Scott Galloway tells El-Sayed that using the term genocide potentially justifies a genocide against Jews. El-Sayed responds:
1) Do we have to wait until more people get killed?
2) Calling something a genocide does not justify a genocide. That is not the argument anyone's making.
3) Neither you nor I are scholars on genocide. I leave it to scholars on genocide in Israel itself who've called this a genocide.

Fun behind the scenes about this appearance. While Oliver was on air I was in the other room and a sitting Florida state representative called me a self hating Jew and said I support the eradication of my own people.

Glenna Milberg reporting live from Jerusalem in April 2023 for Israel’s 75th Independence Day
notice how she says "taking away Israel's money" as if it's not our tax dollars
This is the full portion of Oliver Larkin's interview that discusses Israel. There are about 2 extra minutes here prior to him saying "Israel is committing a genocide."
Oliver Larkin gets stopped by journalist Glenna Milberg mid-interview after saying Israel is committing genocide in Gaza
"That is factually incorrect. That's propaganda.
The definition of genocide, and the UN has said this, does not apply to—what many people might think is a disproportionate wartime action—that's what that is.
Genocide is a very specific thing, actually genocide being committed against Jewish people, not by Israel."
Larkin responds, "The UN recently in Geneva found that the IDF had deliberately targeted women and children.
There's been famine conditions imposed over the Gaza strip by the blockading of aid. There's been indiscriminate bombing of hospitals, of mosques, of churches—"
"Again, I'm going to have to stop you, as that is factually not correct. I'm being told we have to wrap."

From a reporter’s perspective, it’s crazy she corrected him on air. You can establish that the UN commission inquiry and several human rights orgs found genocide occurred in Gaza. But to say it is “factually incorrect” is not the job, nor is it accurate. Disputed? Sure. If someone killed a child and her mom said “he murdered my son” on air, you wouldn’t correct them and say “well he actually hasn’t been convicted of murder.” Attribution is like the first lesson of jrn school.

Keith Edwards talks to Oliver Larkin about establishment Democrats working with Laura Loomer to try to cancel his rally
Oliver: "I see a real impulse from the James Carville's and Van Jones's and the people that are working hand-in-glove with Laura Loomer and Randy Fine to cancel this event to say that progressives don't belong in this party.
And I just think that this is not a strategy that is going to be effective in building the broad-based coalition that we need to win this election in November or take back the White House in 2028"

Abdul El-Sayed is asked on MSNOW if he is worried that his anti-Zionist messaging "echoes an old antisemitic trope"
Abdul: "The idea that somehow we are going to use the spectre of antisemitism to defend what a foreign government is doing, does a deep disservice to the well-being of Jewish Americans in this country."
Jackie Alemany: "You haven't made that same tradeoff argument with regards to other items in the US's 800 billion dollar defense budget"
Abdul: "Oh I have, you just don't cover it. No, No, No. I have. You just don't cover it. I'll say the same thing about the money we send to Egypt, which is where my family comes from. So if you want to go ahead and call me anti-Egyptian, go ahead and do that"
