While talking to IShowspeed, HasanAbi revealed that he had sent the YouTuber direct messages too, stating:

"Oh my God, listen, I DM'd you the other day to tell you how much I appreciate you. You are fantastic. I think you're doing a phenomenal job. I love your evolution. Obviously, free Palestine all the way."

IShowSpeed could then be heard responding in the affirmative to HasanAbi, stating:

HasanAbi is known to be an outspoken voice on the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, his political stance has been the source of much trouble for the creator, specifically after the Twitch streamer was labeled as being "the anti-Semitic voice of a systemically anti-Semitic platform" by U.S. Congressman Ritchie Torres in his Congressional letter to Twitch.

On the other side, IShowSpeed has repeatedly shown his support for Palestine by often using the slogan "Free Palestine" during his broadcasts from even before the October 7, 2023 escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Thus, it seems natural that HasanAbi took the opportunity to express his gratitude towards IShowSpeed for openly supporting the same cause as him.

Furthermore, HasanAbi also made a post on X, featuring IShowSpeed and a caption expressing support for the Palestine cause.


In June 2024, IShowSpeed participated in a challenge by YouTuber Jimmy "MrBeast", which involved him going up against Prime co-founder Olajide "KSI" in a Wipeout-themed livestream. After winning, IShowSpeed donated $50,000 to the Palestine Relief Fund out of his total winnings of $100,000.
