\u201cWe thought maybe he was a big influencer supporting Israel,\u201d Morali told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. \u201cBut we very quickly understood that he wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peters was soon asked to leave the club. But elsewhere along the Tel Aviv beach, Clavicular has received a warm reception. Even though he is closely associated with an online ecosystem steeped in antisemitism, a number of pro-Israel and Jewish influencers have enthusiastically filmed content with him in Israel, and crowds of young Israelis have gathered around him as he livestreams from beaches and nightclubs.<\/p>\n
The welcome has bewildered many of Peters\u2019 own followers. His livestreams from Israel have been filled with comments accusing him of selling out, urging him to \u201ckiss the wall,\u201d a reference to the Western Wall that has become a taunt in some far-right online circles, and mocking him for embracing Israel.<\/p>\n

In addition to becoming well known for his efforts to optimize his physical appearance, Peters drew attention in January when he was part of a group at Miami\u2019s Vend\u00f4me nightclub, including Fuentes and the manosphere influencers Sneako and Andrew Tate, singing along to \u2018Heil Hitler,\u2019 the Ye song that samples a speech by Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n
Amid a backlash, Peters doubled down. \u201cI am not sorry. I don\u2019t apologize for what I did,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cI would do it again today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, Clavicular\u2019s visit to Tel Aviv has raised questions about why he was admitted to Israel given the country\u2019s recent record of denying entry to right- and left-wing figures with records of antisemitic and anti-Israel activity. The Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism declined to comment about Clavicular\u2019s entry into Israel.<\/p>\n
It has also exposed a divide in the pro-Israel influencer community. Some influencers have sought to partner with Clavicular to film content, attempting to springboard into his vast audience and taking pride in his presence at a time when Israel is widely seen as a pariah. Others have decried his presence, his content objectifying Israeli women and the readiness of fellow Jews to overlook his antisemitic activity.<\/p>\n
Orthodox Jewish influencer Golda Daphna posted a series of Instagram videos criticizing Peters during his visit. In one video, she played a recording in which Peters, after being shown a photo of an Israeli woman, says, \u201cDoes she want to have sex? Just tell the girls I\u2019m looking to have sex in a bathroom.\u201d In another post, Daphna criticized fellow pro-Israel influencers who collaborated with him, writing, \u201cWhoever gives this behavior a platform, in my opinion, has ended their career.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eden Sisson, another influencer involved in hasbara, or public diplomacy on Israel\u2019s behalf, similarly urged Israeli women not to appear in Peters\u2019 videos. \u201cDon\u2019t give him the attention he\u2019s looking for. If he approaches you with a camera, think twice before participating,\u201d she wrote. Referring to his past use of Nazi slogans and symbols, she added, \u201cSomeone who has chosen to use Nazi slogans and symbols in the past does not deserve your trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
The influencer Hallel Abramowitz-Silverman, writing in the Jerusalem Post<\/a>, denounced what she said was \u201ca growing culture within parts of Israel\u2019s advocacy and creator community that mistakes influence for integrity.\u201d She added, \u201cSomewhere along the way, we started believing that if someone has enough followers, we should be grateful they\u2019re willing to talk to us at all, even if they have spent years platforming hatred, extremism, or misogyny.\u201d<\/p>\n Peters could not be reached for comment via multiple channels and multiple attempts by JTA. He told The Free Press that he had come to Israel because it was \u201cunexplored territory\u201d for major influencers, few of whom have broadcast from the country, which he said was \u201cviral.\u201d<\/p>\n Among those willing to engage with Peters was Rabbi Yossi Farro, who has built a large social media following by wrapping tefillin on celebrities and what he calls \u201cpowerful Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n ‘ChatGPT mogging David’<\/p>\n Farro met Peters for lunch at the Royal Beach Hotel in Tel Aviv and later posted a video presenting him with a necklace combining the OpenAI logo and a Star of David, joking that it amounted to \u201cChatGPT mogging David,\u201d using internet slang meaning to outshine or dominate someone. Farro later wrote that Peters was \u201cloving Israel and Israel is loving him.\u201d<\/p>\n Farro did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Shira Braun, an influencer whose bio says she is \u201crepresenting Jewish & Israeli women,\u201d appeared in videos with Clavicular in which she was presented as his girlfriend. She said she had received death threats as a result.<\/p>\n Their collaborations with Peters drew swift criticism from other pro-Israel creators, who argued that collaborating with someone associated with antisemitism risked legitimizing him while exposing Israelis to manipulation.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he approaches you with a camera, think twice before participating,\u201d Channel 12 personality Hagar Amgar warned on Instagram. \u201cA few seconds of footage can be edited, taken out of context, and shared with millions of people.\u201d<\/p>\n Some prominent advocates went further. Yoseph Haddad, the Arab Israeli activist and influencer, called for Peters to be deported.<\/p>\n
