Hasan Piker has a massive platform - with over 11.3 million followers - and he's used it to normalize and amplify extremist rhetoric. The prominent Twitch streamer has explicitly expressed support for U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the PFLP. Piker recently said, "I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time" and he's called Hezbollah's flag his "favorite." On multiple occasions, he's used the dehumanizing terms "inbred" and "psychopath" to refer to Israeli and Orthodox Jews. He's also used rhetoric that trivializes the Holocaust, including by insinuating that Anne Frank would have supported the Houthis and equating Israel with Nazi Germany. Jews are not alone on the receiving end of Piker's vile rhetoric. On his livestreams, Piker has made misogynistic jokes about date rape and responded to Black critics with vulgar sexual insults. Piker amplifies this pattern of hate to millions of followers. His growing involvement in electoral politics and mainstream media spreads these toxic messages far beyond fringe spaces.
