The New Yorker magazine is being ripped for inviting controversial lefty influencer Hasan Piker to headline an upcoming event — despite his vile history of calling Israel is “inbred” and that America “deserved 9/11.
” Piker, a popular left-wing Twitch streamer, is slated to participate in a New Yorker Festival roundtable event — titled the “New Political Arena” — next month. But news of the progressive darling’s appearance on the line up has sparked outrage — with many blasting the mag for giving a “pro-9/11 radical” a platform to potentially spew hate and peddle antisemitism.The 33-year-old New Jersey-born streamer has also downplayed the sexual assault of women on October 7, declaring it “doesn’t matter if rapes happened.” “The New Yorker’s decision to platform Hasan Piker is the latest example of mainstream media normalizing his brand of antisemitism and anti-Zionism. Piker’s toxic and extreme rhetoric opposing Zionism and the Jewish state normalizes antisemitism, reinforces bigotry, and launders terror – and it has no place at a conference devoted to prominent influencers,” the Anti-Defamation League said in a statement on X.Matriarch reprimanded over court outburst after she's convicted in murder-for-hire plot against ex-son-in-law Using this popular Powerball feature could hurt your odds of winning the $1.7 billion jackpot: top lotto expert In addition to saying America “deserved” the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, he’s repeated assertions that Israel is committing “genocide” in its war against Hamas. He was also temporarily booted from Twitch after he suggested that the killing of two Israeli Embassy diplomats in Washington, DC earlier this year looked like it could be a “false flag” operation. “Not only has Piker inexplicably compared the Houthis to Holocaust victim Anne Frank, he’s labeled Hezbollah as a ‘successful… resistance group,’ stated that “America deserved 9/11,’ and that ‘it doesn’t matter if rapes happened on October 7th’,” the League said.“These extreme statements, and others, should permanently disqualify him from appearing at any major media festival.”“As we approach the 24th anniversary of 9/11, a supposedly mainstream gathering of left-wing New Yorkers has invited a speaker who openly expressed his support of the attacks, in addition to calling for violence against Republican officials and numerous instances of overt antisemitism,” he said in a statement.Matriarch reprimanded over court outburst after she's convicted in murder-for-hire plot against ex-son-in-law Using this popular Powerball feature could hurt your odds of winning the $1.7 billion jackpot: top lotto expert Minneapolis school shooter's 'furry' girlfriend ID'd after killer described past relationship as 'root of my suffering'Rep.
