A woke activist who branded herself as a black Palestinian crusader has apologized after being exposed as a white Jewish woman.
Hannah Gann, 34, a teacher with the Philadelphia School District, rose to prominence as an outspoken Palestinian-American activist who campaigned in the aftermath of the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.
She allegedly used makeup to darken her skin, appeared to alter her accent, and donned keffiyeh scarves at protests as she railed against racism and Zionism in demonstrations across Philadelphia.
But Gann has now been revealed to have lied about her identity for years, as she admitted she is 'a white woman of significant privilege and wealth' who has family in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Gann's true background was first revealed by the Racial Justice Organizing Committee and Philly Educators for Palestine, two groups that Gann had been a visible member of.
The groups said their members met with Gann last week and 'questioned her about her background,' and she 'finally admitted' she is a 'white woman of Jewish heritage and an Israeli settler family.'
The groups said they were 'stunned, saddened and angered by this betrayal,' and said Gann had been permanently booted out of their activist organizations.
Gann took to Instagram to apologize after her race-faking was exposed, admitting she 'hid the truth or outright lied about my background to everyone in my life.'
