Happy Birthday to my favorite himbo news man! From the breakdown on TYT all the way to daily streams on Twitch, you have taught me so much & helped me stay hopeful enough to keep up the good fight. Thanks for everything, @hasanthehun! #hastwt#hastwtselfieday
Hasan Piker on the parallels between Kuma from One Piece and his own real life:
"I am the sin-eater. That's what Kuma is. Not only am I the sin-eater, but I am lied about by the celestial dragons; the Epstein class of the world government. I am lied about as though I'm the most vicious tyrant of all time."
Gizmomacks was one of the most incredible people I've ever had the chance to communicate with. She was there for everyone when they needed support and she is gone too soon. I miss her dearly. The entire community misses her dearly. It would mean the world if you guys could donate to her gofundme, created by her friends and family, to help cover outstanding medical costs and base funeral costs. I cannot believe I'm even writing this tweet. This feels so surreal. Thank you all so much and a major thank you to @hasanthehun for being the reason why so many of us got to meet Gizmo in the first place. She truly was the best of us. 🤍 https://t.co/vd0fD9psq1
@AbdulElSayed Which is exactly why you should’ve never capitulated to this garbage bad-faith right wing framing of Hasan’s ACTUAL words & intentions in the first place. They’re never gonna stop attacking you. Keep THIS type of energy in your responses instead. Stay on target. 🫡
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...
