Hasan Piker, the biggest progressive political streamer in America, was detained by Customs and Border Protection for hours of questioning upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to France this weekend. Piker posted about the incident on X and later talked about it on stream.

He was detained in Chiago and questioned for two hours about protected journalistic activities like who he’s interviewed and his political beliefs. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel and asked about his history of bans on Twitch. His phone and laptop were not confiscated.

Firstly, you really ought to see that documentary. I repeat: America is not given a free pass.

And finally Israel didn’t retaliate, Israel started it a century ago.

That is arguable however...

The practical starting point is that neither Jews nor Arabs are leaving the Levant. The Gazans' inability to accept this is why the conflict continues.

The West Bank, however, I admit has seen Israeli expansionism regardless of Arab terrorism. Obama disappointed me greatly there.
