Picture this: A packed room at ArabCon, an Arab American conference in the heart of Michigan, where the air is thick with politics and passion. |
Adjunct law professor Amer Zahr from the University of Detroit Mercy steps up to the mic and drops what should be a somber question: “Do you condemn October 7th?” You know, the day in 2023 when Hamas terrorists stormed Israel, killing over 1,200 people, taking hostages, and unleashing horrors that still echo globally.
The response? Not solemn reflection or heated debate, but outright laughter from the panel and crowd.
Yeah, you read that right. Laughter. As if the atrocities were some late-night comedy bit.The video, captured and blasted across X by investigative analyst Stu Smith, shows the moment unfolding like a bad SNL skit, except this one's real and stinks to high heaven.
Right after the chuckles die down, San Francisco State University's Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi chimes in with a defiant twist: She slams Israel, the U.S., and "all oppression and imperial war," but makes it crystal clear she'll "never ever condemn Palestinian resistance and any resistance around the world."
The audience? They ate it up, with cheers reportedly following the refusal to denounce "armed resistance."
