LeafyIsHere triggers Islamophobia backlash with 'Nuke Israel' post, fans joke 'Suspension speed run again?'
Former controversial YouTuber Calvin Lee Vail, popularly known as LeafyIsHere, is under fire again. His recent potential Islamophobic post on X went viral, prompting immediate reactions from the followers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While some shared humor, others seemed to agree with his views on advocating extreme violence. A few followers even referenced his controversial past, welcoming him back into his true self. Known for pushing the boundaries with his provocative commentary, Vail's latest remarks are hateful and inflammatory. Here is all you need to know about it. LeafyIsHere new post draws attention, comments, and humor The latest controversy began with the shocking two-word post made by LeafyIsHere. The post reading 'Nuke Israel' immediately triggered outrage, with some calling it drastic and asking him to take a breather instead of supporting WW3. Some of Vail's followers even dismissed his comment with dark humor. A user on the post responded, "You do realise Israel has nukes too right? If anyone even tries to launch a nuke Israel will do the same." While another commented, 'Suspension speed run again?' referencing LeafyIsHere's history of platform bans. Some of his followers even laughed off with comments like, "That's fine, as long as it's in Minecraft :D." Some followers even seemed to be welcoming the controversial figure back to the online world. A comment showcasing it read, " Another leafy banger." With the post getting viral, not all were amused, though. It was clearly visible in one of the responses received by Vail on his post. It read, 'Worst choice ever, unless you want this whole planet to do, I suggest holding the nuclear option aside.. but I ain't taking no sides on this so whatever happens happens.' Just a few hours earlier, Leafy even engaged with the post from Iran Military Watch. The post, with the image of missile launches, read, "Operation True Promise III has officially entered its next phase." To it, Vail responded, "@israel they are about to shoot rockets at you," further amplifying concerns over the YouTuber's willingness to escalate the geopolitical tensions for some shock value. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It could even be interpreted as a hateful rhetoric that's targeting the Jewish state and amplifying the Islamophobic tropes. But the truth? None know but can only interpret, considering his past controversies and remarks. Exploring LeafyIsHere past controversies and patterns of provocation The recent controversy of LeafyIsHere is not an isolated event. He has been an active user on X and in 2023 he made a series of deeply offensive remarks targeting the LGBTQ+ community. Amidst these posts, some stated, "god hates gay people," "all gay people are pedophiles," and "fuck the lgbtq." Vail, with his comments, even targeted Israel. His posts were inflammatory and included, "fuck Israel," "im not praying for israel," and "escape from israel," among others. He even mocked some conspiracy theories, posting, "i am only talking about country they said they have proof of aliens - aliens are not real i do not believe them." All comments and posts made in this respect by LeafyIsHere, were homophobic and anti-Israel. They also establish a pattern of using hate speech to garner attention and provoke reactions. With it, the commentary on Israel done by Vail recently is not new. His history underscores the consistent strategy of inflammatory rhetoric, with current backlash just adding to the long record of controversies, leading to his suspensions from some major platforms like Twitch and YouTube. LeafyIsHere fans remain divided between support and shock While many condemned the posts of Vail, others celebrated the unfiltered style of his. A few comments read, "Love this leafy comeback," and "you never disappoint brother," supporting his style. Some, however, urged restraint, with a user simply commenting, "Alright chill out." There are also some of his followers who, given Vail's history of bans and suspension on platforms, are wondering if the latest outburst would lead to another crackdown on the platform. However, his account did get suspended before, with being reinstated many times, and the most recent such happening was in June 2025. With the debates raging over hate speech vs free speech, one thing that remains clear is that LeafyIsHere is not backing down, and neither are the critics. Will his recent posts finally get him banned for good or not by the moderation team of X? Only time will tell.

Beach Boys' Former Manager on Brian Wilson: ‘The Three Wilsons Are Finally Back Together'
Fred Vail, the former manager of the Beach Boys, spent a day in November with Brian Wilson at his home, giving him updates on Cows in the Pasture, the long-lost country album that Wilson produced with Vail on vocals. Vail, with producer Sam Parker, is gearing up to finally release Cows in the Pasture and had been collaborating with Wilson. On Wednesday, he was shocked to learn that his longtime friend had died. Wilson was 82. 'The three Wilsons are finally back together,' Vail, 81, tells Rolling Stone. Brian's bandmates and siblings in the Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson and Carl Wilson, died in 1983 and 1998, respectively. More from Rolling Stone Hear Neil Young Duet With the Beach Boys' Al Jardine Stan Love, NBA Player and Brian Wilson's Caretaker, Dead at 76 Al Jardine Is Going on Tour With Brian Wilson's Longtime Band 'Sixty-two years, that's how long we were buddies,' Vail says of his relationship with the visionary songwriter and producer. 'Some great memories, some great moments. They all fly back at me: meeting them at the old house in Hawthorne; sitting on the floor at Capitol, when he mastered Pet Sounds; at Columbia, when we recorded 'Good Vibrations'; and then all the shows at the auditorium in Sacramento that I emceed.' It's Vail's voice that introduces the Beach Boys' 1964 live album Beach Boys Concert — 'Now, from Hawthorne, California, to entertain you tonight with a gala concert and a recording session…the fabulous Beach Boys!' Recorded in 1963 at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California, the concert, which Vail promoted, landed him a job as the Beach Boys' manager, putting him front and center to witness key events in the group's history. 'I remember being with Brian the night that Kennedy was assassinated, when he and Mike [Love] wrote 'The Warmth of the Sun,'' Vail says. 'The world mourns a genius today, and we grieve for the loss of our cousin, our friend, and our partner in a great musical adventure,' the band wrote in a statement. 'Brian Wilson wasn't just the heart of the Beach Boys — he was the soul of our sound. The melodies he dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note changed the course of music forever. His unparalleled talent and unique spirit created the soundtrack of so many lives around the globe, including our own. Together, we gave the world the American dream of optimism, joy, and a sense of freedom — music that made people feel good, made them believe in summer and endless possibilities. 'We are heartbroken by his passing,' the group continued. 'We will continue to cherish the timeless music we made together and the joy he brought to millions over the decades. And while we will miss him deeply, his legacy will live on through his songs and in our memories.' When the childhood home of the Wilsons was designated a California landmark in 2004, Vail again emceed for his friend. 'When I introduced him, I said, 'If I was alive in the 1800s, I might have gotten a chance to work with Stephen Foster, and if I'd been alive in the first half of the 20th century, I might have gotten to work with Irving Berlin or Cole Porter,'' Vail says. 'But God had better things in store — I got to work with Brian Wilson.' Parker, who first met Vail in 2014 and is spearheading the Cows in the Pasture album and accompanying film project, says the magic of Wilson's music was that it spoke to everyone. 'It spoke to Fred and I, and it brought Fred and I together through our love of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson,' Parker says. 'I'm eternally grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside Fred and Brian in completing this album that these two best friends started 55 years ago.'
