    But politico doesn’t tell us what these supposed offending comments are and provides no link to them.

    I suspect because those comments aren’t that bad and axel springer, the nazis that own politico, are naziing it up for Israel, as usual.

      Oh, they did. It’s just buried in the middle so you miss it skimming.

      In 2019, Piker said on his livestream that “America deserved 9/11,” though he later apologized for the remark. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, Piker strongly condemned the Israeli response in Gaza and has disparaged the government in terms some Jews and supporters of Israel have labeled antisemitic.

      Both are factually accurate. Just not what the various US propaganda teams (aka millionaire donors/billionaire owners) want said.

        Yeah I read it, ‘has disparaged the government in terms some Jews and supporters of Israel have labeled antisemitic.’ Is what I refer to.

        If they don’t bring what was said, you can safely presume they’re full of shit and in bad faith.
