Jackson Hinkle (born September 15, 1999) [7] is an American political commentator and influencer [8] who hosts the web television show Legitimate Targets with Jackson Hinkle on X (formerly Twitter). He is known for his support of Vladimir Putin in the Russo-Ukrainian War, [13] and for his opposition to Israel in the Gaza–Israel conflict. [16] Hinkle has dubbed himself an "American Conservative Marxist–Leninist", [17] while journalists have described him as conservative, [18] [19] right-wing, [11] [20] and far-right. [15] [21] Promoting a syncretic mix of conservative and communist ideas, he is a self-described proponent of "MAGA communism", calling on those who support the working class to ally with the MAGA movement against an alleged globalist threat. [22] [23] Initially an environmentalist during his high school years, [24] Hinkle has turned to promoting pro-fossil fuels stances in recent years. [17]
Journalists and fact checkers like Bellingcat have said that Hinkle has spread disinformation [26] and conspiracy theories. [28] He has been banned from a number of social media networks on grounds of disinformation. [21] His show, The Dive with Jackson Hinkle, was banned from Twitch for violating misinformation policies and propagating disinformation about the war in Ukraine, motivating its move to Rumble. [15] [17] Since the start of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, his posts on X attracted virality, [15] with some described as disinformation in the war. [30] His posts and commentary have been cited by Russian and Iranian state media, [33] and he has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight , One America News Network, [22] and RT. [15]
Hinkle was born in 1999 in San Clemente, California, [34] [35] where he also attended public schools, graduating from the San Clemente High School in 2018. [36] [37] He was an active member of his middle school's surf club, which made him familiar with the impact of plastic pollution and became the catalyst for his entry into activism. He became active in anti-plastic pollution movements at the age of 17, [24] [38] [36] [1] founding the Team Zissou Environmental Organization (named after the protagonist of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ), which engaged in environmental lobbying and organized volunteer beach cleanups in Orange County. [1] [39] [ verify ]
In 2017, Hinkle became Water Ambassador for The Water Effect at The Ecology Center, [40] and was named one of "The 17 Most Inspirational Kids of 2017" by Reader's Digest , [41] with him also being covered in Teen Vogue as one of eight young environmentalists "working to save the earth" that same year. [17] In 2018, Hinkle went to Washington, D.C. with representatives of nuclear safety advocacy group San Clemente Green. He spoke at a congressional briefing on the subject of safely dealing with decommissioned nuclear plants, and met with congressional members, [1] [42] an event covered by the Los Angeles Times , where Gary Headrick, the San Clemente Green founder, told the paper about Hinkle: "He's the kind of guy who gives you hope about the future. It's hard to find young people who take these things seriously, but Jackson is fearless and well-informed." [17] That same year, Hinkle attended Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California, to pursue political science. [43] [44] [5]
Hinkle began his political activism in the late 2010s, running in a San Clemente city council special election in 2019 a year after graduating from high school. [45] [46] During this campaign, which was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, [47] he advocated that the city of San Clemente have its own police department, he "categorically and unconditionally" opposed the legalization of prostitution, and proposed combating the presence and effect of nuclear waste in the area. [46] Hinkle ultimately lost the election. [48] In 2020, Hinkle launched the political show The Dive with Jackson Hinkle on YouTube, on which he reached 300,000 subscribers by 2023, [49] later expanding to Twitch. [50] The show moved to Rumble, when he was banned from YouTube and Twitch for "harmful misinformation" related to the war in Ukraine. [15] [9]
On February 4, 2021, Hinkle announced on Twitter that he had joined the People's Party. [4]
In October 2022, Hinkle and fellow Twitch streamer Haz Al-Din went to Twitchcon, where they filmed themselves "harassing seemingly random attendees" and mocked topics like COVID-19 face masking, support for Ukraine, and calls for online content moderation. [22] A few days later, the two were joined by "Dark MAGA" streamer Jon Zherka in their attempts to engage with UCLA students on campus. [22]
In June 2023, Hinkle spoke at the Rage Against the War Machine rally in Washington, D.C., which included the involvement of the Libertarian Party, the People's Party, and the far-right conspiratorial LaRouche movement, among others, amplifying Russian disinformation narratives and demanding an end to Western support for Ukraine and to NATO's existence. At the rally, Hinkle expressed support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. [18] [51] [ better source needed ] [52]
