Hasan Piker responds to critics claims Cuba paid him to cover the US oil blockade starving the country
"This is why it's kind of funny when people are like, 'I bet you're getting paid by the Cuban government.'
Bro, they don't have money! With what money?
People are so used to only advancing causes for monetary reasons, they can't possibly fathom the idea that someone would want to genuinely help the Cuban population, genuinely demand we stop killing Cubans with our economic terrorism."
We know, we remember how lDF unleashed a combat dog on a Young Palestinian man with Down syndrome. Mohammad was deliberately killed. We’ll never forget what you did to Mohammad Bhar.
To be clear: they’re not protesting against the sexual torture of Palestinians by Israeli authorities. They’re protesting against the NYT for reporting it.
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Hannah Einbinder is not concerned about being blacklisted by Hollywood when it comes to supporting Palestine. She champions Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon and other actors speaking out:
"I think what they know is what I know, which is that the cost of not speaking is higher, you know? There is a greater toll in not speaking and you just gotta have your priorities straight. I am under no impression that my one small career could ever measure up in comparison to even one human life.

Hannah Einbinder on her commitment to speaking out in support of Palestine:
"I follow in the steps of Palestinians who have set the bar, who have always had to be their own advocates. I am really pleased to join a tradition of Palestinians and Jewish allies who are committed to being vocal in a time where a lot of people shy away from that. I follow their lead."

Hannah Einbinder says Hollywood not speaking out in support of Palestine "pisses me off" and they "need these issues to affect a white person for them" to care.
“I look at these people who have absolutely every privilege imaginable to mankind and they cannot utter a single word. I really can’t understand it... People in Hollywood, unfortunately, need these issues to affect a white person for them to see it as relating to them,” she noted. “Like, they see Jimmy Kimmel getting taken off the air suddenly, they see Stephen Colbert’s show being canceled by CBS, which is owned by the Ellisons, and they go, ‘How could this possibly happen?’ And it’s like, we know how because we saw students and professors and journalists and authors and Palestinian folks be silenced and fired and expelled and imprisoned… it took it happening to these white men for people to be like, ‘Oh my god.’”
