Common card · No. 440407

Simone Zimmerman (born 1990) is an American left-wing Jewish activist. She co-founded the lobby group IfNotNow, created to oppose the American Jewish community's support for the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Zimmerman was briefly appointed as Jewish outreach coordinator for the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign. She was dismissed from the campaign after Facebook posts came to light in which she had insulted Benjamin Netanyahu and Hillary Clinton, leading to denunciations by leaders of major Jewish organizations. In 2019, Zimmerman was named director of the nonprofit organization B'Tselem USA.