In February 2024, [53] Hinkle appeared on NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo's podcast, being described as at the forefront of "political thought in the country" for the next-generation, and according to Medialite, advocated for "cessation of all American aid to Israel". Cuomo defended his interview with Hinkle saying "It is clearly untrue that I have ever, or would ever, give any deference to any kind of anti-semitism." [54]
In March 2024, Hinkle began posting on Weibo following a collaboration with Guancha and Fudan University's China Institute. [23]
In July 2024, Hinkle participated in a Russian sponsored press briefing at the United Nations, during which he talked about the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine he visited. [55]
On July 21, 2024, Hinkle announced the launch of the American Communist Party (ACP), [3] a political party where he serves on the Plenary Council. [56] The party describes itself as "[a] reconstitution of the Communist Party USA." [56] Hinkle had previously stated that he had been expelled from the Communist Party USA, though his membership in the party was disputed by party officials. [5] In November 2024, the ACP won its first partisan election when Chris Helali, the party's international secretary, was elected high bailiff of Orange County, Vermont. [57]
On October 7, 2024, Hinkle launched a new political show, Legitimate Targets with Jackson Hinkle, interviewing representatives from the Houthi movement, [58] which is designated by the United States as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. [59] [ third-party source needed ]
Hinkle has a history of publishing misinformation, [9] [19] disinformation, [15] [25] and conspiracy theories, [21] [27] [60] [10] and The Dive with Jackson Hinkle has also been a source of controversy. [61] [62] [63] In April 2022, the Tech Transparency Project stated that the show was peddling "Putin propaganda" in violation of the site rules of Twitch, where the show was hosted on. [50] The show violated the three new policies outlined by Twitch, namely "(1) persistently sharing (2) widely disproven and broadly shared (3) harmful misinformation topics, such as conspiracies that promote violence." [50] The show was eventually taken off Twitch and YouTube for misinformation about the war in Ukraine. [15] [17] Hinkle also has a history of posting pro-Russian and far-right commentary. [63]
Since being deplatformed, Hinkle has attracted attention for his tweets regarding the Israel–Hamas war, gaining 1.4 million followers on X by October 2023, [31] and has been labeled by The Jewish Chronicle as one of the "most viral misinformation spreaders" in regards to the conflict. [17] Grouped as part of an online reactionary and paid clout-chasers for leveraging pro-Palestine views, he once proclaimed: "I do everything for the clout, you will never see me do something not for the clout." [27] Chinese state media outlet The Paper called Hinkle a "spreader of false information", although some advocates close to the Chinese Communist Party have promoted him. [23]
Hinkle's tweeting style has come into question, with much of it being criticized as misinformation as well as misleading. His posts have been cited and referenced repeatedly by Russian and Iranian state-affiliated media. [12] [27] [64] For example, the Russian news outlet Lenta.ru used a headline quoting Hinkle's suggestion that the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive be labeled as a suicide mission. [65] In the wake of the Israel–Hamas conflict, Hinkle was deplatformed from YouTube, [12] calling himself the "most censored man on YouTube", [11] as well as the "most viral worldwide". [27] With posts reaching over 20 million views as of November 2023, [14] Hinkle reached 2 million followers on X, [15] [66] where he offers a premium subscription to those wanting to help him "DEFEAT THE ZIONIST LIES". [17] In August 2023, Bloomberg reported that Hinkle had requested antisemitic AI-generated images of "satanic George Soros" using a tool called Midjourney, [9] which a study found to be easy to generate racist and conspiratorial images. [67] A Bloomberg article in November 2023 about misinformation on X said Hinkle was "known for spreading antisemitic hate speech in the past". [9] The ADL identified him as one of five key far right influencers on X who had used the conflict to gain an audience, whose combined follower count increased by over 1070% in the period, Hinkle reaching over 2.6 million in late 2023. [68]
A graphic image from the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel was shared on X by Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro. Hinkle subsequently claimed that the image was fake due to an inaccurate AI detector classification; however, the image was not determined to be fake by other AI detectors according to DW fact-checkers. [14] Hinkle also falsely claimed on X that Haaretz had reported that the Israeli government inflated the death toll for the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. [66] [nb 1] Haaretz quoted the post in a tweet and said that Hinkle's post "contain[ed] blatant lies" and was not substantiated by their reporting on the attack. [69] [70]
