Influencer Hasan Piker is celebrating the swift return of his Twitch streaming account, which was restored merely 24 hours after being suspended. The suspension was due to his comment suggesting that the murder of two Israeli diplomats at a Jewish museum in Washington, DC, last week looked like a “false flag” operation.
The popular streamer, favored by Democrats, shared on X that his account suspension for “Improper Handling of Terrorist Propaganda” had been lifted.
The post, repurposing a popular meme, shows a picture of a man in a hospital bed with a text bubble underneath.
“I lived bitch,” the text reads.
Piker, who has a following of 2.8 million on Twitch, caused a stir over the weekend with his comments. He suggested that the deaths of two Israeli Embassy officials bore the characteristics of a “false flag operation,” a tactic in which an act is designed to be perceived as having been conducted by a different party to ascribe blame.
“I’m not ‘Mr. False Flag’ at all, but, like, every single thing that [Rodriguez] did in the aftermath of the shooting is so f–king crazy that it’s like, you could not have designed a f–king incident like this,” he said.
“You could not have decided a better false flag incident like this,” he said in the live stream, which was also shared to his 1.6 million YouTube followers on Friday.
