Hi 'Destiny'/Steven,
1. You do your best impression of Laura Loomer and Randy Fine by accusing me of being "just another mask-on, radical Islamist who’s been concealing his radical beliefs in an attempt to infiltrate western media" and then expect me to respond to/debate you? A guy pushing far-right Islamophobic smears?
So this is my one and only response to you, and then you're either muted or blocked.
2. Your claim that I am "largely clueless about Israel/Palestine" is laughable coming from a guy who had his ass handed to him on this issue by Norman Finkelstein and Mouin Rabbani over the course of a five-hour debate, where so many of your talking points came from Wikipedia searches.

I've actually interviewed Israeli prime ministers like Ehud Olmert; you famously didn't even know how to say Ehud Barak's name. Stay in your lane, Steven.
3. I'm not Hasan Piker's spokesman, but look, I know, for an Islamophobe like you, all of us Muslims called Hasan must believe the same thing. But if Hasan wants to defend China or Mao, that's on him, I obviously disagree. I loathe totalitarianism and killers of all kinds. I happen to be defending Hasan on the specific issue of anti-Zionism and antisemitism, where people this past week have been totally misquoting him or quoting him out of context or attacking him for things not dissimilar to what Haley Stevens and Ezra Klein have said. Many of the 5-second (!) clips of him speaking on long streams are obviously out of context. As for all the claims you make about him below, how am I even supposed to know if they're true? You offer no links, no evidence, just 'trust me bro.' Oh, and I asked him about some of his most controversial statements when he was on my podcast so stop lying about that but, either way, ask *him* to defend his views, not me.
4. You've been caught on camera telling budding Israeli troops: "Here's the one piece of advice I'll give you, ok if you're joining the IDF, ok? Leave your fucking cellphone at home and stop taking stupid fucking videos, ok? Because everyone's fucking you with them, ok. If you see a soldier, ok, going through a fucking drawer and, listen if you wanna wear a dress and you think it's funny, just don't fucking take a fucking video picture of it, Jesus."

I'm sure you'll claim that your advice to Israeli soldiers to cover up and hide their war crimes in Gaza is taken 'out of context' so surely you must see the irony here.
I know that I've never advised anyone to commit crimes but do it off camera!
5. Talking about things that are on or off camera, one of the reasons I don't engage with you is I hear all sorts of things about you and 'revenge porn' and other allegations, no idea if they're true or not, but you sure sound like a dodgy guy, so I'd rather keep my distance from you and I also don't know why you'd think I *must* answer your questions, at your command. This isn't a Twitch stream and I'm not your pal Nick Fuentes. Like I said, stay in your lane.

Oh, and of course, you've now also shown yourself to be a racist Islamophobe so another reason for me not to engage further (see point 1).
6. One good thing about you viciously and publicly attacking me like this is now I don't have to be weirded out about those fawning DMs you sent me last year saying "you are my only main stream media spirit animal right now...thank you."
Happy to return to a position of mutual loathing where you loudly and proudly support the killing of Palestinian civilians (and the looting of their clothes, off camera) while I remain consistent in opposing the killing of all civilians, Israelis, Palestinians, Muslims, Jews, all civilians.
Goodbye.
You, someone whose proven themselves to be largely clueless about Israel/Palestine, are confident enough to say I “support genocide” in Gaza, but cannot bring yourself to make any meaningful statements condemning a man who you now see OPENLY supports terrorism against anyone in the west?
You had him on your show for an interview and chalked all of his support for terrorism up to “edgy comments”?
Is his support for Hezbollah just edgy? Do you support Hezbollah’s existence as a foreign funded and Iranian founded entity in Lebanon like Hasan does?
Do you support civilian hijackings and terror attacks on civilians from the Houthis like Hasan does? Would you ask a self-purported Ansar Allah fighter what his favorite anime is and then giggle along in an interview while he tells you about how they drugged the passengers of the Galaxy Leader and sang songs with them?
Was China correct in their takeover of the Tibetan savages like Hasan says? Do you support their crackdowns in Hong Kong and would you support them taking back Taiwan?
Does Russia have a right to own Crimea because most of the people there were ethnically Russian like Hasan says?
Was the murder of two Jews in the US a false flag from the Mossad like Hasan says?
Since you’ve never pushed him on any of these positions nor addressed any of them in any meaningful way, I’d say it’s fair to assume every right wing attack on you is most likely correct. You’re just another mask-on, radical Islamist who’s been concealing his radical beliefs in an attempt to infiltrate western media by appearing more palatable to the liberal masses.
How else could you explain such unfathomably dishonest sweeping for open support of terrorist attacks?