In October 2023, Hinkle shared a fake news release stating that the United States was sending billions of dollars in aid to Israel. [8] He also published fake news on the arrival of the United States Marines in Israel, using an image from July 2022 in Romania that was unrelated to Israel. [71] Hinkle followed up by falsely claiming that Iran had declared war on Israel and that Yemen had announced they were at war with Israel. [15] [72] [73] Before deleting his post, Hinkle also claimed that video footage showed Israel bombing hospitals; however, the footage instead showed an infirmary in Aleppo dated to 2016. [21] [74] He has also misled his audience after posting an old video from 2018 of a three-year old being detained by border police in Hebron, in the southern West Bank, receiving over one million views. [63] On November 12, 2023, Hinkle posted on X a photo of a woman near a demolished building, with the caption: "You CANNOT BREAK the Palestinian spirit." [19] Fact checking discovered that the captioned photo, which showed a woman stepping down the stairs of a demolished building, was not from Palestine but from Syria, and had been submitted in 2020 for the Siena International Photo Awards. [19] [21]
In December 2023, Hinkle called for a boycott of the video game Grand Theft Auto VI , linking the game to Zionism. Vice disputed the game's links to Zionism and described them as a conspiracy theory. [20]
In July 2024, Hinkle was noted as one of the main social media influencers sharing a fake story about Olena Zelenska, the First Lady of Ukraine, purchasing an expensive Bugatti. [75]
Hinkle has been variously described as far-right, [15] [21] right-wing, [11] [20] a conservative, [18] [19] "pro-Trump", [76] [77] a "former Bernie Bro", [78] "avowedly progressive", [6] and an "extreme left-wing ideologue"; [5] primarily as a social media influencer, [19] [29] [15] and political commentator, [18] [11] [73] as well as an Internet troll, [20] and YouTuber. Hinkle describes himself as an "American Conservative Marxist–Leninist", [17] as a Stalinist and Maoist, [5] and as a "MAGA Communist". [52] [79] Hinkle has also been described as a pro-Russia operative, [11] [80] and grouped as part of the anti-Israel far-right. [31] Emanuele Ottolenghi and Marina Rosenberg, respectively the Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Senior Vice President for International Affairs at the Anti-Defamation League, wrote that Hinkle is a "known conspiracy theorist, and a staunch admirer of Russia's Vladimir Putin and Syria's Bashar al-Assad; he has denied China's repression of its Uyghur minority as well as the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons against its own people." [12] Hinkle has referred to al-Assad as a hero [21] and has professed admiration for Joseph Stalin. [81] Russian-American journalist Cathy Young described Hinkle as a "ragebait-monetizing 'MAGA communist' troll". [79]
Hinkle has been described as vocally pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine. [76] [11] [77] He tweeted that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is "responsible for every death in the Ukraine war" and shared posts on Instagram that praised Putin. [11] [82] According to Euromaidan Press , Hinkle claimed that Zelenskyy is a dictator who was building a "fascist, dystopian state" in Ukraine, [83] and newspaper Türkiye wrote that he believed the president would suffer the same fate as Osama bin Laden. [84] He has urged the Republican Party (GOP) to reject Zionism, and called for MAGA-aligned GOP Representative Jim Jordan to focus on American domestic issues rather than backing additional military aid to Israel. [85] The 2023 Israel–Hamas war also showed a division within the MAGA movement, with Hinkle criticizing the likes of conservative pundit Ben Shapiro and Trumpist activist Laura Loomer for supporting Israel. [86] [85] Hinkle has been accused by some elements of the MAGA movement of promoting anti-white racism due to his support of South African black nationalist and communist politician Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party. [87] Hinkle dubbed the firing of pro-Trump conservative-populist pundit Tucker Carlson as the "end of an era". [88]
