@0dCaiman @goyatollah @souljagoyteller So you're incorrect and also don't have any juice suggesting he's a 'big fan' of the PRC

[Doc Platar @DocPlt97]

@0dCaiman @goyatollah @souljagoyteller Go make fun of Mao in China.

Also obviously from context he meant great as significant as he states also "the PRC wouldn't exist without Mao." Definition 3 here. https://t.co/cubXiKT1cs

@0dCaiman @goyatollah @souljagoyteller That clip doesn't have him defending any of the above dummy.

The 11 pro-Israel Democrats attacking Hasan Piker have benefitted from a combined $14.3 million+ in spending by AIPAC and the Israel lobby.

@RepJoshG You are a fascist collaborator and a liar.

If we don’t live in a system that will protect children from an international network of powerful pedophiles (yes, there is evidence of Canadian connections), then its time for everyone, everywhere, of every political stripe, to fight for a new system. This ain’t it.

Here is Ezra Klein saying almost the exact same thing Hasan Piker is being denounced for btw

[Madeline Summerville @MaddiesHotTake]

I am F*CKING FURIOUS about this.

Honestly, my heart is racing.

I was WATCHING THE STREAM when Hasan said this, and it was ABUNDANTLY clear that he was saying -- The more people continue to conflate criticism of Israel with criticism of Jewish people, the more dangerous it will become for Jewish people in America.

And he's 100% CORRECT! Wanna know how I know?

Because I was in the GA legislature when they added the IHRA definition of anti-semitism to the law for prosecutions of hate crimes.

My former law professor, who is also a Rabbi, wrote the law.

The PRIMARY EXAMPLE he gave as to why this was necessary was because he personally knew of a young man who wears a yarmulke at a local university who got jumped by some kids who said they wanted to punish him because he was a zionist and supported what Israel was doing in Gaza. The kids admitted they did not know their victim, nor did they know his position on Israel. All they saw was that he was wearing a yarmulke, so they assumed he supported Israel's military action.

They attacked an innocent person SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE he was self-identified as Jewish, and angry, violent people immediately conflated his religion with his support for Israel.

Take it from someone who deals with these issues (The last case I handled before I stopped practicing law was one for a kid who was getting threatened at his high school for being Jewish) - -

It is PRECISELY the conflation of being Jewish with being a Zionist that is encouraging this kind of violence to occur. I literally saw it for myself.

I cant stand - CANNOT STAND - that what @hasanthehun said is being framed the way it is.

Hasan - I'm gonna try to talk about this as much as I can...

The Hasan Piker of the right

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

⭕️ Joe Scarborough used the eve of Wisconsin’s Democratic primary to deliver a fact-free, 10-minute smear of Hasan Piker, Francesca Hong, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and the DSA, built on butchered quotes, shameless distortions, and Hamas rape allegations no major human rights organization has been able to verify.

Here is everything he got wrong.

1. “Pro-Hamas rallies the day after 10/7”

Scarborough, referring to Democratic candidate for NY-13 Darializa Avila Chevalier and DSA co-char Megan Romer, said people supported going “to pro-Hamas rallies the day after Hamas slaughtered more Jews than on any day since the Holocaust.”

The framing is entirely his own. The demonstrations he’s pointing to were Palestinian solidarity gatherings that Avila Chevalier said she attended because she expected Israel to attack Gaza indiscriminately and disproportionately.

By October 8, 2023 — “the day after” — Israel’s military said it had already bombed some 800 sites in Gaza, a geographic area smaller than New York City, with the IDF military spokesman calling entire cities “nests of terror.”

By late Sunday, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 413 Palestinians killed and more than 2,300 wounded.

People marching on October 8 were reacting, in real time, to bombs already falling on one of the most densely populated places on earth. But Scarborough presents them as celebrating a massacre.

2. The 10/7 rape claims & the blood-soaked history

Scarborough leans hardest on sexual violence, chastising the left for ignoring “women getting raped” on October 7, and to describe those questioning atrocity claims as beyond the pale.

The accusation of rape has been used for centuries to dehumanize people of color and justify their mass killing. Enslaved and later free Black men were lynched by the thousands on the strength of unproven rape allegations.

Evidence-free claims of rape and mass rape were broadcast by Scarborough and MSNOW as settled fact immediately after 10/7, and it helped justify a campaign that has now killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded nearly 175,000, including over 21,000 children. Together that is more than one in ten people in Gaza killed, wounded, or permanently maimed.

The “Black brute” myth, the pretext for Rosewood and countless other massacres, the Emmett Till lie: unverified sexual-violence claims work because they short-circuit scrutiny. To ask for evidence is made to appear as one is defending the crime. That is exactly the function these claims served after October 7 when they were deployed in the war’s opening weeks to pre-justify Israel’s genocidal response.

Scarborough and MSNOW have not yet told their audience that no major human rights body has confirmed a single instance of rape on October 7.

Not the Independent International Commission of Inquiry, the UN’s highest-standing investigative mechanism on the conflict. Not Amnesty International. Not Human Rights Watch. None has confirmed it.

The one UN document routinely cited as “proof” — the March 2024 mission led by Pramila Patten — was, by her own explicit acknowledgement, “neither intended nor mandated to be investigative in nature.”

The UN’s own special representative on sexual violence in conflict has since acknowledged publicly that no human rights organization has confirmed rape occurred that day.

3. What Hasan Piker actually said.

Scarborough’s most incendiary charge was that someone said “a woman being raped doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things” — clearly aimed at Piker, whose “it doesn’t matter if rapes happened on October 7th” clip has become the single most-circulated attack line against him, cited by Ritchie Torres, the ADL, and Dana Bash on CNN.

The 17-second clip is severed from all context. In the full segment, Piker was arguing against a viewer who was pushing the hypothesis that Israeli former captives describing sexual assault had been coerced by their government into lying.

Hasan Piker talks to Abdul El-Sayed about James Carville threatening to leave the Democratic Party

"This state is a swing state because of the machinations of the Clinton-era of politics. NAFTA."

El-Sayed: "Why does anyone still listen to James Carville? He said one smart thing once, which he seems to have forgotten. 'It's the economy, stupid.'

You wonder why people are pissed off, both parties take money from all the same people, to do all the same errands when they get elected. Then no one can afford shit and we wonder why everyone's mad.

Hey, maybe if we didn't take money from the corporations we could actually show up for the people and solve some of these problems. It's the economy, stupid."

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe Democrats were capable of stealing the 2020 election while out of power, but somehow incapable of doing the same in 2024 while in power. That is a categorically, phenomenally dumb thing to believe.
