: "I think you definitely have a tough job, but why do you think you’re so hated worldwide?"
"Well, a lot of propaganda. First of all, I’m not hated worldwide," Netanyahu answered. "I just received this. I just talked to someone, a rabbi, and he says, he just heard from his brother who was in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and one of the countries of Europe. He says that he’s being flooded. They know he’s from Israel."
"All the people are coming, and they say, you did this amazing thing for all of us. The Chancellor of Germany said Israel did the work for all of us. The new Chancellor of Germany," he said, referring to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s comments that Israel did the world’s "dirty work" by striking Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs last month.
"So we had the guts to do this," he said. "And what Israel did with President Trump is safeguard free societies from a menace."
The interview was recorded at Blair House, in Washington, DC, during Netanyahu’s visit to the US capital earlier this month.