In late 2022, Hinkle began advocating for the idea of "MAGA communism", leading it to trend on Twitter. Vice described it as a "swirl of social conservatism, patriotism and subversive energy", and described Hinkle as coming from "the far-right entertainment playbook by agitating on livestreams". [22] Hinkle and other supporters of the idea argued that those who care about the working class should ally with the MAGA movement, which they considered to be the largest anti-establishment populist movement in the United States, to incite a populist revolution. MAGA communists criticized liberal identity politics, denounced American imperialism, and dismissed climate change efforts as "virtue-signaling" and "green fascism". Interviewed by One America News Network host Addison Smith in September 2022, Hinkle echoed conspiracy theories about George Soros, saying: "Communism and Marxism historically have been conservative. It's a new era in the West that made it adhere to liberal-leftist values. This is not true Marxism. It's Marxism funded by George Soros. They don't want communists, left-wing populists, right-wing populists, uniting on common issues to fight the deep state." [22] Hinkle was questioned on whether he actually supported communism; he said that the United States can learn from the Soviet Union and Communist China, that Marxism–Leninism has historically been conservative, and that what he described as modern communism's "liberal-leftist values" are a perversion "funded by George Soros". [22]
Observers and left-wing critics have described "MAGA communism" as an alt-right ideology which seeks to combine aspects of "authoritarian MAGA" with "tankie communism", eschew communism's leftist values, and co-opt socialism. [22] [89] "MAGA communism" has been described as lacking ideological consistency and focusing its appeal to people disillusioned with modern American liberalism. [22] Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks said of "MAGA communism": "We should be careful [when discussing MAGA communism], because when you think of Nazis and fascists and how they brought people over to their sides. They co-opted socialist rhetoric to bring people in, and then their 'populist' movement was what? Extermination." [22] Progressive commentator Sam Seder, who had a debate with Hinkle, said of an interview Hinkle gave about "MAGA communism": "This is such a word salad that I can't follow what the hell he's talking about." [22]
Daniel HoSang, a professor at Yale University and an expert on modern American right-wing movements, told Motherboard that "it doesn't necessarily mean communism in the literal sense of, say, demanding collective ownership. I think it's meant to be a kind of cultural invocation—a defense from that which the elites want you to believe. It suggests something about how people's political moorings are unsettled, and the search to find new bearings." [22] Brian Hughes, the associate director of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL) at American University, said: "Various figures are trying to take advantage of the moment. Skull-mask [neo-fascist] [90] networks, and accelerationist networks more broadly, have been juicing MAGA Communism because they like to inhabit odd, esoteric subcultures. They're smaller, and easier to exploit. It helps that MAGA Communism has little ideological consistency, and can vibe with people who want to be edgy, on the political fringe." [22] Hinkle's movement has also been placed within the context of an American conservatism that, in the words of Democratic Party strategist David Shor, was getting "really very weird", with The New Republic describing it as a movement that "combined American nationalism with praise for another authoritarian leader despised by most Americans, China's Xi Jinping." [91] [92]
Hinkle is a Christian. [93] He was engaged to Miss Russia 2022 Anna Linnikova and they lived together in Miami, [94] but the couple reportedly separated in December 2023. [95]

The Gaza–Israel conflict is a localized part of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict beginning in 1948, when 200,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes, settling in the Gaza Strip as refugees. Since then, Israel has been involved in about 15 wars involving organizations in the Gaza Strip. The number of Gazans reportedly killed in the ongoing 2023–2024 war (37,000) is higher than the death toll of all other wars of the Arab–Israeli conflict.
The State of Israel is represented in the Russian Federation through an embassy in Moscow and a consulate-general in Saint Petersburg. Russia is represented in Israel through an embassy in Tel Aviv and a consulate in Haifa. Russia is a member of the Quartet on the Middle East. For many years, Israel was a haven for Russian Jews. This was especially the case during the aliyah from the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1990s. Israel and the Soviet Union, Russia's predecessor state, were on opposing sides during the Cold War. However, the relationship between Israel and Russia has improved significantly since the early 2000s, with the election of the more pro-Israel Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and the election of the more pro-Russia Israeli leader Ariel Sharon. Putin has had a close relationship with long-serving Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The bilateral relations between the State of Palestine and Russia have a complex history, deeply interwoven with Russian and Soviet relations with the Israeli enterprise, Palestinian nationalism, and Third World national liberation movements. Between 1956 and 1990, Soviet–Palestinian relations were part of the then-ongoing Soviet–American confrontation.

