Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur were scheduled to speak at SXSW London but had their UK entry barred. Piker and Uygur attributed the decisions to their criticism of Israel's Gaza operations, while UK authorities cited public order risks. The Anti-Defamation League and UK's Jewish Leadership Council had previously accused Piker of antisemitism and justifying Hamas actions.

How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

UK visa decisions reflect deference to pro-Israel lobbying that suppresses criticism of Gaza policy by equating it with threats to public order.

“Weaponization of antisemitism claims to limit debate on Palestinian casualties and Western complicity”

Conservative

The UK properly exercised sovereign authority to exclude individuals whose rhetoric risks amplifying antisemitism and pro-terror sympathies amid existing domestic tensions.

“Consistency in applying public-order standards across political spectrum rather than evidence of external dictation”

Libertarian

Visa revocations illustrate state restriction of movement and speech based on political content, prioritizing collective sensitivities over individual liberty.

“Border controls used for ideological conformity instead of direct criminal threats”

Devil's Advocate

All framings over-rely on unverified claims about the exact rationale and overlook the lack of disclosed evidence or alternative factors in the decisions.

“Ordinary immigration criteria applied amid heightened tensions without requiring foreign influence or antisemitism weaponization”
