    I thought Zionists wanted people to condemn hummus. Did I not hear them correctly?

      He could at least cover all of Frogan + co’s Twitch salaries for the month they are banned similar to a strike fund. (edit) It is his podcast cohost from leftovers who is running this smear campaign so he does have some responsibility here especially since he made money from leftovers working with Ethan.

        I’m (delusionally) hoping that he’s trying to catch KKKlein in something that is probably slanderous so he can sue him, but I’m not holding my breath. At least 3 of the people banned have a Patreon for their podcast. I’m gonna sub in the morning since I cancelled my Turbo subscription. I don’t know if Denims has like a Patreon or something.

          Well hopefully even if he doesn’t do anything, people get together support them while they are banned, it’s really just the Palestine version of the red scare, they are only being disciplined for being pro Palestinian, I don’t think the higher ups at twitch are dumb enough to think they are actually antisemitic or whatever they are being accused of.

      Two weeks out from the election it would be a terrible strategy to intentionally deplatform the largest leftist pipeline on the internet, especially considering the potential to radicalize scores of disillusioned liberals

      If would also give Ethan and destiny exactly what they want, which is to silence all pro-Palestinian voices

      Hasan’s strategy of largely ignoring Ethan and using the drama as launching pad to educate on the crimes of Israeli apartheid is driving Klein up the wall, the man is spiraling

      Replacing that with an online hunger strike just isn’t efficient or likely to be effective in any way

          Hasan won’t be getting 70k-200k views on election day streaming on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube

          Twitch is his platform, you can’t just transfer an entire audience to other platforms overnight, it takes years to build up, having the platform is simply more important than making a well-meaning moral gesture that’ll be forgotten in a month

      Obviously your post is in bad faith and honestly disgusting. You see a post where people are being silenced for supporting Palestine and you are trying to shift the blame to someone you don’t like a personal level. You saw pro-palestinian and pro-lebanese voices getting silenced, 2 of these people have family being bombed, and you try to make this into an opportunity to stir up drama. You are gross.

      All of the people who were banned are friends of Hasan and have direct communication with Hasan. None of the people who are banned would want Hasan to stop streaming. They like that he reports Israel’s crimes to thousands or millions of people. It is very likely that Hasan is talking to them right now to try to help them out and possibly also talking with twitch to try to get rid of the bans.

        Hasan is a huge fucking money maker for Twitch. Maybe their biggest. I’m not shifting blame to Hasan. These accusations are bullshit, and Hasan should go on strike and make it hurt for Twitch. No one else on the platform is running 30+ minutes of ads a day to 40K+ viewers and bringing in $35K+ a month in subs. If he didn’t have that sort of power and impact on their operations, then they would have banned him for 30 days, too. Do you think the ADL didn’t ask for it?

        EDIT: And he’s about to enter his biggest money making period for twitch with the electio

        EDIT: By the way, @[email protected], since I forgot initially, go fuck yourself for me “bad faith”. You care more about your slop watching Hasan than doing literally anything to actually stand up against Twitch and these fucking racist zionists. Calling me bad faith when when you are about to give Twitch $7.99 or watch their ads as a reward for banning Pro Palestine voices. Nothing is stopping Hasan from going to YouTube or Instagram or TikTok, plenty of other streamers already stream there.

          This isn’t how strikes work lol. One streamer withholding labor doesn’t have leverage in this way. Twitch would either ignore it or just punish him. All this would do is silence the biggest pro-Palestinian voice on Twitch.

            There’s about to be only one pro-Palestine streamer on twitch at this rate. How long will that last?

            Hasan isn’t some normal streamer. The revenue he brings in for that company probably covers a couple staff’s monthly salaries. He alone makes ~$250K/month, and because he hits the $100K threshold in a couple weeks, that means twitch is also making $250K/month off of him.

            I just cancelled my Turbo subscription over it and I selected other and told them that if they are going to treat Arabs and Muslims in a racist and unfair manner, then I don’t want to give Twitch my money. I’m not a streamer but that’s the most I can do right now. I’m leaning toward a 30 day boycott as well.

      It’s great to know that support for standing up Pro-Palestinian voices goes about as deep as the extent to which it doesn’t personally interfere with slop consumption. Hasan could stream on multiple other platforms, y’all just have prersonal loyalty to a company that banned Arab streamers over bullshit charges, instead.

        The term alludes to a tenacious, thorny desert plant, known in English as prickly pear, with a thick skin that conceals a sweet, softer interior. The cactus is compared to Israeli Jews, who are supposedly tough on the outside, but delicate and sweet on the inside.

        which ya know, additionally silly when you consider the plant is from the Americas, and was widely used in colonial states as a living fence

          “Sweet and delicate inside” is a hell of a way to describe “full of rancid shit and bloody entrails” tbh, they’re so full of themselves lol…

          What part is the “sweetness” again? It’s certainly not given to the indigenous Arabs- so who is it for? Non-Arabs, like the Asian laborers they prevent from fraternizing with locals or having sex whatsoever in the country (racist racial purity bullshit from the sounds of it)? To their fellow Jews, like the Ethiopian Jews they have forcefully sterilized, the Yemeni and other MENA Jews they discriminate against, or all those Jewish people who reject their settler-colonialism- or even those fellow Zionists who simply have concerns or get in the way (that Hannibal protocol lol)?

          What sweetness exactly are we talking about lol… they may as well have called the Nazis sweet, their attitude in some ways even is more repulsive than that.

    banned for a sanctioned event at Twitch’s own convention is a fucking insane thing to do to them. these myopic zionist pieces of shit aren’t content with violently starving Palestinians and Lebanese people in those countries, so apparently they have to try to starve the vocal ones that live in amerikkka too. interesting that they didn’t ban the actual Jewish person that was part of the same event, whose idea it was, seemingly. they also put one of the Arab people that got banned (denims) at the bottom of the “loves sabra” tier, how does that stack with “Sabra = Jew” calculus that the ADL is pushing?
