Twitch streamers Frogan, Vio, Denims, Capri all banned on Twitch for making fun of shitty Israeli hummus : chapotraphouse

[–] dead@hexbear.net 101 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

Frogan, Vio, Denims, and Capri are all friends of Hasanabi. I think they're all Leftist. Frogan is a muslim woman and said she hopes that American soldiers get PTSD for helping Israel (based). Vio is comedy twitch stream, but I think with Leftist sympathy. Vio also lives with / is dating Central_Committee (Mike_From_PA on twitter), which is the second largest self-proclaimed socialist news channel on twitch. Denims is a woman on twitch who talks about some Leftism stuff. Capri aka CapriSunnPapi is Palestinian/Lebanese man. Frogan and Capri both have family who live in Lebanon. I think these are actually cool people, not vaushite people.

here's a video where Frogan and Capri talk about their family in Lebanon. They talk about their families being bombed by Israel.

The bans were probably lead by Ethan Klein and Destiny's community.

Ethan and Destiny are taking credit for the bans and gloating on their shows, in reality the ADL claimed they spoke directly with Twitch staff which was followed by the bans

This shit is so obviously racist, straight up targeted harassment of Arab and pro-Palestine streamers by zionists and their right-wing allies

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 50 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

ADL probably wouldnt have noticed until D and subsequently h3 made it a thing. But thats definitely the pressure twitch had to cave to.

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

And to be more specific, it could be based on an insinuation that the hummus brand name was code for “Israeli-borne Jew” that I saw ethan saying it’s a thing based on comments on the D psychos.

Which is of course 100% not real but who gives a shit right.

Do you want to know something funny? The term Sabra comes from the name of the prickly pear cactus plant in Hebrew and the settlers assumed the cactus was a native plant to the territory. So they thought a plant represented them that they assumed was native to the land, but actually was not at all native to the land.

Since the early days of Jewish immigration to then-Mandate Palestine, Israelis have called the ideal Israeli, who is born in the country, a sabra: tough on the outside like the thorny fruit, soft on the inside like its sweet flesh, and native to the soil like the plant. (Although like many Israelis, sabra is actually an immigrant, having arrived from the Americas via Spain several centuries ago.)

Ethan can go fuck himself. Typical Zionist Jewish supremacists piece of shit. The only issue ever is anti semitism for him. He doesn't give a shit about anything else. He's so obsessed he has to create a problem when ther isnt one. When you're on the same side as destiny you've completely lost the plot. Fucking assholes like these just making everything worse makes me such a pro doomer and the way things are going with the environment I guess I have something to be happy about.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 59 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

i mean yes in the end it's all streamer drama (to all those that will be like "who are these people ?" to sound cool)

but at the core but it does demonstrate the outsized influence that can be deployed against even the mildly leftist pipeline types. there is precious little in this space for younger people that isn't chud, chud-adjacent, straight fascist, or fascist adjacent zionazi.

it does show how quickly and throughly the entire tiny ecosystem of leftist creators could be absolutely shut down if there was a cross platform coordinated ban. imagine just every leftist instantly having all their socials closed, banned from every platform, utterly silenced and how little anyone would be able to do about it.

because it's coming

[–] dead@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I would add that despite these people being streamers, their communities also do some activism in real life, like participating in the antiwar student encampment protests and other protests in support of Palestinians.

goddamn ADL is tweeting about Frogan by name now, as if she doesn't get enough constant threats of death and violence and SA

i enjoyed the double entendre of "likes Sabra", as both criticizing people who like the shitty hummus and also the massacre it's named after.

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well you see Sabra could also mean "israeli-born person" so it's actually super antisemitic to talk about the shitty grainy hummus.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 30 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The term alludes to a tenacious, thorny desert plant, known in English as prickly pear, with a thick skin that conceals a sweet, softer interior. The cactus is compared to Israeli Jews, who are supposedly tough on the outside, but delicate and sweet on the inside.

which ya know, additionally silly when you consider the plant is from the Americas, and was widely used in colonial states as a living fence

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Sweet and delicate inside" is a hell of a way to describe "full of rancid shit and bloody entrails" tbh, they're so full of themselves lol...

