Sneako, whose real name is Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, built an enormous following online, especially among young male viewers, through his controversial reactions to online content, leaning hard on the “red pill” and “manosphere” ideologies (i.e., the extreme fringes of the right wing).

In a blood-boiling video posted to social media Thursday, Sneako confronted a teenage youth and his father who were visiting from Israel, where his hatred and scorn of Israelis were on full display.

The boy and his father approached Sneako to say hi, and as soon as he found out they’re from Israel, he hounded them on the supposed genocide that Israel is committing. The pair were obviously stunned and unprepared for the deluge of anti-Israel talking points Sneako flung at them, accusing them of benefiting from Israel’s “genocide” and raising the issue of Itamar Ben-Gvir, a highly controversial and polarizing figure even within Israel.

When the 14-year-old and his dad tried to defend themselves, the popular streamer kept interrupting and talking over them. He said that if they want to deny the genocide, then others should be able to deny the Holocaust, which the dad said they do, in fact. But Sneako didn’t let him finish his point, holding up a long Palestine flag banner and starting the crowd in a chant of “Free Palestine” to drown him out.

Defeated, the father and son walked away, and Sneako fired his parting shot:

“We kicked them out of this land, the same way they kicked the Palestinians out of that land,” he told his crowd of fans.

“Walk away!” he sneered at the duo as they left.

Sneako is no stranger to accusations of antisemitism.

Last January, he joined a group of influencers in chanting Nazi slogans while listening to a song called “Heil Hitler.” On his livestreams, he has defended Hitler and said, “Down with the Jews!” In June 2025, he drew fire for stating that “Israel is not compatible with Western civilization.” And last May, even Australia, where antisemitism has spiked sharply in recent years, imposed a lifetime ban on the antisemitic media personality.
