CNN’s Anti-Israel “Comedian” Rages Against Israel – And It’s Not Funny

Daniel Pomerantz

CNN published a furious rage against Israel by Amer Zahr, whom the network describes as “a Palestinian-American comedian and adjunct professor at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.” But Zahr’s delusional tirade is far from funny.

Zahr was nominally responding to a Jason Greenblatt op-ed in support of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. But in fact, Zahr barely mentioned Trump at all, instead focusing his vitriol almost entirely on Israel.

Zahr’s “article” is merely a laundry list of lies, conspiracy theories and out-of-context “facts” that are popular among Israel-haters, but have long ago been proven untrue.

Fortunately, HonestReporting and other sources have already addressed many of the items on Zahr’s laundry list of lies.

Zahr begins with the well worn fairy-tale that upon its creation, Israel forcibly evicted large numbers of Palestinians from their homes.

In reality, Palestinians left their homes in 1948 for a number of reasons, but the vast majority left because Arab leaders encouraged them to: with the promise that once they had completely annihilated the new Jewish state, Palestinians would be free to return to their homes, and to a land free of Jews.
