A virulent anti-Israeli activist grew up in a $1.8 million house in one of the wealthiest towns in America before masquerading as a black Palestinian woman for years until she was outed as both white and Jewish.
Hannah Gann, 34, a public school teacher once branded “Philadelphia’s Leading Antisemite” due to her rabid activism, grew up in the leafy confines of Falls Church, Virginia, a DC suburb with the second-highest median income of any suburb in America, The Post has uncovered.
Gann, who was forced to issue a mealy-mouthed apology after being outed by her fellow leftists, was also an honor roll student at her high school, and grew up in a four-bedroom house now estimated to be worth $1.8 million.
Her father, Hal Gann, is a prominent tax attorney who attended the University of Pennsylvania, like his daughter, as well as Yale Law School, while her mother, Susan Gann, is a Dem election donor.
Hannah Gann reportedly lied to her fellow activists about having Palestinian and Tunisian heritage.
In fact, she is Israeli and has living relatives in the West Bank, according to pals who spoke to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The uncovering of her deception has seen her branded the “Philadelphia Rachel Dolezal” on social media, a reference to the former Idaho NAACP president who infamously pretended to be black for years before she was unmasked.
