And still the left and the feminazis remain steadfast in their support for this vile, sharia-supporting anti-semite.

German NGO rescinds award to U.S. Women’s March due to antisemitism charge about Linda Sarsour

Social democrats accused US Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour of antisemitism.
By Benjamin Weinthal, November 11, 2018:

NEW YORK – The think tank for the German social democratic party withdrew its Human Rights Award to the Women’s March USA in Washington, DC, on Thursday because doctoral students associated with the foundation accused the organizers of the march of hardcore antisemitism and support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state.

“We believe that the Women’s March USA does not meet the criteria of this award, as its organizers have repeatedly attracted attention through antisemitic statements, the trivialization of antisemitism and the exclusion of Zionists and Jews since Women’s March USA’s establishment in 2017. Women’s March USA does not constitute an inclusive alliance,” wrote members of the scholarship working group, called Critique of Anti-Semitism and Jewish Studies, from the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in a public letter.

The foundation, which generates ideas and policies for the Social Democratic Party, a governing party in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition government, was slated to present its Human Rights Award to the Women’s March USA on November 12. According to the foundation award’s mission statement, it honors a “commitment to a strong, active and inclusive civil society.”

“An organization that may support feminism, but discriminates against Jews and Zionists and denies Israel’s right to exist should not be honored by a democratic foundation that advocates diversity and speaks out against discrimination,” the young academics added in their letter.

The letter stated that “Since its inception in 2017, Women’s March USA has attracted media attention due to the antisemitism of its board members and chair women. Linda Sarsour, a member of the board and former president of Women’s March USA, is notorious for her propagation of antisemitism toward Israel. This transpired not only through her statement from March 2017 claiming that feminists could not be Zionists simultaneously and that Zionists were Nazis, but also through her demonization and delegitimization of Israel, as well as the application of a double standard. She also calls herself a ‘very staunch supporter of the BDS movement.’ These forms of antisemitism were also visible at the Berlin Women’s March in January 2018. The organizers did not show any attempt of critique or disassociation.”

The graduate student academics said Sarsour “also spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories that resemble the classic antisemitic trope of blood libel. In September 2018, for instance, she claimed that when US police officers shoot unarmed black people, Jewish persons responsible would lurk in the background.”

The Friedrich Ebert Foundation said it will investigate the allegations of antisemitism leveled against the Women’s March, according to German media reports.

LOL….reminds me of “Weird” Al Yankovick’s spoof of Kim Carnes’ song “She’s Got Bette Davis Eyes”, Weird Al’s song being “She’s Got Marty Feldman Eyes”.

They had to know all about her views long before she was considered for the award. It was only the backlash that caused them to withdraw it.

At least they are shedding light on her her true agenda.
The world will finally start to see her for what she is.

Why are liberal Jews so stupid in supporting the pro-Islamic Democratic party?

When other countries are forced to point out the jihadis that America nurtures and gives safe harbor to, then the problem is much larger than any of us suspected. It has become clear Washington chooses islam over it’s own people. Washington steals taxes to advance sharia, destroying the future of citizens. America’s political elite force citizens to play their sick and evil jihad lottery.
