Hateful Hasan Piker and extra: Letters to the Editor — April 19, 2026
Dems love hate
Hasan Piker believes that America deserved 9/11 and that Hamas is morally superior to Israel (“Loving a Hater,” T. Becket Adams, PostOpinion, April 16).
He’s merely saying bluntly what most Dems know they have to go along with to make sure they don’t alienate all their willfully ignorant followers who think that hating America, Jews and capitalism makes them cool.

Losing with Orbán
The defeat of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán was also a defeat for President Trump and Vladimir Putin, who supported his re-election (“Orbánish from Hungary,” April 13).
Years of corruption and economic destruction was enough for the people of Hungary. Putin doesn’t have to worry about an election — Trump does.

Last-mile safety
Your editorial on last-mile-delivery legislation was another version of the complaints corporate America rehashes anytime it’s held accountable (“Progressives’ War on Progress,” April 13).
The “delivery service partners” making up Amazon’s network aren’t true small businesses. They’re shell companies that exist to shield a $2 trillion corporation from legal liability and labor law compliance. This sham model has led to skyrocketing safety issues in the last-mile industry, harming workers and communities.
The Delivery Protection Act is the best way to protect the city and hold companies like Amazon accountable. It wouldn’t cause companies to relocate since it applies to all employers making deliveries in the five boroughs, even those operating from facilities outside city limits.
If there’s a party in this debate who wants to turn back the clock, it’s Amazon and its corporate allies putting profits first and New Yorkers last.

Correction frauds
I think the 11 correction cops who stole $228,000 in fraudulent time sheets shouldn’t only be fired from the job, but should also do some serious jail time (“NYC jailers busted in $220G pay scam,” April 16).
They’re a disgrace to the job. Most correction officers don’t cheat the system.

Break up H’wood?
Finally, something we can agree with Hollywood on: Competition is good (“H’wood rips WBD deal,” April 14).
The lack of opportunities will only increase with the formation of more mega-conglomerates like Paramount. It’s not healthy for the industries.
Not for nothing, we see the same actors again and again, getting paid millions for each role. Just like the fishing industry imposes limits, Hollywood should keep that in mind when actors negotiate contracts — leave enough behind to keep the industry sustainable.

NYPD does its job
An emotionally disturbed person claiming to be Lucifer slashed multiple people waiting for a train at Grand Central (“Slasher’s eerie religion fixation,” April 14).
The highly trained NYPD responded, and took justifiable deadly action against the man.
What would’ve happened if an unarmed social worker had been called to the scene to try to quell the situation? Mayor Mamdani, can you answer this question?
