Addressing video footage on social media purporting to show Palestinians being killed by Israeli bombs, Joe Rogan told the millions who listen to his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience on Tuesday that Israel was committing genocide.

If you cant talk about that, if you cant say thats real, then youre saying that genocide is okay as long as were doing it, he said.

Then he brought the Holocaust into the discussion.

Youre saying that from the perspective of someone who literally went through the Holocaust or your people, your tribe. You went through the Holocaust and now youre willing to do it? he said, apparently directing his statement at Israel.

Democratic Majority for Israel called the prominent podcasters statement wholly false and dangerous.

Joe Rogan accuses Israel of genocide. Compares the war in Gaza to the Holocaust. Hes just plain wrong, and he really ought to have someone on his podcast who disagrees with him for some enlightening, informative conversation, wrote Joe Walsh, a former Republican congressman from Illinois. Instead of just tossing that ugly charge out there.

Rogans podcast was ranked as Spotifys most popular of 2023. He has 16.4 million subscribers on YouTube.

In February 2023, Rogan was criticized for saying, The idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. Thats like saying Italians arent into pizza.
