After #HasanPiker and #CenkUygur were banned from entering the #UK earlier this week, reportedly because of their criticism of #Israel, Piker commented that he “would never have imagined that a [Labour] government would ban me from entering the UK.” Indeed, millions of UK voters would likely agree.

But Keir Starmer’s government is not really a Labour government; it came to power on the back of a secret project to wrest control of the #LabourParty back from an ascendant left wing. This secret project was resourced by illegally undeclared money from wealthy donors, funneled through a seemingly anodyne think tank called #LabourTogether. It involved covertly seeding promiscuous claims of antisemitism against political opponents, attempting to silence independent media that threatened to expose its project...

Hasan Piker on Being Banned from U.K., Traveling to Cuba & Supporting Candidates Critical of Israel

The British government earlier this week barred left-wing political commentators Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur from entering the U.K. ahead of several speaking events. The Home Office said it was canceling their travel permits because “their presence in the U.K. may not be conducive to the public good.” Piker and Uygur, who are related, are both outspoken in their criticism of Israel. While the government did not cite a specific reason for the ban, some lawmakers and pro-Israel groups had accused the two of promoting antisemitism, which they reject. “I find what the British government did here to be objectionable. I find it to be disgusting. I also find it to be terrifying,” Piker tells Democracy Now! “I think it’s a sign that we’re … headed down a very different — dare I say, fascist — direction in the Western world.” Piker also discusses his participation in a recent humanitarian mission to Cuba, for which he is reportedly under investigation by the Trump administration, and his support for progressive and antiwar candidates in this year’s midterm elections. “We don’t have a lot of time. Fascism is here,” Piker says.

#HasanPiker and #CenkUygur were just denied entry to #UK because of alleged #antisemitism.

#JeremyCorbyn was couped from #Labour because of alleged #antisemitism.

#NathanRobinson was fired from #TheGuardian because of alleged #antisemitism.

none of whom are #palestineans!

#germany just declared the #watermelon an extremist symbol of hate. in #australia you'll get pulled over if you display a #watermelon.

weaponized accusations of #antisemitism is being used to silence any and all solidarity with #palestine.

so what if this author is "only" trying to silence those #antizionist #leftists who aren't #palestinean?

Generally, I'm not a fan of anyone who shares over-confident hot takes on every topic, but I've heard quite a lot from Hasan Piker lately (Pod Save America, What Now with Trevor Noah) without seeking him out. It's pretty remarkable that a brown guy in this version of America is saying most of the things I think but would never say in front of a stranger, so you've got to tip your cap to his fearlessness even if you don't agree with him or his style. I don't think that young man is going to last too much longer in this climate. #hasanpiker #uspol
