Shock in the US: 'The antisemitic Palestinian' from Philadelphia exposed as a Jewish impostor

Hannah Gunn, a prominent pro-Palestinian activist from Philadelphia who presented herself as a Black Palestinian, was exposed by pro-Palestinian organizations as a white Jewish woman. The organizations cut ties with her due to "betrayal." Gunn apologized and admitted she lied about her background, but asked to continue listening to Palestinian voices.

Hannah Gunn, a teacher from Philadelphia and prominent pro-Palestinian activist, has been exposed as an impostor. For years, she presented herself as a Black Palestinian, claiming her grandfather was born in Palestine and sending money to relatives in the territories. Two pro-Palestinian organizations, RJOC and PEFP, exposed her lies and announced they were cutting ties with her, noting the deep damage caused to the Palestinian and Black communities. Gunn published an apology, admitted she lied, but argued that this should not distract from the situation in Gaza. The affair recalls the case of Rachel Dolezal, who impersonated a Black person. Critics emphasized that the anger is over the appropriation and the lie, not her Jewish background.
