In March 2025, a contentious video by YouTuber Noah Samsen entitled The YouTubers Who Backed a Genocide surfaced, featuring prominent content creators H3H3 Productions’ Ethan Klein and Mutahar, also known as SomeOrdinaryGamers, in its thumbnail. Both creators expressed their discontent with their inclusion in the video and subsequently signaled the possibility of legal action. This response was further corroborated by a retraction letter issued by Klein and Mutahar.
The feud extends to Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan “HasanAbi”Piker, who has a history of online clashes with Klein grounded in their differing perspectives on Middle-Eastern politics. Piker has been an outspoken advocate for pro-Palestine sentiments, frequently challenging Klein’s political stance and public statements.
The Alliance of Views: Piker and Samsen
Given their shared ideologies regarding the conflict, Piker’s support for Samsen aligns naturally. Following the news about the retraction letter, HasanAbi took proactive steps by facilitating a connection between Samsen and his attorney:
“I linked my lawyer up with Noah.”
To provide clarity, a retraction or cease-and-desist letter serves as an official document intended to withdraw or correct a previous assertion, claim, or disclosure. In this instance, the focus is on Samsen’s video, which Klein and Mutahar are contesting with intentions of having it removed. HasanAbi weighed in on Klein’s motives, labeling them as “ridiculous”:
“Ethan was like, ‘how dare you make a YouTube video about me, I’m gonna sue you’, but he didn’t actually do that, he just sent him a cease and desist because I think, he also understands [that] this is ridiculous to do.”
Analyzing the Situation Surrounding the Controversial Video
HasanAbi elaborated further for those less informed about the incident, emphasizing the central role of Samsen’s original video in escalating the conflict:
“I don’t think what [Samsen is] in could be considered trouble; the irony of everything is that Ethan sent a cease and desist to Noah, for his YouTube video, where he details how Ethan Klein and many other content creators including Mutahar have played a role in defending the genocide, intentionally/unintentionally, doesn’t matter.”
In a follow-up discussion, TikTok creator Alex “LolOverruled,”who was present during HasanAbi’s remarks, voiced his perspective on the matter:
“I mean a cease and desist is a scare tactic… it doesn’t mean that there can’t be a further legal process behind that, obviously we live in the most litigious nation, probably in the world; they are meant to freak people out.”
Alex highlighted that while retraction letters often function as intimidation tools, they could potentially escalate into a more significant legal confrontation.
