Woke activist teacher claimed to be impoverished black Palestinian... now her reputation lies in tatters after her REAL identity was exposed

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.'

IOW she is a Jewish settler......

Gann, who is accused of darkening her skin and faking her accent as she claimed to be a Palestinian-American activist, 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'

When you have rejected Judaism or Christianity, but are still religiously oriented, you become a leftist.

Liberal women doing what they do best: lie about everything and try to destroy the country that gave them everything they have.

This is actually another case of people judging people on the account of their skin.
If boys can be girls, then white people should be black, if hey so desire.
If there is misgendering, there should be misracing or miscoloring too!
If this woman wanted to be Palestinian activist, then she has 100% right to be one, regardless of her heritage!
Why did she apologize?

Its the same mindset that makes women identify as “Disney Princesses.”
