@FreeBeacon You mean it took readers comments for @politico to backtrack? Like the editors don’t have the professional & business ethics necessary to run a news outlet? To be continued.

NEW: Politico removed a cartoon featuring anti-Semitic imagery in an attempt to criticize the war in Iran following a Free Beacon report. The image depicts President Donald Trump, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Republican members of Congress wearing blood-covered Jewish prayer shawls and yarmulkes.
"We removed a cartoon by independent cartoonist Sean Delonas from this week’s gallery after weighing comments from readers that it did not meet our standards," Politico wrote in an editor's note. "Sharp arguments and provocative imagery in political cartoons are within bounds. Images that could be reasonably interpreted to rely on ethnic stereotypes or employing tropes that have been involved in historically hateful ways are not."

Yes, sometimes when an Islamist from Dearborn Heights, via Lebanon, comes into your community armed and ready to blow up 140 children in a synagogue preschool—and then leftists rush to justify it because his brother, a commander in the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, died in a conflict halfway across the world—that sticks with people.
So yeah, they tend to get a little annoyed when, days later, a Senate candidate is campaigning with an antisemite who’s said things like “America deserved 9/11,” Jews are “inbred,” “it doesn’t matter if rapes happened on October 7th,” supporters of Israel’s existence are comparable to “rabid neo-Nazis,” and that he doesn’t “have an issue with” Hezbollah.

Ok after some reflection and talking to people (including locals) that are smarter than me, points 3 and 4 seem way too cynical/galaxy brained. There are local factors at play, and it’s probably not some strategic 4D chess to triangulate a middle path to the nomination between El-Sayed and Stevens. I had completely forgotten that the West Bloomfield Temple Israel attack — where 140 preschoolers could have been blown up — was two weeks ago. And that for many for whom that is still raw — even in a mostly very progressive Jewish community like that — Piker’s presence nearby (both are within about an hour drive) would be raising the temperature, not lowering it. I think the difference in encouraging people to go on a guest on Rogan/Piker type streams — who have said controversial things in the past — and actively campaigning with them is an important distinction. Some may infer the latter as an endorsement of their views. Which, no matter what you think of Hasan, you have to admit that some of what he has said could be hurtful to some Jews at a time when many are already deeply concerned for the safety of them and their children. For those who think McMorrow is bought and paid for by AIPAC, I would like to remind them that they are expressly backing Stevens in this race, and that McMorrow has stressed that she has not and will not take money from AIPAC. Anyway, I’m willing to bet it’s not a strategic move, it’s a line in the sand for her. If you disagree with what she said, that’s fine. Your voice will be louder than those that appreciate what’s she’s doing because that’s what algorithms do — promote conflict. Important to remember that Twitter is not real life. I like Abdul, and totally get why people are voting for him. But let’s not jump to the worst conclusions about other candidates just because tensions are high.

There’s a reason NYT & leftist media has reported on the foiled assassination attempt of Nerdeen Kiswani (and let me state that there is absolutely no excuse for political violence in this country)
but refuse to report on the Islamic regime’s assassination attempts/bounties against known Iranian dissidents like myself on US soil, @gghamari in Canada, and many Iranian activists, as well as on American Jews.
Because if it can’t be blamed on Jews, it’s not news.
For western media, the Islamic regime has become their ally in the war on the west.
Being honest about the regime’s assassination attempts on U.S. soil indicts their ally, which can’t happen. They have to remain pure. Reactive savages only.
That is the story. It’s never about truth. It’s the story.
Conversely, everything that involves Israel or the U.S.—which confirms their story—is front page news.
Overtime, this leads to a skewed and misrepresented news cycle.
This is exactly what the media wants. For people to eventually conclude: the regime are the good guys, Israel and the U.S. are the bad guys.
Without balance—through constant omissions—that is the only conclusion a reader could logically draw.
That’s why they will never report on the genuine threat this regime poses. So that over time, through enough whitewashing and concealment, you never consider them a threat at all.

Your dishonesty has truly crossed the threshold into immorality.
First, there is absolutely no excuse for political violence, ever. I despise Nerdeen, but the plot to assassinate her on US soil is despicable. We are a society of law and order, and we aren’t turning this country into the Islamic republic.
Second, your confident naming of the Jewish group as well as their “known violent extremist organization”—which you made sure to quote and name—is slap in the face to how many Islamist terror plots take place near DAILY and you REFUSE to ever identify the aggressors as Islamists, let alone the ideology as “known to be dangerous,” which it very much is.
While this incident is atrocious, it is not the norm and never has been. It’s very clear you want to exaggerate the danger of one community and downplay the danger of the other, when it is well understood that jihadist/islamist groups are the real and persistent danger.
Please don’t fucking lie, Zohran.
Finally, you’ve made no mention about the Islamic regime targeting Iranian dissidents and human rights activists like myself, as well as Jews, which the FBI has actively foiled assassination attempts.
This is a form of transnational repression and is a serious and grave threat.
Instead, you steer the conversation to the targeting of Palestinian human rights activists. No mentioned of the Iranians and Jews who the FBI has repeatedly foiled assassination plots against? Including in NY?
No. Because that breaks narrative.
Again, there is absolutely no excuse for political violence, and thank god this plot was foiled—that’s not the American any of us should concede to living in.
But my god. You may be one of the most unethical and dishonest politicians in recent memory. There is no way you don’t know what you’re doing.

