Former Hamas hostage counters Hasan Piker’s UT Austin event with her story of survival

Controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker made waves with his visit to the University of Texas at Austin before he even made it into the Lone Star State. 

While he was speaking at an event last week hosted by University Democrats, a student group, another speaker with a much different point of view was telling her story of survival. Former Hamas hostage Maya Regev spoke to students with the goal of ensuring that they hear from someone who witnessed the horrors of Oct. 7, 2023, firsthand.
