We have all seen the left continue to have their emotional meltdowns over the war raging in Gaza between the just forces of Israel and the terrorist heathens of Hamas. All over the country, we see mobs of mindless leftist NPCs (Non Playable Characters) collectively lose their minds on anyone who supports Israel in their fight against evil. Whether people protest meetings, shut down streets, or, in Hasan Piker's case, meltdown on X or other social media platforms, the left continues to show their ignorance and hate for Jewish people and Israel.
A perfect example here:
San Francisco Votes for a 'Ceasefire' With Hamas, and the Video Is Both Hilarious and Terrifying
Piker is the nephew of another raging leftist, Cenk Uygur, from the far-left news commentary show on YouTube called "The Young Turks." Uygur and Piker are well known for their trash views, especially on Israel, with both even going as far as refusing to denounce the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023. Piker, posted on his X account with a hilariously moronic take on the recent American and British strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. Piker offered his "expert" opinion on the situation, and it went about as bad as you would think.
the united states cares more about the continuation of commerce than stopping the ethnic cleansing campaign in gaza. this is the world police. houthis have openly stated since day 1 that their blockade in the red sea is due to israels siege on gaza & will end when israel stops!! https://t.co/vw3IabNeLu

The Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden surround a large portion of Yemen. However, the shipping lanes of merchant and military ships in both bodies of water are considered international waters. When a ship is over 24 miles off the coastal waters of a country, it is considered to be in international waters. So when the Houthi rebels, with Iranian support, initiate military actions to harass, limit, destroy, impede, or otherwise blockade or restrict that shipping, it is completely lawful and appropriate to respond with force. Especially after the American and other governments gave the Houthis their 2,000th final warning to stop or else. And respond they did, with American and British aircraft and ships delivering warheads on Houthi Foreheads.
According to the Houthis, they targeted the merchant shipping traffic because they were either Israeli-owned/operated or were being sent to deliver aid to Israel. The problem, though, is none of the ships were Israeli-flagged vessels, and none of them were headed to Israel. The American and other Allied military surface combatant ships were in the region to protect those ships from Houthi attacks and were then attacked themselves. The U.S. and its partner allies are well within our rights to protect not only ourselves but all merchant traffic, in order to keep the lines of commerce open.
Commercial shipping lines are vital for all countries, and to allow terrorists to block or attack those lanes just because the terrorists and Piker's enemies are doing something they don't like is not only childish but unlawful. It is the equivalent of a man punching a random stranger because his neighbor who lives two streets down keeps getting tee-peed by teenagers from the other side of town and then punching every random stranger that they see until the teens stop.
Piker, along with the mindless leftist hordes, sympathizes with the evil that is Hamas. The reports and videos of rampant antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment never stop. A recent video posted to X shows a man giving a public comment at a San Francisco City Council meeting and telling those in attendance about how five of his immediate family members were killed in the October 7th attacks and two of his cousins were taken hostage by Hamas. He called out the pro-Hamas people in the audience, who can be seen throwing up their thumbs behind him to simulate horns, and verbally berated him as he was talking. He said he and his family no longer feel safe because of the huge rise in antisemitism and Jewish hatred.

The video should send chills down your spine and lava through your veins. But don't let that video fool you — according to the Biden administration, white supremacy is the problem and the real threat to this country. But to answer the question or allegation posed by Piker, yes, we do care about protecting innocent civilian shipping and crews and preventing piracy on the high seas. And no, Hasan, Israel isn't committing ethnic cleansing/genocide, as Hasan and his uncle, who are Turkish, know full well what genocide/ethnic cleansing is given that their Turkish ancestors from just a few generations ago were responsible for the genocide/ethnic cleansing of over 1.5 million Armenians during the Armenian Genocide. I'm thinking that Piker should sit this one out.
