Khymani James livestreamed a school meeting in January that focused on his warnings to people who support a Jewish state in Israeli land. He claimed in the video that "Zionists don't deserve to live," explaining he felt "very comfortable calling for those people to die." “A lot of people agree that Hitler needed to die in order for world order to move forward and in order to establish some inkling of world peace,” he said.
