Hasan Piker, a member of the new “influencer” industry in America, has broken down all sorts of limits for going extreme.

He claimed Americans deserved 9/11. He campaigns for ultra-progressives. A Muslim who grew up in Istanbul and Ankara, he’s collaborated with far-left U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on events. He streams his scoldings online, and apparently thousands and thousands of people listen.

He’s slurred white people as “crackers.” His extremism doesn’t recognize civilized limits, and he’s called for Republicans to “kill Rick Scott.” He’s critical of Israel and campaigned for Michigan congressional candidate Abdulraham Mohamed El-Sayed. He’s often identified as a Marxist. He’s been accused of sympathizing with China’s communists.

He’s support the terror of Hamas, saying, “Hamas is a thousand times better than a fascist settler colonial apartheid state.”

Some observations:

Now Piker is being sued.

In a civil case for allegedly cause a rise an anti-Semitism and a rise in violence against Jews and Christians.

The allegations come in a filing in the Circuit Court for the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida by public interest advocate Larry Klayman.

Klayman, whose advocacy for government integrity once had a television show named a character after him, cites Piker for being “the center of the rise of anti-Semitism and rise violence against Jews and Christians.”

Piker, which the case describes as “a radical jihadist Muslim and Communist,” “streams live to the many millions of Jews and Christian haters, from which he turns a handsome financial return.”

Piker claimed, on August 20, 2026, “Eventually someone’s going to come around and take action, not against the State of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews.”

He blamed American Jews who support Israel for “making antisemitism worse,” threatened violence against persons like Klayman, who is a high profile conservative Zionist, messianic Jew and activist who supports Israel.

It alleges Piker had said Jews should “go back to Auschwitz.”

Anti-Defamation league chief Jonathan Greenblatt has said Piker has “a long track record of commending and excusing terrorism.”

The complaint alleges that this is, in effect, a fatwa: assign blame to Jews who support Israel and then tell a mass audience that violence against them will follow.

Klayman stated, “Piker has issued a fatwa against Jewish activist Zionists like me with the intention to harm and kill people like me. Piker yelled fire at Jews and Christians who support Israel. This is not free speech protected by the First Amendment! Its far worse and much more dangerous than yelling fire in a crowded theatre, which is crime.”

The action seeks damages in excess of $150 million for reckless endangerment, assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and “an injunction stopping Piker from again telling a mob to take violent action against Jews who support Israel.”

Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, was part of exposing the Clinton-era Filegate and Chinagate scandals

Klayman pointed out that his reputation prompted the NBC drama series, “West Wing,” to create a character and name him Harry Klaypool after him.

Klayman cites the recent anti-Semitic attacks including the 2025 murders of Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington and the Boulder firebombing that killed Karen Diamond, 82, as well as the massacre of two children at Mass in Minneapolis.
