(Fox News) Comedian and social media influencer Zach Sage Fox went viral for putting a spotlight on anti-Israel protesters who were clueless about the Israel-Hamas war they claim to be so passionate about.
A recent video, “Gaza Graduation,” featured Fox offering anti-Israel protesters $100 to correctly answer basic questions about the ongoing war. He asked which river and sea are being referenced in the notorious “from the river to the sea” rallying cry they admitted to chanting, what Hamas claims its No. 1 goal is, how many years Israel occupied Gaza, the definitions of Zionism and intifada, and other pertinent questions. None of the anti-Israel protesters were able to answer correctly, and the video piled up millions of views.
“I don’t think we gave out a single hundred dollar bill the entire time. I mean, no one knew anything,” Fox told Fox News Digital.

Fox, who has over 1.1 million followers on TikTok and 51,000 on Instagram, isn’t the typical social media influencer looking for a big break. He attended the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania, co-founded the multimillion-dollar media company Fat Camp Films and has created content for the Disney Channel, Hulu, HBO and other major platforms. He also performs standup comedy, but the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks and subsequent anti-Israel protests were the impetus to create a new type of content.
“I saw journalists not really stepping up to do their job and to not really grill these protesters on who they are, where they’re from and what they know. I’m not afraid to just go up and talk to people,” he said, noting that he has uncovered “tons of antisemitism” and ignorance with his man-on-the-street videos.
Fox, who always has security with him when filming, never felt endangered when shooting the “Gaza Graduation” video, but previous ones, such as approaching the anti-Israel encampment on his alma mater’s campus, were a bit dicey.

“Clearly the universities aren’t doing their job,” Fox said.
“It was a genuine social experiment that I wanted to conduct,” he continued. “When offered a bunch of money, can these protesters, these people that support the pro-Palestine movement, do they know a single thing about it?”
