ArabCon Audience Giggles at This Question: "Do You Condemn October 7th?" | WATCH
Outrage erupted after footage of laughter at an ArabCon panel touched a raw nerve, with critics calling it “ghoulish” in light of October 7. Conservative figures and strategists piled on, blasting Rep. Ro Khanna’s presence and fueling a wider debate about pro-Palestinian activism, American politics, and the fault lines within the conservative movement.
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."
Smith didn't mince words, calling the reaction "ghoulish" in light of the house-to-house butchery that defined that fateful day.
But wait, there's a congressional cameo in this mess. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, known for his progressive stances, took the stage at the same event.
Enter conservative firebrand Laura Loomer, who torched him online for rubbing elbows at what she dubbed a "pro-jihad conference."
Critics like political strategist Yossi Gestetner piled on, tying the laughter to wider rifts in American conservatism, even dragging in names like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly for their perceived soft spots on similar issues.
One X user summed it up bluntly: This tells you "everything you need to know" about the crowd's vibe.
The backlash has been swift and savage, with voices on X arguing that such moments expose radicals not as fringes but as the main act in pro-Palestinian circles.
Demands for full video releases have popped up, urging folks to judge for themselves amid the outrage.
No word yet from ArabCon's organizers on the uproar, but in a polarized world where October 7th remains a raw nerve, this laughter isn't fading quietly.
