Pro-Netanyahu Channel 14 Incites to Genocide in Gaza, Israeli Groups Claim in High Court Petition [View all]



The petition argues that Channel 14 has broadcast "near-nightly calls for murder, mass killing, and the destruction of Gaza's civilian population – and sometimes even for the annihilation of all Palestinians or Arabs." These statements, they say, form a clear and sustained pattern of "overt and unambiguous incitement."

According to the petitioners, Channel 14 has repeatedly portrayed Gaza residents as "animals" who must be "exterminated," a narrative they argue has taken hold among large segments of the public.



Other cited examples include: "The more humane solution is to starve them, okay? I think Israel's interest is famine and humanitarian disaster in Gaza" (Itamar Fleischmann); "Riklin, are they killing 100 terrorists a day? There are 2.5 million terrorists there!" (Eliyahu Yossian); and "There are no innocents. In 1948, they brought the Nakba on themselves. Now they'll have a second Nakba – for real this time. Finish Ben-Gurion's work" (Nave Dromi).

In a June 2024 broadcast, Yinon Magal reported that 42 civilians were killed in a targeted strike on a Hamas leader – prompting applause from the studio audience. Magal added: "This is the morality of our army … I'd be fine with 500 civilians killed. Yes, those are my values."
