Screenshot via Fox Business/Snapstream Hasan Piker, two weeks ago, delivered this message:“Democrats, listen to me, I know we don’t always see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but you have to literally, at some point — I know you don’t want to do this — defend me. Not because you love what I have to say, not because I’m part of this coalition, even though I am, whether you like it or not ... I’m not this dangerous, toxic radical force.”Was that a warning or a threat?Some 10 days later, what did this non-“dangerous, toxic radical force” say?“Because people don’t f*** with Israel any longer. And if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone’s going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews.”This was too much for Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who during the primary campaigned with his friend “Hasan” and had refused to stop campaigning with him. El-Sayed said, “Antisemitism is a scourge, and we need to address it in all its forms.” But El-Sayed did not call Piker’s comment antisemitic or promise not to campaign with him again.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries posted on X: “(The) malicious claim that American Jews are inviting violence against themselves is dangerous and antisemitic.” But Jeffries did not call out Piker by name.What took so long for even this mild, measured, guarded criticism?Piker has a long, pathetic history of disgusting remarks. Yet, Barack Obama and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have appeared on his stream. Bernie Sanders has defended him.So, who is Piker? And why have so many in the Democratic Party not only refused to denounce him but embraced this offensive, hateful antisemite?Piker has approximately 3.1 million X followers, 2 million Instagram followers, and millions more across YouTube and TikTok. He reaches the young voters Democrats desperately seek to win the midterms in November and to recapture the White House in 2028.Piker is an independent, self-described socialist. Whether he is formally a member of the Democratic Socialists of America is unclear, but his identification with their movement is not. For example, about New York City landlords, Piker last year screamed: “Kill them. Kill those motherf***ers. Murder those motherf***ers in the street. Let the streets soak in their f***ing red capitalist blood, dude.”Piker, in 2019, said, “America deserved 9/11.” He later apologized for using “inappropriate” language. But to this day, he has never said, “I am sorry.”Piker calls Israel an apartheid state and accuses it of genocide. Incredibly, in January, he claimed, “Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel.”He refers to Orthodox Jews as “inbred” and Zionism as “a mental illness.” In April 2025, on a live stream, he said, “In a totally just world ... regardless of your background ... any kind of f***ing Zionist tendency should be treated in the same way as being a f***ing rabid neo-Nazi ...”About October 7, 2023, the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, Piker said: “It doesn’t matter if rapes happened on Oct. 7. It doesn’t change the dynamic for me.” He added that no resistance movement is “perfect.”Piker, in 2020, while discussing constitutional protections, said, “F*** the Constitution. I wipe my a** with the Constitution. It’s a piece of paper. F*** the Constitution. F*** this country.”In Beijing in November 2025, standing at Tiananmen Square and holding a Chinese flag, Piker said, “I don’t have any kind of patriotism in my heart for America.”Presidential candidate Donald Trump, in 2016, was repeatedly asked to condemn former KKK member David Duke. On Morning Joe, Trump said:“David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years. I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK. Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past. I disavow him now.”Obama’s longtime pastor Jeremiah Wright made a Piker-like comment days after 9/11. Wright said: “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and Black South Africans ... America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” Obama eventually denounced Wright and broke with his church.As for Piker, given the Democrats’ hatred of Trump and desire to win the midterms, it’s see no evil, say no evil, hear no evil.Larry Elder is a bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio talk-show host.

An Israeli judge concluded on Wednesday that while Yona Simcha Schreiber was apparently the man behind the savage attack on a French Catholic nun in Jerusalem on April 28, he just couldn't help himself.Footage released by police appears to show Schreiber, a 36-year-old settler from the West Bank wearing a kippah and ritual tassels, run up behind an unsuspecting habited nun nearby King David’s Tomb and shove her to the ground.'We understand the difficult feelings of the complainant.'His victim — a researcher at the French School of Biblical and Archaeological Research in Jerusalem as well as a nun — writhes in pain on the ground, having struck her head against the stones, and the attacker begins to walk away, the footage shows.However, he abruptly turns and resumes his attack, kicking the woman until a passerby intervenes, according to the video.The nun suffered facial bruising and injuries to her leg, reported the Jerusalem Post.Israeli authorities condemned the violent episode, which generated international outrage, and suggested that the attacker would be held to account. "We strongly condemn this despicable attack. Violence against innocent individuals, and especially against members of religious communities, has no place in our society," the Israel Foreign Ministry said in a statement the day after the brutal assault. "This shameful act stands in direct contradiction to the values of respect, coexistence, and religious freedom upon which Israel is founded and to which it remains deeply committed."RELATED: Christianity-hating activist moves to tear down historic Los Angeles cross — but proud LA group is having none of it After Schreiber's arrest "on suspicion of an assault motivated by racism," George Deek, Israel's special envoy to the Christian world, noted that legal proceedings against the attacker were underway, demonstrating "Israel's clear commitment to enforcing the law and ensuring accountability."Schreiber, who was formerly indicted in May for what prosecutors recognized as a religious-based assault, was acquitted on Wednesday by reason of insanity. A government psychiatrist diagnosed Schreiber with schizophrenia and told the court that while there was no conclusive evidence to suggest that his supposedly psychotic thoughts were the cause of the attack, they were nevertheless an influence, reported the Jerusalem Post. The psychiatrist suggested further that at the time of the attack, Schreiber could neither understand what he was doing nor stop himself from doing it.The victim's attorney, Zaki Sahlia, cast doubt on this convenient psychiatric assessment, suggesting Schreiber's supposed illness may not have been the driving factor behind the attack and his choice of target. After all, suggested Sahlia, Schreiber singled out the nun in a street where there were multiple other would-be victims.Ophir Tischler — the judge overseeing the case — accepted the psychiatrist's suggestion that Schreiber was psychotic when he attacked the nun such that he couldn't be held criminally accountable. The judge ordered the settler to be hospitalized for a maximum of six years.The Post noted, however, that a psychiatric committee can bring an earlier end to Schreiber's hospitalization with a determination that his condition has improved.Schreiber's lawyer, Idan Gamlieli, said in a statement obtained by the Times of Israel, "The district psychiatrist determined that the unfortunate incident was the result of the accused’s mental illness and that he needs to be hospitalized for psychiatric treatment, and we hope that the medical treatment will help him to function normally again.""It is important for us to note that we understand the difficult feelings of the complainant and wish her well in overcoming the consequences of this unfortunate incident," added Gamlieli.The French School of Biblical and Archaeological Research in Jerusalem did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.Like Blaze News?

