Do you have an example at hand? Genuinely interested

There was this one a few days ago of a popular podcast calling for the killing of all inhabitants of Gaza. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/06/israeli-podcasters-laughing-gaza-genocide-two-nice-jewish-boys

Also the finance minister of Israel saying the starvation of the people of Gaza would be morally justified. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/08/israel-finance-minister-bezalel-smotrich-gaza-starve-2m-people-comments

Thats just the two that immediately come to mind, im sure there are dozens of other instances of influential or even government people saying shit like this.

And this is just the things they say publicly. This doesnt even cover the issue that the whole next generation of young people in Israel were forced to serve in the IDF and end up brainwashed into accepting mass civilians casualties because "there is no other way".

Good question! It is hard to find off-hand examples on English YouTube admittedly but below screenshot is representative of the kind of opinions you see brandished on Israeli media regularly and cheered on in Telegram channels. For context, Ofira Asayag is a major TV personality in Israel.

Edit: 'moderate' Israeli podcasters openly calling for erasing of all life in Gaza, asserting what they called "typical opinions" across the nation.

While "erase Gaza" is a correct translation , the "leave it to us" part isn't. A better translation is "leave us be" ie GTFO Bibi.
