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

That event, in summary:

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 47 points 4 hours ago

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?

i enjoyed the double entendre of "likes Sabra", as both criticizing people who like the shitty hummus and also the massacre it's named after.

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 provably 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.

[-] Piment@hexbear.net 3 points 26 minutes ago

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.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 33 points 3 hours ago

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

[-] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 8 points 1 hour ago

lol Hasan with Hezbollah strategy of not responding to provocations and keeping cool at all times.

[-] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 8 points 1 hour ago

Two weeks out from the election

I'm starting to realize how much money and viewership Frogan, Vio, Denims, and Capri are about to lose out on from their month-long bans

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 6 points 2 hours ago

I never said anything about Hasan going dark. I said not streaming on Twitch. He can stream in TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago

nah, he should simply stream Bisan's documentary and any other available Gazan-filmed footage 24/7 without physically being online or saying a word

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 6 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 7 points 1 hour ago

Why exactly is covering electoralism more important than solidarity with pro-Palestinian voices being silenced by Twitch over racist lies?

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 4 points 48 minutes ago

Because educating and agitproping a shit ton of disillusioned liberals on Palestine who are tuning in for the election is more important than online brownie points

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 4 points 39 minutes ago

Who is going to educate anyone when everyone pro-Palestinian is banned?

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 2 points 16 minutes ago

Well Hasan isn't banned, which is WHY he shouldn't ban himself

[-] somename@hexbear.net 7 points 1 hour ago

You're just projecting that these people, who he actually knows and talks to, want him to go offline, and that he's refusing them.

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Listen, just say you want your slop. I'm sure they want to be unbanned, too. Should anyone try to do anything about that, or should we just do whatever allows you to tune into Hasan on Twitch still?

[-] somename@hexbear.net 6 points 1 hour ago

I think you're naive if you think Hasan not broadcasting would commute their ban in any way.

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 4 points 1 hour ago

Just say you care more about your slop. Is that so hard?

[-] dead@hexbear.net 34 points 4 hours ago

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.
