'Congratulations to my haters' : HasanAbi responds to backlash over Israel-Palestine views
Image via:HasanAbi/YouTube Twitch star and outspoken political commentator Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker finds him at the center of a storm of controversy, following a heated live-stream debate with Ethan Klein, as well as a segment on Fox News that has given rise to criticism of Hasan's political views. Having been the subject of much online discussion concerning his stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict, Hasan's latest commentary mixes sarcastic concern with a jab towards detractors. 'I think I'm going to jail': HasanAbi reacts live During a recent Twitch stream, the Turkish-American content creator reacted in real-time to Fox News airing a discussion segment that scrutinized his political ideology. "Sh**, let's go! Oh, let's go! I think I'm going to jail by the way. This might actually cause me to go to jail. Lowkey, but highkey," Hasan half-joking and half-cautious, as he came to understand national media attention. — Awk20000 (@Awk20000) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tap Into Real-Time Signals Designed to Support Your Trading Decisions News Portal Try Now Undo Fox News criticism might come about for HasanAbi's long-term pro-Palestinian stance; they have also cast the show and HasanAbi as dangerous influences on young, progressive audiences, a label that HasanAbi seemingly wears with pride. "Congratulations to my haters, bro. You did. All the liberals," he said, implying that the backlash from the media is being used as a weapon against his side. Ethan Klein challenges HasanAbi over Content Cop appearance The cable news drama was not over. Just four days after the May 2 confrontation, the long-time frenemy Ethan Klein and HasanAbi locked horns in a debate streamed live simultaneously on both their channels. The difficult subject? Hasan's short, seemingly uninterested cameo appearance in the reboot of Content Cop.. Klein accused Hasan of trying to distance himself from the project and cited a cringeworthy moment wherein an extra did some background Fortnite dancing. "Let me ask you, sir. How was filming that Content Cop? I think you were embarrassed, frankly," meaning Hasan would rather not be associated with the sketch's tone. RECAPPING THE ETHAN KLEIN DEBATE Hasan retaliated, stating that his small part was by design and consistent with previous comedic appearances. But Klein would not buy it: "You are absent from every other shot. I think you saw them doing that Fortnite dance, and you said, 'I gotta get out of this.'" Online reactions: Fans divided over HasanAbi's public image The moment fed into the atmosphere of speculation regarding HasanAbi's public image and how it is being shaped or misshaped by both the traditional media and peers within the creator community. Some fans see the scrutiny as a clumsy attempt at a hit job, while others are looking at it coming as the direct fallout of Hasan's ever-bolder stances on political matters. Time will tell whether this barrage of scrutiny will damage or further cement HasanAbi's influence. For now, he's leaning into the firestorm rather than retreating from it.

The event marked a major escalation in their ongoing public dispute, which has been brewing since their professional fallout in 2023. The two previously co-hosted the left-leaning Leftovers podcast until it ended in October 2023. Their relationship soured over political disagreements and public statements, leading to a series of critical videos. Klein released a "Content Nuke" video aimed at Piker, prompting a sharp rebuttal from Piker via a "Content Cop" collaboration with YouTuber iDubbbz. The debate, streamed live across both their platforms, was triggered by lingering tensions over those videos. At one point, Klein accused Piker of being embarrassed by parts of the Content Cop, suggesting he downplayed his role. Piker defended himself, saying his involvement was consistent with past collaborations. Viewers quickly weighed in on social media, with reactions split. Some praised Piker's composure and clarity, while others sided with Klein, highlighting what they saw as stronger counterpoints. The exchange dominated conversations on Reddit and Twitter, where users dissected everything from debate tactics to tone. This confrontation highlights the new dynamics of digital creator culture, where personal disputes and professional disagreements increasingly play out in public arenas and become content in their own right. As streamers and podcasters continue to blur the line between persona and platform, debates like this underscore both the reach and the risks of influencer-driven discourse.

Ethan Klein says human skulls were mailed during CPS visit and FBI launched investigation
Ethan Klein, host of the H3 Podcast, revealed that he received two human skulls in the mail around the same time Child Protective Services (CPS) visited his home in March 2025, following a false report. He discussed the incident during the 119th episode of the H3 Show and later elaborated in an April 21 video on his h3h3Productions YouTube channel. Klein said the situation began in early March, when CPS arrived after an anonymous tip claimed his child was 'crawling around and eating dog feces.' He noted that the CPS officer suggested the report may have come from someone familiar with the family. Klein responded that it's easy to impersonate someone online, making false reports difficult to trace. Around that time, the family received two unidentified human skulls by mail, prompting an FBI investigation. 'We had a very pleasant interview with the FBI,' Klein stated, adding that the situation had escalated beyond the usual bounds of online trolling and harassment. Alongside the CPS and FBI developments, Klein also addressed criticism from YouTuber Ian 'iDubbbz' Carter, whose recent Content Cop video targeted Klein. In his response titled My Response to iDubbbz, Klein called the hour-long feature 'poorly researched' and 'desperate,' questioning why he was singled out more harshly than others and accusing iDubbbz of compromising his values for relevance. As of now, iDubbbz has not publicly responded to Klein's video. Klein said the experience highlights how internet conflicts can spiral into real-world threats, moving 'well past the point' of typical online drama.
