Twitch streamer HasanAbi accuses ADL Ceo Jonathan Greenblatt of defaming him following the DC Jewish Museum shoot

The political Twitch streamer HasanAbi, also known as Hasan Piker, on Thursday, May 22, accused Jonathan Greenblatt, the national director and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), of defamation during his stream.

In accusations by HasanAbi that followed, Jonathan criticized Piker during a CNN segment following the shooting incident that took place on May 21, 2025, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., leading to the death of two Israeli Embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.

Jonathan had name-dropped HasanAbi and accused him of 'genocidal rhetoric against Jewish people.'

HasanAbi accuses ADL Ceo Jonathan Greenblatt of defamation

In a Twitch stream on May 22, 2025, Hasan accused Jonathan of defaming him and the New York Times during a CNN segment following the shooting incident. In the segment, Jonathan had referred to Hasan as an extremist. He said,

"But all of us need to call it out, speaking about the New York Times doing a glossy profile a few weeks ago of this gamer, Hasan Piker, who regularly employs awful genocidal rhetoric against Jewish people and the Jewish state.''

He continued:

''Like, extremists should not be empowered. People who spout prejudice should not be platformed. This is a moment we need to look ourselves in the mirror and say, 'We got to stop this because of consequences are deadly.''

HasanAbi then responded to Jonathan's comments in his stream. He said,

"I think this is like, not only defamation against me, but I think it's also defamation against the New York Times, too. Because they also wrote my dehumanizing anti-Semitic sentiment.''

He continued:

''Of course, they wrote it in the most New York Times way possible, but they put it in the record where they said I accused Israel of doing a genocide. You know? Because if that's his f**king framework... 'Did you know that was coming?' Yeah, I saw it this morning. It is defamation. He is a f**king slanderous piece of s**t."

Recently, on May 22, the prominent political streamer, Dan Saltman, also took a dig at Hasan Piker. He posted a clip of Hasan streaming and calling the actions of the suspect involved in the shooting 'genuine.' In that stream, HasanAbi was saying:

"Every single thing that he did in the aftermath of the shooting is so f**king crazy that it's like... You could not have f**king designed an incident like this. You could not have designed a better false flag incident like this. I'm not saying it is a false flag incident at all. I'm not saying that. I think this is just one dude who is genuine in his actions, and maybe, you know, a little bit brainbroken. Okay?"

Dan responded to this by saying,

''Hasan Piker, Star of @amazon's @twitch says that the attack sure looks like a perfect false flag (wink wink nudge nudge)

"The guy was genuine with his actions!"

How fucking absolutely gross it is, that this is currently being streamed, right now, to 40,000 people.''

Dan has been quite vocal with his political views and criticizes Twitch and Amazon for not taking action against streamers like Hasan Piker, who, according to him, spread antisemitic content on the platform.
