Socialist Twitch star Hasan Piker raises $1 million for Palestinian aid

Leftist commentator Hasan Piker raised more than $1 million for Palestinian medical relief in a matter of days through a Twitch campaign. “I’m incredibly proud of you guys,” Piker told his fans as the donations poured in. More than 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers have died since Hamas launched a surprise attack on Oct 7. Retaliatory strikes from Israel have killed more than 4,000 Palestinians and injured thousands more, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
