Hasan Piker Delivers Ominous Warning To Pro-Israel Jews

Leftist streamer Hasan Piker is drawing renewed and growing backlash after comparing Israel to “Jewish ISIS” and threatening pro-Israel Jews to stop supporting the country before somebody “takes action” against them.

The incendiary comments came during a recent stream and coincide with his ongoing efforts to campaign for socialist candidates across the country and help tear down the Democratic establishment.

“People don’t f*ck with Israel any longer, and if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone’s going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews,” Piker said. “We’re teaching people the wrong lesson. I don’t know how people don’t recognize how dangerous this predicament is. How dangerous this is for Jews.” 

Piker invoked antisemitic tropes to expand on his assertion that Zionism itself is endangering the livelihoods of ordinary Jewish Americans, pointing to public opinion polls showing declining favorability toward the Israeli government.

“You’re running around basically tying your entire identity to a country that inevitably will be seen as basically Jewish ISIS, and you’re saying, as Jews, this is all we care about. You’re making antisemitism worse,” he said without evidence. 

Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers said Piker’s comments came after Michigan Democratic congressional candidate Jeremy Moss, who is Jewish, said he is unsure whether he can support Abdul El-Sayed over his foreign policy views. 

“More calls for violence coming out of the El-Sayed campaign,” Rogers argued on X. “Absolutely DISGUSTING. If Abdul El-Sayed had any courage at all, he would call this out and disavow Hasan Piker once and for all. We’re waiting, Abdul…” 

On Monday, El-Sayed addressed Piker’s controversial comments without naming the streamer directly.

“My commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment to the safety of my own daughters. Antisemitism is a scourge, and we need to address it in all its forms. And I stand against any rhetoric that puts the community at risk,” he said.

Then, he pivoted to his campaign’s economic message, arguing that voters don’t care that much about his ties to Piker. 

“While politicians and pundits try to make this race about a Twitch streamer, we’re going to be talking about gas, groceries, good schools, and healthcare. Because that’s what Michiganders keep asking about. It’s why I’m fighting to get money out of politics, money in your pocket, and Medicare for All.”

Other Democrats also pounced on Piker, including Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ). “The only one inciting violence against American Jews is Piker and his rhetoric,” he said. “For the future of our party, Democrats have to call out his hate and condemn these dangerous views. Anyone campaigning with him is part of the problem.” 

Piker, who believes America deserved the September 11 terrorist attacks, has emerged as one of the socialist movement’s most influential cheerleaders, using his enormous online following to rally support for DSA-aligned candidates. He campaigned with El-Sayed down the home stretch of the primary after making it his mission to oust as many establishment Democrats as possible. 

“Of course, of course, it was a dumb statement, and of course, I think Hasan himself would say that was a dumb statement. He disavowed it. So yes, America didn’t deserve 9/11,” El-Sayed has said, before qualifying his remarks to suggest that continued focus on Piker amounts to “cancel culture.”

“But, you know, to sit here and play gotcha politics with dumb things somebody said out of context that they disavowed themselves and say, ‘Oh, well, what does that mean about what you think?’ I want to be held accountable for what I say and what I do, rather than this idea that we’re so stuck in cancel culture that all of us agreed was a bad idea back in 2020, but we seem to want to bring back,” he added.

Over the weekend, a jeering crowd shouted Piker down and booed him after he attempted to walk back those 9/11 comments, knowing the backlash could prove damaging to El-Sayed’s campaign.

At the same venue, Piker mockingly sang “We are Charlie Kirk” to a crowd of cheering and laughing leftists, while a newly unearthed video shows him saying he wanted to “kill” the late Turning Point USA founder.
