Far-left streamer Hasan Piker equates Israel's 'right to exist' to Nazi Germany

Far-left streamer Hasan Piker equated Israel's "right to exist" to Nazi Germany on Saturday during an interview on "The Breakfast Club," calling it an "apartheid state." "I think Israel in its current formation, given that it’s a settler colonial operation that’s seeking out the expulsion or complete extermination of the indigenous population as an apartheid state does not have a right to exist," he said.

"It’s like, for me, it’s like saying does Nazi Germany have a right to exist or does apartheid South Africa have a right to exist? Does Rhodesia have a right to exist? No, of course not." Host of "The Breakfast Club," Charlamagne tha God, asked if it was like saying MAGA didn't have a right to exist, and Piker said yes.

"That doesn't mean kill all Republicans or whatever, right? I mean, I'm sure that's how people would present it as.

I mean, this is a trick that every political movement deploys, right?" Piker responded.

HASAN PIKER CLAIMS ISRAEL HAS NO ‘RIGHT TO EXIST’ IN ITS CURRENT FORM WHO IS HASAN PIKER? MEET THE FAR-LEFT STREAMER WHO IS STIRRING UP CONTROVERSY AND DIVIDING DEMOCRATS He added, "So the, 'Does Israel have a right to exist?' deployment as a statement, as a question, is a technique to shift the conversation away from Israel's crimes against the Palestinians to make it seem like the opposition is actually being crazy, and they want like all Jews to be exterminated, all Israelis to be exterminated, which is not the case.

That's not a real point of advocacy, it's certainly not my advocacy," the streamer continued.

UCLA professor Benjamin Radd refuted Piker's characterization of Israel in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"Piker’s comments about Israel as a ‘settler colonial operation’ and its alleged objective of ‘seeking out the expulsion or complete extermination’ of one of the region’s indigenous groups reflects a profound ignorance of the historical development of the land, and of the various ethnic, religious, and colonial-imperial powers — including the Ottoman Turks — that have traded control over it.

If Piker were intellectually honest, he could hold two uncomfortable truths simultaneously: that different groups, including Jews, have legitimate indigenous claims and that the current Israeli leadership does not represent nor serve as an indictment of those claims," Radd said.

Piker, an outspoken anti-Israel voice , also compared Zionism to fascism and Nazi Germany during the conversation.

"I think the reason why the Israeli society broadly has shifted so far to the right in a matter of decades is because of this ideology that guides Israeli society.
