Cenk Uygur's Doctor Prescribes Not Believing Lies About Israel

The pundit's risk of heat disease will wane substantially if he stops accepting as true the various libels of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.

Los Angeles, July 3 - A left-wing commentator whose physical size poses cardiac risks received sobering instructions from his physician, family sources reported today, in particular that the pundit's risk of heat disease will wane substantially if he stops accepting as true the various libels of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip and elsewhere, which figure prominently among the stimuli for his most blood-pressure-increasing rants.

Young Turks founder and political activist Cenk Uygur, 55, left the doctor's office with a prescription for not believing lies about Israel, according to several sources close to the podcaster. The last several days, specifically, have featured online tantrums from Uygur about genocide and other factual distortions, which prompted his physician to order a change in lifestyle, lest Uygur's cardiovascular system suffer from the combination of stress and his excess weight.

Uygur's rants about Israel and the alleged systematic killing of Palestinians by the Israeli military - none of which has any hard evidence - have increased, observers say, since the Jewish State began operations to reduce the threat from Iran and its proxy forces following the massacres of October 7, 2023 and the ongoing hostage crisis that it produced. But the frequency and intensity of the tantrums, preserved on YouTube and other platforms, grew after Israel conducted a 12-day air and commando campaign against Iran that decapitated the Islamic Republic's military leadership and set back its its nuclear weapons program by years, as well as destroyed Iran's air force and humiliated the repressive regime.

The rants built over time, Uygur's family and associates reported, following each decisive blow that Israel struck at its enemies. Especially worrisome, according to his nephew Hasan Piker, was the September 2024 airstrike that took out longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. That, combined with the cumulative failure of Iranian, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthi missiles to cause significant damage to Israel, despite decades of bluster, caused Uygur's blood pressure to spike into dangerous territory and prompted his loved ones to urge him to seek medical attention.

Clinical staff also reported hearing Uygur raise his voice at the doctor and accusing him of genocide denial, a position with which Uygur himself has no small degree of familiarity, given he once espoused denial of the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian Genocides of the Ottoman Empire, and the name of whose Young Turks invokes - he claims unintentionally - the very elements within that crumbling empire who incited those genocides.

Unconfirmed reports also had Uygur calling clinical staff "Zionists" for asking him to stop yelling.
