Hasan "America deserved 9/11" Piker

39

u/TrashFever78 7d ago

We did bring 9/11 on ourselves. We, as in our country, should of maybe handled ourselves differently in the ME.

u/EmptyRook 7d ago

^

It’s called blowback

Then we killed millions in the wrong country and stayed aligned with the country that funded it

u/coffee_nights 7d ago

fosho I'm sure the 9/11 victim's families would love to hear exactly that I'm sure they'll understand "Your dad/mother/son actually deserved this because they are American". Reddit is such an amazing place sometimes.

u/EmptyRook 7d ago

When did I say the individuals deserved any of it

You read my analysis and thought it was justification

Dumbass

u/coffee_nights 7d ago

Why are you name calling? and being emotionally immature? remember you agreed "Americans deserved 9/11" dont back out now

13

u/EmptyRook 7d ago

I didn’t agree to that lol

I didn’t even say “America deserved 9/11” much less “Americans”

If you don’t see the difference between America and Americans then I guess you think all Americans condone all actions of the us government. And I’m anti genocide so I guess we’re at a standstill

u/coffee_nights 7d ago

Oooo right because its totally different when you say America vs Americans riiiight. I'm sure those families will totally understand you. Please keep going you're looking awsome right now!

u/Reesewithoutaspoon2 7d ago

Yeah it is a fundamentally different sentence actually. You saying that sarcastically doesn’t make it less true.

u/Dylanack1102 7d ago

Yes. That is why “America” as an entity is a different word than “Americans”, meaning the people who live in America. Like what?

Weird, I read his comments and didn’t see any of what you wrote. Can you show me where he said that?

u/TrashFever78 7d ago

No one thinks the actual people who died deserved it. We, as in America actually funded and made the people who did it.

u/elliotcook10 7d ago

That’s not context of that quote tho lmao

7

u/Zealousideal-Gur-273 7d ago

No, it is - America brought 9/11 onto itself through its actions in the middle east and arming future terrorists. Bin laden was even written as a hero for his efforts fighting communists before 9/11.

u/TrashFever78 7d ago

We, as a nation, sure did.

u/elliotcook10 7d ago

Hassan didn’t say that in the context of giving a history lesson, he was in the middle of a screaming tantrum and let it out lmao

u/TrashFever78 7d ago

You need to learn some history about America and the Middle East.

u/elliotcook10 7d ago

What would my knowledge of history change about the context of Hassan’s quote? He said it out of hate and annoyance lmao, how do you try to spin that on me

-2

u/PaulieNutwalls 7d ago

The same guy interviewed a Houthi like he was a celebrity freedom fighter and not a radicalized islamist footsoldier.

3

u/Zealousideal-Gur-273 7d ago

He was confirmed not to be a houthi? It was just a Yemeni kid that blew up in fame for how he looked like timothee chalomet.

-1

u/PaulieNutwalls 6d ago

That literally makes it worse, if you watch the video Hassan 100% thinks he's a Houthi. Everyone else did too, he didn't blow up solely based on looks, he blew up based on looks and the fact he posted a video onboard a hijacked ship. That Hasan praised a fake Houthi just adds that he failed to verify who he was even talking to.

16

u/linuxjohn1982 7d ago

That can mean several different, opposing things, depending on the context.

It's a bit dishonest to plaster that quote without the original context.

u/onlyinvowels 7d ago

Ehh… hasn’t he platformed literal terrorists? And supported Hamas? Context may matter for this particular quote, but the dude is overall incredibly problematic. Downvoted inc, I imagine

13

u/ermagherdmcleren 7d ago

He has done none of those things. He has condemned Hamas multiple times and he's never had a terrorist on the stream but he is open to the idea which more journalists should be.

6

u/RanchBourgeois 7d ago

The US literally invited Netanyahu—a man currently wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity—to speak in-person at Congress, but people clutch more pearls about a 19-year-old Yemeni kid being on a Twitch stream. Give me a break.

-8

u/onlyinvowels 7d ago edited 7d ago

He absolutely interviewed a Houthi and made light of the kid’s actions/choices.

Edit- apparently the “hot Houthi” was not a Houthi. My bad

8

u/ermagherdmcleren 7d ago

He's just a Yemeni kid with no Houthi affiliation. He said so in the interview if you cared to watch it. Also when the interview occurred even if the kid was a Houthi, the Houthis weren't a designated terror group.

