BrownTown shares space with Amoona, Chicago-based Palestinian student organizer, to further the conversation on Palestinian liberation, focusing on the student encampment movement in spring 2024 and how institutions have responded since. After 140+ college campuses put on demonstrations for Gaza solidarity, the war machine drudges on with the help of school administrators and other institutions suspending, evicting, and even firing students, professors, and employees over their support for Palestine and stance against genocide. As the student intifada slows during this time, what does the interconnected and transnational struggle for collective liberation look like going into 2025? Here's their take. Originally recorded December 9, 2024. GUESTSAmoona is a Palestinian student organizer currently living and working in Chicago who is also very connected with abolitionist work across the state of Illinois.

Feb. 2, 2024 ~ Wednesday night, protestors held a rally at Fordson High School against President Biden's visit to Michigan. Organizer, Amer Zahr, joins Kevin and Tom to tell them why Arab Americans don't support the visit.

We've all heard the absurd claim that "Jesus was Palestinian" - from Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour to comedian Amer Zahr to protestors at a Santa Claus booth at a Toronto mall. Some people dismiss the claim as complete nonsense. However, the claim is a pernicious one as it seeks to redefine Jewish identity - as a faith, not as a people. By doing so, its aim is to remove any connection Jews have to peoplehood and to the land of Israel.

October 13, 2023 ~ Amer Zahr, president of New Generation for Palestine, joins Kevin and Tom to talk about why he organized the Dearborn rally that called for an end to Palestinian occupation.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about another escalation in the war between Ben Shapiro and Andrew Tate over Hamas' attack on Israel; Ben Shapiro's terse response on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on why he refuses to be lectured about morality by Tate; Black Lives Matter showing its true colors and showing it's support for Palestine with a disgusting graphic showing a Hamas paratrooper; how Hamas builds it's weapons arsenal by turning water pipes into missiles; frightening footage of Amer Zahr speaking at a Free Palestine Rally in Dearborn, Michigan; Terry Crews warning CNN's Don Lemon about the extremists within Black Lives Matter; an old “Firing Line” interview with AOC where she echoed Hamas talking points when Margaret Hoover asked her about Israel; John Fetterman accidentally mocking himself on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”; Jordan Peterson explaining why Gen Z have been trained to lack motivation; and much more.

Today's episode features Amer Zahr, a political activist, comedian, law professor and excellent human being. Every WAYS episode is unique for the commentary, stories of the featured guest and the growth of Osama and Mohammed alongside the progression of the podcast. Amer is a Palestinian-American, which should appear as a simple attachment to his family's background and roots born in America. Unfortunately, it is problematic, confusing, alarming, and a concept that has not sat well with prejudging individuals and racists against his people and culture. Today's episode attempts to dissect the problem amongst interrelations amongst Whites, Arabs & Blacks. Amer's life is more than by being a person who tells jokes for a living; it is more profound, as he offers wisdom to the dilemma Palestinians have been facing for decades. His political background started from when he was young, yet the awakening would soon transform him into a voice for the voiceless. His being a law professor does not dictate him as an authoritative figure; it only reiterates his focus on learning the history of his people in the academic field, to enlighten the minds of those who are familiar or utterly unaware of the history of Palestine. Amer is a human being, like everyone else; the one thing he does differently and exemplifies every day is the relentless pursuit for creating a change for the better through the lens of what is present to him at the moment. Amer's journey is something we should all recognize, acknowledge and become eventually, Amer; we are all following in your footsteps, keep travelling, we are all right behind you, as we should be.

This week Amer Zahr joins the Palestine Pod and tells us how he uses comedy as a means of expression, advocacy for Palestinian rights, healing, and art. He shares with us some of his comedy icons and admits what he really thinks about white male comedians (sorry Michael). Commenting on the recent storming of the capitol and attempted coup of the US, Amer contemplates how “unbelievably awesome” whiteness is. Amer reflects on his viral video “Akhaduha Mafroosheh” (Arabic for "they took it fully furnished" referring to the Zionist takeover of Palestine as the theft of a fully furnished land, society, and culture) including scenes that did not make it into the final cut. Amer tells us what “Akhaduha Mafroosheh” meant to his family by describing the displacement of his mother's family from Akka, Palestine: “Israel is a lot more than ethnic cleansing. It is ethnic replacement. They literally moved into our grandparents' houses.” By relying on the findings of researchers Ronald Ranta and Yonatan Mendel, Lara dispels the common myth that dishes claimed by “Israeli cuisine” like hummus, falafel, and knafeh are the gifts of Mizrahi Jews coming to Israel from Yemen and Iraq. In fact, these foods were taken from the local indigenous Palestinians who were eating these foods on the land of Palestine for centuries upon centuries. As Amer says, “it's not that hard. Go to a Israeli hummus place […] and then go to a Palestinian hummus place in Ramallah and […] they taste pretty much the same and guess what - the Ramallah guy has been there for 200 years and the Tel Aviv guy just got there. So you figure it out. They are copying our hummus […] the food of the land and of course they are.” Lara asks Amer to tell us some of his favorite Palestinian food memories from his “older than Israel” grandmother. A fierce bamya debate breaks out between Lara and Amer (thanks Michael).

Amer Zahr has been making people laugh for as long as he can remember. Being born to two activist parents and growing up Palestinian in the US, it wasn't long until Amer started using his comedy as a tool for political change. His main goal has always been to amplify the voices of the Arab-American community and this has seen him working on Bernie Sanders' 2016 and 2020 presidential campaign. He's a published author, a law professor a public speaker, but above all, he's the Palestinian Comedian.

Palestinian-American comedian Amer Zahr discusses his thoughts on the presidential debate between Biden and Trump, the neoliberal policy positions of both Biden and VP candidate Harris, why the Biden campaign’s strategy of appealing to the centre could be a recipe for disaster, anti-Palestinian and pro-Israeli thinking at the heart of Biden’s inner circle, why the Democrats may be taking the Arab-American vote for granted, foreign policy hawks influencing Biden, and much more!

He discusses his new film, ‘Psychomagic: A Healing Art’, how he came to develop psychomagic, how it helps individuals suffering from trauma, his opinions on politics and economics amid the coronavirus pandemic, and much more!

Amer talks and jokes about Palestine, about cultural differences, about American politics and in this interview he calls me out for not giving my children enough chocolate!!!
