Guy Christensen, a TikTok influencer with more than 3 million followers, came out in support of the shooting attack that killed two Israeli embassy employees.
I do not condemn the elimination of the Zionist officials who worked at the Israeli embassy last night, Christensen, a Gen-Z influencer who goes by YourFavoriteGuy on TikTok, said in a video posted Thursday.
I want to urge you first to support Elias actions, he added later, referencing the alleged shooter. He is not a terrorist. Hes a resistance fighter, and the fact is that the fight against Israels war machine, against their genocide machine, against their criminality, includes their foreign diplomats in this country.
The video represented a reversal for Christensen, who had earlier posted a video condemning the murders. The video supporting the attack later disappeared from TikTok and Instagram. He appeared to suggest that the platform had removed it: also tiktok banned my vid LOL, he wrote on a subsequent post.

We should treat it as such.

(2,121 posts)get so many followers? Seriously, why would anyone care what this teenage influencer thinks about one of the most intractable issues of our time? If this guy was Jewish or Palestinian and had spent some time in that part of the world, he might some credibility, but I dont know how anyone can take this annoying cherub with ringlets (who compares himself to Luke Skywalker) seriously.

(603 posts)Needs to divest from all these people. Not just divest but loudly speak out against them and make it known they are not welcome here.
He bashes the Democratic party too like a lot of people in this movement. I dont think he is one of us or will ever be - hes probably in the Susan Sarandon part of the political spectrum.

(3,460 posts)To me, divest means we had these people in our tent and are kicking them out on purpose. I dont think they ever were in the tent.

He also posted that he was happy that Biden got cancer and this was justice for Palestine.
He is pissing in our tent from the outside. Either Green Party, some other obscure party, or just an agitator.

(603 posts)However they are seen as being in our tent. We need to loudly condemn these people and let it be known they are not welcome here or anywhere. We can no longer worry about offending people.

(55,550 posts)This is true of many forms of bigotry. You and I both know how easy it is for some to dismiss homophobia when it is a hated target, such as Lindsey Graham. Some just can't help themselves and immediately attack him based on his alleged homosexuality, then claim it is not "really" homophobia, and when it is called out, the ones calling it out are called "defenders of Graham and MAGA". Does the pattern sound familiar?

Even if you believed attacking decision makers in the Israeli government would make a positive change for the Palestinians, shooting random people doesn't do that. Then there's that this sort of assassination doesn't usually work. Nobody should be supporting the killer or this influencer.
