Amer Zahr: “Palestinians’ job every day is to prove that they exist” | The InnerView

Amer Zahr is a Palestinian-American comedian who uses humor as a form of protest against the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and as a way to tell the story of his people. Zahr joins The InnerView and tells Imran Garda that while he may be a comedian, he never jokes—humor, for him, is a tool to tell the truth. He shares the secrets of comedy techniques, discusses the hypocrisy of Western society, whether he has a preference as a Palestinian for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump and explains his theory of why he believes “white male comedy” is actually the hardest job in the world.