What part is the "sweetness" again? It's certainly not given to the indigenous Arabs- so who is it for? Non-Arabs, like the Asian laborers they prevent from fraternizing with locals or having sex whatsoever in the country (racist racial purity bullshit from the sounds of it)? To their fellow Jews, like the Ethiopian Jews they have forcefully sterilized, the Yemeni and other MENA Jews they discriminate against, or all those Jewish people who reject their settler-colonialism- or even those fellow Zionists who simply have concerns or get in the way (that Hannibal protocol lol)?

What sweetness exactly are we talking about lol.. they may as well have called the Nazis sweet, their attitude in some ways even is more repulsive than that.

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The metaphor would make more sense if you opened up a prickly pear and inside was just more spines pointing inward

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

It would make more sense if the fruit in question was a bomb that detonated inside a hospital.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 70 points 2 weeks ago

banned for a sanctioned event at Twitch's own convention is a fucking insane thing to do to them. these myopic zionist pieces of shit aren't content with violently starving Palestinians and Lebanese people in those countries, so apparently they have to try to starve the vocal ones that live in amerikkka too. interesting that they didn't ban the actual Jewish person that was part of the same event, whose idea it was, seemingly. they also put one of the Arab people that got banned (denims) at the bottom of the "loves sabra" tier, how does that stack with "Sabra = Jew" calculus that the ADL is pushing?

Ethan KKKlein of Heinrich3Himler3 and the ADL teamed up for this one, honestly we're lucky hasan isnt getting it too because Ethan is leveraging his huge platform against him

[–] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They originally wanted to call the channel HH88 but that was slightly too obvious.

[–] WorkingClassCorpse@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

Wasn't he doing a stream targeting the twitch ceo and feigning outrage that Hasan hasn't been banned yet today?

That guy is completely lost his fucking mind

[–] miz@hexbear.net 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

zionist einsatzgruppen openly exterminating people in Gaza right now, and these are the "rules" the west is enforcing. not international law, just Calvinball and the ADL calls the shots.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 37 points 2 weeks ago

I am so sick of this weaselly bullshit where Zionists pretend that they're poor discriminated victims and get people silenced for "antisemitism." Using the banner of anti-racism to facilitate actual genocide.

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 44 points 2 weeks ago

I thought Zionists wanted people to condemn hummus. Did I not hear them correctly?

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 41 points 2 weeks ago

Twitch once again proving the whole point of their site is to create the most racist community online. They only banned Israel because having them in the site is like doping.

Can some one clue me in on what this means? I'm not in the Twitch drama loop

[–] dead@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Twitch 30-day banned 5 twitch streamers, 4 of which are Arab, for making a chart which said that people who eat Sabra brand hummus are not Arab, as part of an episode of an Arab podcast called Ayyrabs. Sabra is an Israeli company and their Hummus tastes bad. Zionist groups, such as ADL, demanded that twitch give these bans because these 5 streamers promote antizionism and make politically Left content. Two of the banned streamers have family who are currently being bombed in Lebanon by Israel.

Two weeks out from the election it would be a terrible strategy to intentionally deplatform the largest leftist pipeline on the internet, especially considering the potential to radicalize scores of disillusioned liberals

If would also give Ethan and destiny exactly what they want, which is to silence all pro-Palestinian voices

Hasan's strategy of largely ignoring Ethan and using the drama as launching pad to educate on the crimes of Israeli apartheid is driving Klein up the wall, the man is spiraling

Replacing that with an online hunger strike just isn't efficient or likely to be effective in any way

[–] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

lol Hasan with Hezbollah strategy of not responding to provocations and keeping cool at all times.

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago

Two weeks out from the election

I'm starting to realize how much money and viewership Frogan, Vio, Denims, and Capri are about to lose out on from their month-long bans

Obviously your post is in bad faith and honestly disgusting. You see a post where people are being silenced for supporting Palestine and you are trying to shift the blame to someone you don't like a personal level. You saw pro-palestinian and pro-lebanese voices getting silenced, 2 of these people have family being bombed, and you try to make this into an opportunity to stir up drama. You are gross.

All of the people who were banned are friends of Hasan and have direct communication with Hasan. None of the people who are banned would want Hasan to stop streaming. They like that he reports Israel's crimes to thousands or millions of people. It is very likely that Hasan is talking to them right now to try to help them out and possibly also talking with twitch to try to get rid of the bans.
