Controversial Streamer Visits Israel

This is Clavicular,

a 20- year- old American streamer,

who became one of the most controversial people on the internet.

Among other things,

he collaborated with antisemitic Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes,

and with misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate,

who is accused of rape and human trafficking.

Clavicular himself

was also recorded celebrating to Kanye West's song" Heil Hitler".

I met him for an interview at his hotel in Tel Aviv.

No one's wanted this trip to be anything more than, um, just us coming and,

and you know, streaming and showing off the city.

That's not what the trip was about.

The trip was just to have fun, for him to have fun,

maybe to learn a little bit about the Jewish culture,

but not to like fight anti- Semitism or make Hasbara.

Like, that's not what we're here for.

And also there's a lot of like

misrepresentation when you look up Israel on like TikTok, for example,

that it's like really dangerous and all this kind of stuff.

But in reality, it's uh, it's a very beautiful city.

We had a great time last night.

Uh, and uh, you know, the stream will reflect that as well.

And that's exactly what happened.

Anyone joining only this stream will see beaches, bars, nightlife,

enthusiastic fans,

and a Tel Aviv that looks beautiful and safe.

With almost no mention of the things that make Israel controversial worldwide.

This is probably the most successful PR video Israel has received this year.

It just came with gambling,

hard drugs, and degrading treatment of women.

But that wasn't the only moment that sparked interest. In one of the broadcasts,

a female soldier from the IDF Spokesperson's Unit also participated, and showed on

stream that she has access to the army's official social media account.

So who brought Clavicular to Israel? Who funded the visit?

And how do hundreds of clip editors turn his streams into a views and money machine?
