Twitch streamer and famous YouTuber Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt has had his zackrawrr account banned after a racist rant about Muslims and Palestinians killed in Gaza went viral on social media. “My bad,” he shared on X (formerly Twitter) following an online backlash. “Looking back on it, I was way too much of an asshole about the Palestine thing.” His other Twitch channel, Asmongold, remains up.
In addition to playing games, Hoyt frequently livestreams extended chat sessions where he comments on other people’s YouTube videos or whatever topics are gaining traction on his dedicated subreddit. In the midst of a recent livestream, he began talking about Israel’s war on Gaza, which the Gaza Health Ministry says has killed over 40,000 Palestinians since it began just over a year ago following the October 7 attack by Hamas.
“If you want to consider a genocide as a systematic killing of a group of people they have genocide built into Sharia law right now so no I’m not going to cry a fucking river when people who have genocide that’s baked into their laws are getting genocided,” Hoyt said during a portion of the stream that was clipped and shared on social media (the original VOD doesn’t appear to be online). “I don’t give a fuck. They’re terrible people. It’s not even a question. It’s crazy people don’t see it that way. They’d be doing the same thing.”
It's a temporary ban. That is less of a consequence than what you'd face for airing a little too much copyrighted content or something, except for saying shit that could have come from Hitler's mouth.
Hitler probably would not have supported a Jewish ethnostate
The Haavara Agreement (Hebrew: הֶסְכֵּם הַעֲבָרָה, romanized: heskem haavara, lit. 'transfer agreement') was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist German Jews signed on 25 August 1933. The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany. It was a major factor in making possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Palestine between 1933 and 1939.
I stand corrected
Let's not pretend he wouldn't have let them do their own purges and destabilize the region before coming to dismantle them.
Or maybe the meth would fuel more bad decisions....
You're probably not realizing how anti-semitic the formation of Israel was. Look at it this way: the colonial powers that won WW2 decided it was better to steal land and push their Jewish populations there, rather than offer their Jewish populations protection domestically.
With that in mind, its not much of a surprise that Hitler was also for the expulsion of Jewish people from Europe.
That's true, I was in fact wholly unaware. Human history just gets worse the more you learn, huh?
Actually, temp bans on twitch are deadly to streamers. With the way discovery on twitch works, it rewards consistency. If you have a week off, you can lose like 20% of your subscriptions. It's insane how quickly this can kill popular channels. After a month you're starting from scratch.
For established streamers like him though? Probably slap on the wrist