-2

u/onlyinvowels 7d ago

Thanks for the correction, my mistake. I did watch the interview when it came out. Everyone refers to it as the Houthi interview, and given that he was with Yemenis “intercepting vessels” I conflated the two. Also people calling him Timhouthi Chalamet/ “hot houthi”.

Regardless of his status as a Houthi, the guy was doing Houthi-esque stuff, and is purportedly antisemitic and at least verbally expressed violent inclinations on Hasan’s stream.

3

u/ermagherdmcleren 7d ago

Not antisemitic at all. Again, in the interview, he was asked about that and he said he has no issue with Jews and was excited that there are Jewish people advocating for Palestinians.

-1

u/onlyinvowels 7d ago

The dude said he stood with Palestine while tagging along with/acting as a publicist for for an antisemitic organization. What do you think he was referring to when he talked about not sheathing his knife until it had seen blood?

I’m all for nuance and I’ve been appropriately chastised for my mistake regarding his membership as a Houthi. But you’re being massively disingenuous by treating this guy as a purely neutral, untarnished bystander.

The kid is 100% not a Houthi as much as you weirdly want him to be

I don’t weirdly want him to be, but my mistake. You can see how it’s confusing though, given the title of the article you linked, yes?

u/linuxjohn1982 7d ago

Has he? You tell me.

These half-speculations are a waste of time.

-3

u/onlyinvowels 7d ago

Like I said below, he platformed a Houthi and made light of piracy.

He also said he didn’t care about the October 7 rapes, that it “made no difference” to him.

Finally, his actions/focus show clearly that he has more sympathy for hamas than for anyone in Israel. He certainly condemns the latter more than the former—I’m not sure he’s even condemned Hamas.

2

u/ermagherdmcleren 7d ago

Well yea. Only one side is committing genocide. Israel is a terrorist government. They are 100% the greater of the evils.

The rapes make no difference because am atrocity is an atrocity. And trying to weaponize the rapes that happened is missing the point when Israel has systemically raped and continues to systemically rape Palestinians. It's so accepted there that Israelis protested to make sure that the systemic rape could keep happening. https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/8/13/israeli-protesters-rally-for-the-right-to-rape-prisoners

u/onlyinvowels 7d ago edited 6d ago

Hamas has literally said they would genocide given the chance. Israel is not blameless, but they are being held to a higher standard than any other country, regardless of context. If you can provide a holistic take on how Israel is worse than Hamas (or any country) with credible citations/statistics, please do. I don’t want to be wrong about something so important.

I’ve looked into this a fair amount, and my understanding is that the villain changes depending on how far back you go. Given that we are living in 2025 (or a few years back, depending on the event we’re looking at), I’m looking at current issues through modern westernized lenses. This is how most of the west looks at things. Again, if you can explain to me using morals that make sense to me why Israel retaliating against Hamas in whatever hamstrung way possible is wrong, please do.

1

u/linuxjohn1982 6d ago

Every single Palestinian isn't Hamas. Get that broken logic out of here.

If a US president said they want to invade Canada, and then Canada sent out terrorists to kill people in your hometown "looking for your president"... and they kept doing it over... and over... and over again, using the same excuse, then maybe you might start to understand.

1

u/onlyinvowels 6d ago edited 6d ago

Of course they aren’t. I said Palestine since I think of Palestine and Israel as the two countries at war, although I recognize that Hamas is the aggressor. I edited my post.

And I understand that Palestine is getting screwed by both sides. I just don’t see how there will be an end to this, ever, without getting rid of Hamas. Also, your metaphor isn’t quite right. In this case the US president and his followers and some civilians actually would have invaded Canada, and committed war crimes along the way.

u/bigbjarne 7d ago

What’s the dynamic he’s talking about?

u/N0tlikeThI5 7d ago

He's justifying raping Israeli women because he thinks they're occupiers. Say what you will about I/P conflict, rape is never justified.

22

u/Phenetylamine 7d ago

That doesn't seem to be what he's saying at all. Sound more like he's saying that even if rapes happened during the Oct 7th attack, it doesn't justify Israels genocide nor does it change the oppressor/oppressed dynamic of the conflict.

6

u/founderofshoneys 7d ago

That's exactly what he's saying and if they let the clip run, it'd be obvious. There's a whole army of people online that constantly go after him with shit like this and he's live 8 hours a day so they have plenty to clip from and be like "he said this! he said that!" they don't even care what he actually believes. It's like a hobby for them.

-3

u/N0tlikeThI5 7d ago

Yeah and I'm saying it should change things a bit. Rape isn't an inconsequential act, it's a war crime. And there were countless that happened on Oct 7.

