Kid Rock and Joe Rogan clashed over the Israel-Hamas war, with the rock star declaring on Rogan’s podcast that Israel should begin killing civilians in Gaza as much as “40,000 a f–king time” if it desires to win the war.
“Only wars we won were f–king ones where we were essentially the most brutal motherf–kers on the planet,” Kid Rock said on Thursday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“I don’t disagree with what Israel is doing,” the country-rocker added before sharing his idea of how Israel should handle the conflict, which heightened on Oct. 7 when Hamas terrorists ambushed an Israeli music festival, slaughtering a whole lot and taking dozens of others hostage.

Rogan pushed back, noting that civilians in Gaza usually are not armed and don’t have any selection as to who’s in power or how Hamas acts of their name.
“You’re not alleged to pick civilian targets. That’s actually a war crime,” Rogan countered.
“Should you’re a one that’s born in Palestine, you’re f–ked. You’re under their control. It’s not your fault,” he added.
Kid Rock disagreed, pointing to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. “Boom. Just worn out,” he said of the atomic bombings, which maimed a whole lot of 1000’s of individuals.
“They [Israel] should just go in there and be like, you already know what? We would like our hostages back. If we don’t have them back, clock starts now. And f–king 24 hours, we’re going to start out bombing motherf–kers and killing f–king civilians, thirty-, forty-thousand a f–king time,” Kid Rock said in a rant earlier reported on by Mediaite.
“So that you civilians higher f–king pack up and f–king get these f–king motherf–kers. And also you go against Hamas. You f–king go against them. We’re not playing f–king games with you.”
“But you’re not alleged to pick civilian targets,” Rogan reiterated, though Kid Rock insisted: “You’ll be able to’t fight war like that.”
The 2 men ended the lengthy conversation — which included discussions on the potential for a nuclear war — by agreeing that Hamas hides behind civilian targets.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, shared over the weekend that he believes the war can end inside “weeks.”
Netanyahu told CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the Israel Defense Force will soon enter the Palestinian city of Rafah, home to greater than 1.4 million refugees, to eliminate a number of the last remaining Hamas units.
“We’ve already destroyed 18 of the 24 Hamas terrorist battalions, so we have now 4 of them [that] are concentrated in Rafah,” Netanyahu said. “We will’t leave the last Hamas stronghold without caring for it. Obviously, we have now to do it.

“It must be done. Because total victory is our goal, and total victory is within sight,” the prime minister added. “Not months away, weeks away, once we start the operation.”
Netanyahu revealed plans to maneuver forward with the incursion despite mounting pressure from the US and other global powers on Israel to carry off on entering Rafah until an entire scheme is in place to avoid more civilian casualties — provided that the southern city is now essentially the most densely populated enclave in Gaza.
Individually on Sunday, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “We don’t consider that an operation in Rafah should go forward unless there’s a transparent and executable plan for this and we haven’t seen a plan like that.”
The death toll in Gaza is sort of at 30,000, in response to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health, with the IDF estimating that it has killed about 12,000 terrorists.