On 7 October 2023, a large escalation of the Gaza–Israel conflict began with a coordinated offensive by multiple Palestinian militant groups against Israel. A number of countries, including many of Israel's Western allies, such as the United States and a number of European countries, condemned the attacks by Hamas, expressed solidarity for Israel and stated that Israel has a right to defend itself from armed attacks, while countries of the Muslim world have expressed support for the Palestinians, blaming the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories as being the root cause for the escalation of violence. The events prompted several world leaders to announce their intention to visit Israel, including US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Jackson Hinkle, a far-right and pro-Trump social media influencer, has repeatedly spread falsehoods about high-profile global conflicts. He was previously banned from Amazon's Twitch streaming site and the Google-owned video platform YouTube for spreading misinformation about the war in Ukraine, and he has frequently posted about his support of Russia and Vladimir Putin. In August, Bloomberg reported on Hinkle requesting antisemitic, AI-generated images from a tool called Midjourney...... In late October, he made the extraordinary claim that Israel had lied about the Oct. 7 attacks, citing the reporting of Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which swiftly debunked the lie.
Hinkle has become a leading figure in that strange, social media-based netherworld of conspiracy theorists who have moved seamlessly from raging (or rather fomenting rage) about Covid vaccines, to raging about U.S. support for Ukraine, to now raging about the war in Gaza.
The controversial anti-Israeli influencer Jackson Hinkle then claimed that the image had been created using artificial intelligence.
Hinkle's recent tweets include a photograph of him with a poster saying "Putin is good" and accusing the BBC of espousing "Zionist propaganda". His agenda is stridently anti-Israel.
By the time he was seventeen, Jackson Hinkle of San Clemente, California, was taking action against plastic waste. He was a surfer, so he knew about the problem of plastic pollution in the ocean. As he learned more about water and the harms being done to it, he discovered that companies that sell bottled waters are draining the local water sources of people around the world. He also learned that some plastic bottles can be a health risk as well as a waste problem.

加州聖克利門蒂市( San Clemente )的傑克森·辛克爾( Jackson Hinkle )從十七歲就開始了反對塑膠垃圾的行動。他是一個衝浪者,所以他瞭解海洋中的塑膠汙染問題。隨著他對於水以及人對水的傷害有了更多的瞭解,奧爾多·利奥波德與瑞秋·卡森透過他們的暢銷書鼓舞了環保主義者。今天一些年輕運動者也寫書,但是他們也靠遊行、俱樂部、社交媒體和網際網路來傳播他們的訊息與鼓舞人們。 o 二十一世紀的年輕環保主義者.[Jackson Hinkle of San Clemente, California, has been campaigning against plastic waste since he was 17 years old. He's a surfer, so he understands the problem of plastic pollution in the ocean. As he learned more about water and the harm people do to it, Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson inspired environmentalists through their best-selling books. Some young activists today also write books, but they also rely on marches, clubs, social media and the Internet to spread their message and inspire people.

Des personnalités comme Jackson Hinkle ou Eva Bartlett, qui font partie du top 10 des 'influenceurs' non russes à soutenir Moscou, d'après l'Institute for Strategic Dialogue, y discutent du 'déclin inévitable de l'Occident' ou encore de la manière dont les Etats-Unis utilisent l'Ukraine pour s'attaquer à la Russie.[Personalities like Jackson Hinkle or Eva Bartlett, who are among the top 10 non-Russian "influencers" to support Moscow, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, discuss the "inevitable decline of the West" or even how the United States uses Ukraine to attack Russia.]
What do such figures mean by 'working class'? 'Racists,' says one prominent #MAGACommunist, Jackson Hinkle, 'hate me because I'm white.' He has 2 million Twitter followers. This October, numerous leftists warned that Hinkle was among the far-right actors opportunistically promoting the Palestinian cause to further their reach—he gained roughly 1.6 million of his followers in the first weeks of the war—and achieve their own, deeply different goals.