Biden-era federal employees purposely ignored some Trump voters amid Hurricane Milton disaster response, according to a new Department of Homeland Security report. The DHS’ Office of Inspector General found that at least 11 homes were passed over by disaster survivor assistance teams because they displayed pro-Trump signs. The OIG was stymied in a broader investigation of alleged anti-Trump supporter bias in other disaster responses because former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem failed to approve a contract that covered the maintenance of relevant records in a timely manner.‘Did not visit due to Trump flag.’ Federal Emergency Management Agency personnel violated the Hatch Act when at least one Disaster Survivor Assistance team politicized disaster response, according to the OIG. The report attributes these failures to insufficient training and education.“FEMA DSA crews did not receive ethics and Hatch Act training before deploying to disasters, DSA policies and procedures did not require crews to explain why they skipped homes, and DSA crew leaders were not required to conduct quality control reviews of survivor interactions,” the OIG report stated.The report noted that Marn’i Washington, a DSA team leader, was charged with two Hatch Act violations in 2025 for instructing her team to avoid Trump supporters amid Hurricane Milton response. Washington engaged in political activity while on duty and used official authority to interfere with an election, according to the Office of Special Counsel. Washington accused Trump supporters of hostility, claiming her instructions originated from legitimate safety concerns.RELATED: Immigrant business coalition takes Mamdani to court over city-run grocery stores CHANDAN KHANNA/AFP via Getty Images “Firstly, I’m being framed. There’s no violation of the Hatch Act. I was simply following orders,” Washington told NewsNation in 2024. “Safety precautions are not politically driven.”“It just so happened that, unfortunately, most of the hostile encounters, those running trends, did have those [Trump] campaign signs,” Washington said. No public decision has been disclosed in OSC's case against Washington.“The first instance of a note indicating a DSA crew skipped a home due to political signage occurred on October 19, 2024. A subsequent note on October 22 stated, ‘did not visit due to Trump flag.’ Nine additional notes concerning political signage followed,’” the OIG report noted regarding Washington's crew. Unfortunately, the OIG was unable to determine just how many crews followed Washington's anti-Trump lead. The Field Assessment and Collection Tools used to document government interactions with civilian survivors became unavailable to investigators after Noem ignored requests to provide funding.“We could not determine if crews skipped locations for unallowable reasons during other disasters because the support contract for FEMA’s Field Assessment and Collection Tools ended in September 2025 when then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem did not act on FEMA’s request to fund it before expiration,” the report reads. “We requested access to the data in March 2025, but FEMA delays prevented us from obtaining the data prior to the contractor abruptly shutting down the system.”"FEMA exported and retained all survivor assistance data, but only in a non-readable format that cannot be searched or analyzed unless FEMA procures a new system to restore access," a source familiar with the data told Blaze News. "DSA crews conducted their work using electronic tablets connected to this system and did not use paper notes, so there are no hard-copy records to review."If the contract was renewed and the system remained active, the DHS investigators planned to review more natural disaster responses to see whether other DSA crews skipped homes that displayed Trump signs.The OIG provided FEMA with several recommendations to prevent politicized disaster response in the future, including Hatch Act training and a mandatory survivor interaction documentation process for response teams. FEMA concurred with the OIG’s assessment, according to the report.“This situation eroded public trust in FEMA’s ability to treat everyone impartially, offer unbiased and consistent assistance, and ensure equal access to resources and tools,” the report reads.We may never know just how many Trump-supporting Americans were abandoned by the government officials responsible for helping them."The loss of access prevented us from assessing whether political bias in canvassing was a systemic issue during the scope period of this audit," according to the OIG. FEMA temporarily suspended door-to-door disaster response in 2025 while it reviewed its operations. FEMA, the DHS, and the OSC did not respond to requests for comment. Washington could not be reached for comment. Noem could not be reached through the State Department or her lawyer of record. Like Blaze News?