🚨 USPS says Gabriel Stan is STILL employed.
And locals on his mail route say his violent outburst was no surprise at all.
Short fuse.
Snapping.
Screaming.
Losing it on residents over nothing.
And the whole country saw exactly where that rage ended up:
On a defenseless 4-year-old Jewish boy.
USPS’s response to a request for comment:
“We don’t discuss personnel matters.”
SERIOUSLY?
No outrage.
No accountability.
Still on the payroll.
Disgusting.
Insane.
Unacceptable.
Fire this animal immediately, @USPS.
The entire country is watching.

We may now know why Ramapo PD delayed releasing his name while the video exploded. Meet Gabriel Stan. 39. Stony Point, NY. The USPS mail carrier who violently attacked a 4-year-old Jewish boy in Monsey. His public LinkedIn reveals deep Romanian roots: - Developer at European Children's University Network (Bucharest, Romania) — 14+ years ongoing. - Junior Web Developer at University of Bucharest (2010-2011). - Microsoft Intern (SQL Support) in Bucharest (2010). Was the name held back over immigration/citizenship questions? Taxpayer-funded USPS job handed to someone with this foreign-heavy background... then he puts hands on a little American Jewish toddler. He was arrested for felony attempted assault (victim under 7). Released on his own recognizance. ZERO nights in jail. Disgraceful. @ICEgov Look into his status now.

@donie @yashar @hasanthehun This interview is substandard journalism. Piker is controlling the narrative like he’s a sleazy politician articulating a stump speech. That didn’t happen if you did your part to not let that happen with the right questions not letting him control you and the narrative.

@donie @hasanthehun Anti-Zionism is not “criticism of Israel” it’s the belief that no Jewish state in any capacity has a right to exist. It’s a call for the genocide of 7M Jews in Israel.

@donie @yashar @hasanthehun So you just declined to push him on his opinions and views? And declined to ask him to define Zionism? I guess he’s okay with the 23 Muslim ethnostates in the world? Do better, Donie. If you’re going to interview him, do it for real

@mazemoore TV journalists love to interview politicians. I saw @IAmAmnaNawaz interview on @NewsHour. The anchor had the body language of a gushing in political love partisan, so obviously she never showed @NYCMayor this video for his response.

Antizionism isn’t a sophisticated critique of policy. It is the only “political idea” in the world whose practical demand is that one – and only one – people should not have a nation-state.
You can call yourself anti-capitalist without wanting to dismantle France. You can criticise British or American policy without arguing the UK or US must cease to exist. But “antizionism” insists that Jewish collective self‑determination, alone, is illegitimate – in a century shaped by Jewish statelessness, persecution, and genocide.
That is not “anti‑racism”. It is the recycling of a very old story: Jews may live anywhere, so long as it is at the sufferance of others, with no sovereign protection of their own.

In June 2024, supporters of Nerdeen Kiswani jostled me, stopped on my notebook, called me scum, and caused me to lose hearing in one of my ears for a few days.
I filed a police report.
The possibility of political violence against her—or anyone—is indefensible.

@krystalball Thread: wait for the midterm results especially from swing districts and purple states. The far left bullies Dems to believe they have the political destiny and they should join the winning team. It’s their go-to sinister snake oil messaging. Don’t fall for it.

@mehdirhasan I was going to respond but decided to read the thread comments. ( Many more will come since your post is recent.) Most of the posts were antisemitic. You attract antisemites. Lots of them. Lots of them are Muslim, too. But not all of them. You’ve influenced many others.

Democratic senators Cory Booker, Ruben Gallego and Elissa Slotkin all told Politico they wouldn’t go on Hasan Piker’s show.
But they have all been on Bill Maher’s show, who says Islam is like “the mafia”, the Muslim world has “too much in common” with ISIS, Muslims bring “desert stuff” to the west, and has also used the N word on his show.
Why the double standard? Slotkin was on Maher’s show *yesterday*

@PollTracker2024 The normalization of antisemitism has an unfair advantage with the Muslim bloc of voters in Michigan. Piker is a partisan social media influencer. Would @AOC campaign with him for a Senate seat? My inclination is no. Will @katiekings make him @nytimes opinion writer? I doubt it.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed defends campaign event with Hasan Piker after criticism from his opponents:
El-Sayed: “We’re talking about somebody whose job it is to talk to groups of people that you’d think people running for public office would want to be talking to.”
EL-Sayed also pointed out Hasan Pikar was invited to stream live at the DNC in 2024 and said Democrats must meet disengaged voters to focus on issues such as the cost of living and healthcare.

6 possible Jews! Possible because lying is foundational to this movement. It’s been documented that these fringe Jewish far left movement groups pad the numbers with non-Jews.
Cori Bush@CoriBush
I’m so excited to have #JewsforCori by my side once again for 2026. Jews for Cori did incredible work last election, knocking doors across St. Louis to talk to voters about the issues that matter. This year, we’re doing the same, but getting started even earlier, to build our grassroots movement to win.

@MattBruenig I assume this is a little X snark. If he has importance it’s representative of the far left movement that’s trying to gain control of the party. They have made inroads into a vanishing sensible left. Additionally, he’s a hero to extreme Israel hatred which is a cover f/Jew hatred

Hearing a lot more about Hasan Piker than ever before. Seems he's a big player in the Democratic Party?
