https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/156e4d46-ddc4-4ea8-a717-37c62f35fd8a Hasan Piker, a popular political commentator and Twitch streamer known for his pro-Palestinian views, was detained and questioned by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) upon re-entry to the United States. During the interrogation, officials pressed Piker on his political opinions, particularly concerning the Israel-Gaza war, asking him whether he considered Hamas a terror organisation or a resistance group. Piker, who has nearly 3 million followers on Twitch, has been outspoken about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and has criticised US military aid to Israel. His detaining is the latest in a series of crackdowns by US authorities on outspoken pro-Palestinian activists, most of them students who were active in Gaza solidarity camps at US universities. In recent months Piker had a falling out with his former podcast co-host Ethan Klein, an American-Israeli YouTuber, over their disagreements on the war on Gaza. Since then Klein, who has over 5.5 million YouTube subscribers, has repeatedly been accusing Piker and other pro-Palestinian Twitch streamers of antisemitism and supporting terrorism.
