Hasan Piker has consistently defended and provided cover for terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Following the October 7, 2023 massacre, where over 1,163 people were brutally murdered, including children, women, and the elderly, Piker refused to acknowledge the severity of Hamas’ crimes. Instead, he portrayed the terrorists as “resistance fighters”, downplayed their atrocities, and mocked the victims. He has also denied verified reports of mass rape committed by Hamas, dismissing them as “Israeli propaganda” despite overwhelming evidence.
Beyond Hamas, Piker has praised Hezbollah, calling its leader Hassan Nasrallah a “brilliant person,” despite the group’s long history of war crimes, suicide bombings, and genocidal rhetoric. He has also glorified the Houthis, a terrorist faction responsible for murdering civilians, blocking food supplies, and chanting “Death to America, Death to Israel.” Piker even compared them to anime characters while they hijacked civilian ships and took hostages. Instead of condemning these groups, he actively spreads their propaganda to his massive audience, brainwashing young viewers into supporting extremism.
Piker’s radicalization tactics are evident in his constant efforts to normalize terrorist violence under the guise of “leftist commentary.” His rhetoric openly justifies the killing of civilians, and his community is filled with anti-Semitic hate speech that he refuses to moderate. He has knowingly lied to his audience, portraying terrorists as noble freedom fighters while labeling anyone who opposes them as “genocide supporters.” His influence is not just ideological but actively fuels extremism by manipulating impressionable followers.
Ultimately, Hasan Piker is not just a political commentator—he is a terrorist sympathizer who has made it his mission to whitewash organizations responsible for mass murder, rape, and war crimes. Twitch and other platforms have continued to enable his propaganda, despite clear violations of their terms of service. By allowing him to spread dangerous extremist narratives, they are complicit in the mainstreaming of pro-terrorist ideology that threatens democratic values and global security.
