Braden Peters, better known as Clavicular, traveled to Tel Aviv after a friend invited him along to DJ at a wedding. He turned the trip into what he described as a promotional tour for a country that rarely gets positive coverage on social media. It did not go as planned.
The visit quickly unraveled. Israeli commentators condemned Clavicular’s past associations with anti-semites, pointing to the Miami nightclub incident in which Kanye West’s song “Heil H*tler” was played while he and others, including Nick Fuentes, were present.
A fabricated photo of Clavicular alongside Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir spread widely online, racking up millions of views before being debunked. An IDF soldier named Shira Braun was removed from her position in the military’s international communications division and handed a suspended jail sentence for appearing in a broadcast alongside him.
Israeli news channel i24 put it plainly: “The visit of the anti-Semitic blogger Clavicular has come to an end, but the consequences are still being felt in Israel.”
Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored to address the fallout, Clavicular defended the trip by pointing to a 13-hour raw uncut live broadcast he did in Tel Aviv, which he said showed aspects of the country that rarely get airtime. Morgan was skeptical, suggesting the trip presented a “sanitized” view of Israel that skipped over ongoing military conflicts in Gaza and southern Lebanon.
Clavicular was not apologetic: “I prefer the term blissful ignorance because it allowed me to go and have a great time without a care in the world really.”
When Morgan raised the possibility that he had been used as a propaganda tool by the Israeli government, Clavicular conceded the argument had some logic.
“Yeah, no, I can totally see that and the criticism makes sense, right? Because we didn’t go to any of the controversial places like Gaza.” He maintained, however, that investigating conflict zones is a journalist’s job, not a 20-year-old content creator’s.
A separate incident added more friction. When an Israeli television interviewer pressed him on whether he would apologize for the H*tler video incident from Miami, Clavicular walked out of the interview. He told Morgan afterward, “I’ve said all I have to say about that.”
He also denied reports that he had been forcibly removed from a Tel Aviv club, calling the story “complete propaganda” and attributing the confrontation to a licensing disagreement involving his personal security team.
Morgan summed up the broader pattern with a pointed label: “warcr*me maxxing.” Clavicular pushed back only mildly, telling Morgan, “I’m views maxxing at the end of the day,” and confirming that Russia is the next destination on his list.
