How Linda Sarsour exploits Pittsburgh synagogue massacre

18

Linda Sarsour has called for jihad against President Trump, as well as for the slaughter of Jewish families. She recently warned against “humanizing” Jews. She avidly supports the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement, an economic boycott of the tiny Jewish state, which mirrors the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in the lead-up to the Holocaust. Preceding Kristallnacht, the Nazis held several days calling for Germans to boycott Jewish-owned businesses. BDS is no different. Sarsour was outraged when a police officer and an FBI agent shot and killed a young black Muslim named Usaama Rahim in Boston on June 2, 2015, when Rahim lunged at them with a military-style knife as they attempted to question him about suspected terror-related activities. Naturally, Sarsour said: “At the end of the day, a Black man was shot on a bus stop on his way to work and we should treat this like any other case of police violence.” Usaama Rahim was involved in a plot with two other Muslims — their goal was to behead me.

And about Sarsour, there’s much more.

Islamic Jew-hatred: it’s in the Quran, and it’s propagated by Linda Sarsour.

“Opinion: How Linda Sarsour exploits Pittsburgh synagogue massacre,” by Steven Emerson, The Algemeiner, November 1, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

Expressions of grief, shock, and solidarity came from all corners as a horrified nation learned about a Jew-hating gunman’s attack on a historic Pittsburgh synagogue.

Eleven Jews were killed because they were Jews, gathered for Shabbat services at the Tree of Life synagogue. Four Pittsburgh law enforcement officers were wounded as they raced toward the gunfire and prevented the tragedy from becoming even greater.

But one person’s statements of grief and solidarity stand out, largely because it contrasts a long record of sowing enmity and antisemitism. During a vigil on Sunday outside the White House, Linda Sarsour, microphone in hand, spoke of love and solidarity with American Jews.

“I hope that you commit and you join me and my sisters and brothers who are here today, to resist hate and choose unrelenting love every single time,” she said.

Her organization, MPower Change, issued a similar statement in Sarsour’s name, expressing “solidarity with our Jewish family, especially the community in Pittsburgh, after today’s horrific shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue. In the face of overwhelming hate, we choose unrelenting love and unity. We recommit ourselves to dismantling antisemitism and all forms of racism.”

How nice. If she is sincere, however, Sarsour would do well to revisit the years of hatred she has expressed against Israel, the Jewish state, which is a vital safeguard for Jews threatened by antisemitism around the globe. And she won’t have to look back very far.

Just last month, Sarsour spoke at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)’s national convention. She called herself an “unapologetic, pro-BDS, one-state solution supporting resistance supporter.”

By definition then, Sarsour’s ultimate ambition is a world with no Jewish state. BDS has been blasted as antisemitic, including by the Berlin State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, because it seeks to isolate Israel and many BDS leaders advocate Israel’s elimination. And a one-state solution would flood Israel demographically, stripping it of its Jewish majority.

At the same convention, Sarsour blamed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) — the most prominent Jewish advocacy group in America — for the deaths of unarmed black people at the hands of police. Why? Because the ADL runs a program that takes high-ranking police officials to Israel, where they learn about fighting terrorism and other threats. To Sarsour, that means American police officers must “come back here and do what? Stop and frisk, killing unarmed black people across the country.”

You can listen to the whole clip for yourself.

Sarsour also argued at the ISNA convention that Muslims should not defend or “actually try to humanize the oppressor,” which was a reference to Israel.

Sarsour knows that she is seen as an antisemite. She made a video last year that seemed cynically devised to shut down those concerns. But in trying to condemn Jew-hatred, Sarsour couldn’t help but minimize its severity, saying, “It’s different than anti-Black racism or Islamophobia because it’s not systemic.”

During a discussion at New York’s New School a year ago, she blamed “Jewish media” for giving her a bad reputation.

Sarsour famously tweeted, “Nothing is creepier than Zionism,” and rejected offers of solidarity from pro-Israel Jews that are similar to what she claims to offer after the Pittsburgh massacre. Those aren’t views limited to criticism of specific Israeli policies, but a wholesale rejection of a Jewish homeland.

There are about 14.5 million Jews in the world, nearly half — 6.5 million — of whom live in Israel. Another estimated 5.7 million live here in the United States, France, Canada, and the United Kingdom. For the sake of argument, say only half of those Jews living outside Israel consider themselves Zionists (though the available data indicates the figure is much higher).

But that means that nearly 10 million of the world’s 14.5 million Jews are Zionists. Sarsour, by her own words, is hostile toward about 70 percent of world Jewry. But she’s no antisemite?…

Sadly there are far too many ‘respected’ Jews that use their position to dehumanize fellow Americans for political and ideological agendas. Anti-Speech, Anti-Gun, Anti-White(male) will NEVER help push the narrative of inclusiveness or one of tolerance !!!

And do any of us have any doubts the Left supports this?

If they did NOT support it, SourSewer would be anathema – like David Duke – only more so given that SourSewer has an Ideology, Money, Power, and hundreds of millions ready to follow her unlike the former Klansman.

Her condolences are not worth the air they were spoken in. She engages in deceit – to give the Liestream Enemedia the sound bites for their Pro-violence, Pro-hate narrative – and to blame Trump and his suppporters – meaning us and all actual allies of decent people – for the crime.

On October 6/7 2018, Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is sponsoring the annual “Carry the Light” convention to be held at The International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.

This event is promoted by Toronto muslims.com link This convention is titled “Canadian Muslims Sharing Islam, Serving Humanity”.

One of the guest speakers, among many, is Linda Sarsour.

Ms. Sarsour (born 1980) is a controversial American political activist and former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York. Beginning with advocacy on behalf of American Muslims, she has extended her activism to other civil rights issues such as Black Lives Matter, immigration policy, and mass incarceration. She has been a supporter of the progressive movement and the Democratic Party.

Ms Sarsour has come under fire for her anti-semitic rhetoric.

She has consistently downplayed terrorism plots, attacked counter-terrorism measures and the use of informants. She has asserted conspiracy theories and claimed the U.S. is facilitating war on Islam and Muslims. She is a staunch defender of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and a proponent for the Palestinian cause. link

“I hope that you commit and you join me and my sisters and brothers who are here today, to resist hate and choose unrelenting love every single time,” she said.” For Linda Soursewer to stand in “defense” of Jews, in this way, is the purest form of evil. Like the devil, she can mold herself to the situation at hand by making herself appear sympathetic and siding with Jews. She must have a contract with devil.

American Jews are divided between Socialists and Zionists. Most Jews are one or the other, and many have no connection to Israel, except lip service. To be sure, no one Jew can say he is a better Jew than the other. Because his ideas are different, we reject his Judaism.
A hundred years ago, Jewish immigrants needed a hand in assimilating. They were used to living in all Jewish communities, and suddenly they were cast along with other poor Americans. Towards that end, they formed HIAS. It is a left-wing vestige of the spirit of those Jews of one hundred years ago. Indeed, Zionism was originally very parallel to Socialism, done honestly. They figured to hold Jewish values then, but they did not keep up with the times. The people became known as apologists.
If Linda Sarsour was to pick a temple to support, it would be one that honors her. That would be HIAS. They may be Jews, but not my kind of Jew.

It’s terrible OMG. “You People” at Geller report were right about “Those People” coming here to bring terror: in just one week we had a FLA mail bomber threatening Americans, a racist anti-semitic mass shooter in Pitt, Penn killing 11, and a misogynist racist killing yoga-women in FLA. You were right! We need to be afraid of the INVASION of THOSE PEOPLE!
