UK Jewish groups are demanding Britain deny entry to far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who has compared Zionists to Nazis and called Orthodox Jews “inbred,” the UK’s Jewish News reported Friday.

Piker, whose rising visibility in Democratic Party politics has troubled many US Jews, is scheduled to speak at the SXSW London festival on June 4 and record a live podcast with news outlet UnHerd in the UK capital on June 5.

The UK’s Jewish Leadership Council said inviting Piker amid recent terror attacks on British Jews was “dangerous” given the streamer’s sympathy for Hezbollah and Hamas and his denial of atrocities committed by Hamas in the onslaught of October 7, 2023.

“Hasan Piker should not be allowed to enter the UK to spread his 7 October denialism and apparent support for terrorist organizations to a British audience,” the JLC said in a statement quoted by the UK Jewish News.

“In a climate where Jews are being stabbed on the streets of London, this rhetoric is dangerous,” the JLC said. “This is not conducive to the public good and the government should ban him.”
