Jacob Berger

Dr. Ed Hasan
About this episode

On today's episode of #SumudPodcast, we uplift, empower, and amplify pro-Palestinian and New York Jewish native Jacob Berger.


Jacob is a TV and film actor, comedian, rapper, content creator, and social media influencer. He is well-known for his strong and unwavering pro-Palestinian stances. Although he could greatly benefit from being on the other side, Jacob chose to be on the right side of history after a prolonged research into the truth.


In today's interesting episode, host Dr. Ed Hasan talks with Jacob about why and how he became pro-Palestinian. We also discuss #Israel's attempts to lure Jewish Americans into becoming pro-Israeli as well as his thoughts on what's happening in #Gaza and #Lebanon among other things.
