American streamer Braden Peters, known as "Clavicular," is leaving Israel earlier than planned after facing intense criticism during his visit. He claims Israeli media created antagonism despite his stated intention to show the country isn't dangerous.


American streamer and social media influencer Braden Peters, known as “Clavicular,” announced he’s leaving Israel today (Monday) after a visit lasting several days. The decision came after confrontations and criticism he faced during his time in the country. As he posted on his X account, his next destination is Russia—”if all goes well with my Visa.”

In a video he posted last night on the streaming site KICK, Peters claimed that despite his “good intentions” to show that Israel isn’t a “dangerous place,” the media tried to create antagonism against him even though he didn’t express a political position. “Most people who are Jewish in America don’t even wanna come to Israel because of how bad their public image is. They think it’s a war zone,” he said.

Peters’ visit sparked public outrage over the weekend after he arrived in Israel despite a history filled with controversial statements—including an incident that occurred just months ago. In footage from a Miami nightclub, Peters asked the DJ to play Kanye West’s banned song, “Heil Hitler,” which contains Nazi expressions and a recording of a Hitler speech. Though the song is banned from most platforms, Peters and his friends sang along without interference.

In an interview with The Free Press, Peters explained that his arrival in Israel wasn’t driven by political or ideological motives. Responding to criticism from his followers about the surprising visit, he said that even though they “don’t really like it,” he chose to come because it’s a viral idea that would bring views. “We came to have a good time. This is unexplored territory. It’s viral,” he explained, adding: “No one has streamed from Israel before, so why not?”
