WATCH: Tlaib ally and Former Bernie Sanders Surrogate says, ‘Stop Condemning Anti-Semitism’

This statement from Amer Zahr is not a surprise. Zahr is a vicious anti-Semite. He once compared Israelis to dogs. He is one of many prominent anti-Semites whom Bernie Sanders brought into his presidential campaign in 2020. Watch his statements below. Monstrous.

A former campaign surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and ally to “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., told people on social media to “stop condemning anti-Semitism.”

Comedian and activist Amer Zahr called on “activists and leaders” who are speaking out against “terrorism” and anti-Jewish rhetoric to “stop condemning anti-Semitism” in a video posted Saturday to his Twitter account.

“Stop it! Stop! You are not helping, alright? You are playing their games,” Zahr said in a video posted over the weekend. “It’s a distraction. We’ve been condemning anti-Semitism for 20, 30, 40 years.”

“If they didn’t believe us by now: stop it. Stop it,” he continued. “Just stop it. It doesn’t help.”

Zahr also claimed that a recent full-page advertisement placed in the New York Times that called on models GiGi and Bella Hadid to condemn Hamas and said the terror group wanted a “second Holocaust” was actually saying the models “were in favor for a second Holocaust.”

“Stop it! They’re playing games,” Zahr claimed in the video. “Don’t condemn s***.”

“We have a cross-sectional, intersectional movement that is winning, and they are scared, and they are freaking out, and they’re trying to distract you all,” the comedian claimed.

The ad Zahr referenced said that “Hamas calls for a second Holocaust” and also included excerpts from Hamas’ charter that says the “Day of Judgment will not come about until [Muslims] fight Jews and kill them.”

According to his Twitter profile, Zahr is a former surrogate for Sanders’ failed 2020 presidential bid and donated to Tlaib’s 2018 congressional campaign. He also introduced Sanders at a campaign event in Dearborn, Michigan.

Additionally, Zahr is the president of advocacy group New Generation for Palestine, which aims to “create a network of Palestinian Americans to bond with and empower each other, to promote and celebrate Palestinian Arab culture, to preserve and disseminate Palestinian narratives, to educate the public about Palestinian history and heritage, and to articulate and advocate for a peaceful and just future in our homeland Palestine.”

New Generation for Palestine recently featured Tlaib as a keynote speaker at one of their events and Zahr posted a picture on Facebook with the congresswoman, tagging her campaign and including the hashtag “Free Palestine.”
