Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

Do you think that is good evidence?
Hasan is a twitch streamer, Israel and the IDF can stop the genocide any time because they are the ones doing it, all Hasan can do is make videos. Who really has the power here?
Edit One further point, your argument is that Hasan's perspective isn't helpful for a certain political outcome in a COUNTRY called ISRAEL. That is DIFFERENT than judaism. You are still conflating, even in your framing of this, the idea of judaism and Israel. It is not inherently antisemitic to believe in political tactics that you don't think will work for an outcome in a specific NATION, even if your argument was correct it fails at a basic level to identify something genuinely antisemitic in Hasan Piker because there isn't.
Welp, Hasan said things would be the same in Gaza under Harris or Trump. Trump won, the military is invading US cities and black bagging citizens, the stock market is higher than ever for the hyper capitalists and people can barely afford to survive. Bibis approval is higher than ever. https://www.jns.org/netanyahus-approval-ratings-at-all-time-high-poll/
I think you should consider if his rhetoric has actually helped or hurt the principles he claims to support. Hasan repeatedly said Kamala would be no better than Trump (on Gaza, which he painted as the only issue) and he directly moved the needle on low turnout from the left.
BTW, I am saying that the only power we have to remove Bibi is by appealing to opposition in his own country, that's why I am talking about rhetoric he is eschewing, in a clip where he is talking about all Israelis as IDF members, about Israel, not all Jews. Hasan has many viewpoints that alienate Jews and many that alienate Israelis, where those communities overlap and where they don't. Above is a clip where he alienates Israelis that would oppose Bibi, here is one where he is purity testing Jews worldwide: https://www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/1k8k8ul/hasan_says_anyone_expressing_any_bit_of_positive/
BTW, that clip is from the H3 subreddit, which is likely a kneejerk dismissal. You can like Hasan, I don't care. I like Ethan a lot. I also politically agree with Hasan a lot. Ethan is a chaos gremlin and I disagree with how much he accuses people of being pedophiles and uses certain terms, but I like his silly surrealist nonsense and his non-political stuff. People who like Hasan and his orbiters seem to be incapable, in my experience, with acknowledging criticism of them, which is dangerous, it's when discussion turns to dogma. The whole discussion here is that a lot of people, including both American and Israeli Jews, feel there is a rise in antisemitism and are being silenced, which is alienating allies, and if you can't acknowledge that, maybe consider if you are becoming mindlessly dogmatic.