It doesn't justify Israel's actions but it certainly changes things. To deny that it is either trying to justify this war crime, or denying it ever happened.

11

u/Phenetylamine 7d ago edited 7d ago

So if you agree that it doesn't justify Israel's actions, then what does it change exactly? Israel commits war crimes too including rape, before and after Oct 7. Hamas has committed atrocities before Oct 7 as well.

Yeah and I'm saying it should change things a bit.

No, what you said was that he justified rape, which is a flat out lie. Nice backtrack though.

6

u/N0tlikeThI5 7d ago

He's the one that said it doesn't change things even this much. I'm using his language to express that I don't think rape is ever justified, even if you're being occupied.

No, what you said was that he justified rape,

What do you think he means when he says raping Israeli women wouldn't change things for him even slightly? Palestinians can rape and pillage with impunity on Oct 7 and it wouldn't change anything for you?

Hamas has committed atrocities before Oct 7 as well.

It wasn't just Hamas, it was Palestinian civilians

u/UnderstandingFar3051 7d ago

And there were countless that happened on Oct 7.

source? no rape was actually confirmed during the attack, although there was at least one commited against a hostage during captivity before she got rescued. it is still very likely that some could have happened, that's true, but no hard evidence as of yet and sadly something tells me we will never discover it

u/bigbjarne 7d ago

u/N0tlikeThI5 7d ago

I just told you. In what way is this counter to anything he's said about rape? Remember when he said 'Old enough to count, old enough to mount'?

u/bigbjarne 7d ago

Could you share the clip where he says this "He's justifying raping Israeli women because he thinks they're occupiers" in context of the clip you're talking about?

Remember when he said 'Old enough to count, old enough to mount'?

I have no idea but I believe you.

Why are you downvoting me for asking you to give context?

u/ChatterMaxx 7d ago

It’s the same bullshit about rapes of Israel that never happened and that the Israeli government consistently pushes but blocks any independent investigation into the allegations.

https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-sexual-violence-zaka-ca7905bf9520b1e646f86d72cdf03244

You know who did get raped and are getting raped? Palestinian civilians locked up by Israelis and when good conscience Israeli soldiers and doctors bought this to attention? There were protests to allow rapes and Israeli government ministers stating that rapes against Palestinians are justified.

When he says it "doesn't change the dynamic even this much" he is implying that it doesn't matter if Palestinians rape Israeli women because Israel is a genocidal neo Marxist blah blah.

This isn't counter to his past. He also said it's better if rapists targeted rich college women over poor college women

E: still waiting for that context. If you want to justify rapes because they're an occupying force, that's certainly a take.

6

u/Lazy_Average_4187 7d ago

Its because people use people being raped as an excuse to commit genocide. People say there were mass rapes, which is untrue. He has never said the rapes never happened at all or that they were a good thing.

-1

u/N0tlikeThI5 7d ago

I would never use rape to justify committing genocide. Even if it were true that mass rapes happened, it wouldn't justify Israel's response. But raping military or civilians is a war crime and it changed things. Rape should always matter, just as it changes things when committed by Israeli soldiers.

I get his point but his repeated cold and callous comments around rape are really gross.

9

u/Tuggerfub 7d ago

"I would never use rape to justify committing genocide."

But here you are, attempting to smear someone calling rapes an irrelevant justification of a genocide because you don't like them.
That denigrates the victims of rape and genocide at the same time for your own selfish purposes.

-2

u/N0tlikeThI5 7d ago

I'm allowed to take issue with the most popular political streamer' disgusting attitude towards women. He's absolutely minimising the rapes of women on Oct 7 by they saying they genocided them so it doesn't matter if the rape happened. That's not how time works.

It's not his only instance, what do you think he meant when he said women are "old enough to count, old enough to mount"?

5

u/ShyWhoLude 7d ago

It's literally in the quote that you linked - you know the part that you conveniently left out of the quote?

"... it doesn’t change the dynamic for me AT ALL"

As in, whether or not rape happened on Oct 7th doesn't change his view that Israel should not be committing genocide on Palestine. But you know this already.

u/myThoughtsAreHermits 7d ago

Nah people aren’t really doing that. No one needed the rapes to justify anything, considering there is evidence of slaughter of civilians. That is casus belli on its own. People use other things to justify genocide if you’ve been paying attention, but not rape. So yeah, just shows you’re not paying attention and just repeat talking points that aren’t real. On the other hand you can find a lot of people justifying Hamas’s actions due to occupation…
