Picture this: A packed room at ArabCon, an Arab American conference in the heart of Michigan, where the air is thick with politics and passion. |Adjunct law professor Amer Zahr from the University of Detroit Mercy steps up to the mic and drops what should be a somber question: “Do you condemn October 7th?” You know, the day in 2023 when Hamas terrorists stormed Israel, killing over 1,200 people, taking hostages, and unleashing horrors that still echo globally. Not solemn reflection or heated debate, but outright laughter from the panel and crowd. The audience? They ate it up, with cheers reportedly following the refusal to denounce "armed resistance."
