You can't say, you know, Zionist insert animal. For example, like that's something you cannot say.
Then: "It's a clear cut caving into capitulation to outside organizations, but you know, it is what it is."
For a year after October 7, Israelis could not even sign up. Its biggest political streamer calls people “Zionist pigs” and says he would vote for Hamas “every single time.” A Twitch engineer has moderated his chat for five years. Pro-Israel viewers get banned for life in 6 seconds. And Amazon cashes the checks.

Every suspension he has ever gotten, drawn to scale against one 30-day ban. His last two were a long weekend and Memorial Day.
In November 2024, under pressure from Congress, Twitch added "Zionist" to its hateful conduct policy. It even gave an example of what is banned.
"We treat 'Zionists' as a proxy for Jews or Israelis if the word is used in a context to promote harm or violence, or when used to make dehumanizing comparisons or perpetuate antisemitic stereotypes."
"Rabid ultra-Zionist pigs"
Hasan Piker, January 29, 2026. Suspended 3 days, Friday to Monday."You fucking bloodthirsty violent pig dog"
Hasan Piker, October 2023. "I stand by this." No suspension."zionist pig dogs"
His chat, October 8, 2023. Left up by his moderators. Rule broken. Rule unenforced.Three days after Twitch published it, Hasan explained the rule to his own audience. Nobody can claim he did not know.
You can't say, you know, Zionist insert animal. For example, like that's something you cannot say.
Then: "It's a clear cut caving into capitulation to outside organizations, but you know, it is what it is."
You got these rabid ultra-Zionist freaks creating lists of people.
No suspension.
This is another big suck my dick to all the fucking Israel dick riders out there, you fucking rabid ultra-Zionist pigs.
The exact phrase Twitch's own example bans. Three days, Friday to Monday.
I got banned for calling someone a Zionist insert in bracket animal. Okay. Like an animal name.
He blames the ADL for the rule and keeps the channel.
"There is no place on Twitch for racism, hatred, or harassment of any kind, including antisemitism and Islamophobia."
Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, November 1, 2024"It's hard to sit there and talk for six hours straight and not step over the line."
Dan Clancy, March 2025, after Hasan's one-day ban for "kill Rick Scott"For a full year after October 7, Israelis could not sign up for Twitch. From October 2023 to October 21, 2024, account registration from Israel was shut off. Israelis who wrote to Twitch Support had their tickets closed without explanation. A streamer publicly flagged it in May 2024. Nothing changed.
Twitch reopened sign-ups within days of it becoming a news story, and called the year-long lockout an "unacceptable miss."
The answer to Rep. Ritchie Torres's letter naming Hasan was not action against the channel. It was a blog post and a new content label so viewers could filter out "Politics and Sensitive Social Issues."
