What's Finally Bringing Down @LSarsour? clarionproject.org/bigotry-bringi…
Writing about her support for Ilhan Omar on Facebook, Sarsour railed against the fact that Omar was “being attacked for saying that she supports BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions) and the right for people to engage in constitutionally protected freedoms.”
“This is not only coming from the right-wing but some folks who masquerade as progressives but always choose their allegiance to Israel over their commitment to democracy and free speech.”
That last accusation — the well-known “dual-loyalty slur” – has been a favorite among seasoned anti-Semites for decades.
Why is it so pernicious?
Why is it so pernicious?
The U.S. — well as 31 other nations — are members of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and have adopted the organization’s definition of anti-Semitism.
Part of that definition includes “accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”
In fact, the BDS movement itself falls under the IHRA’s definition of anti-Semitism by “applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.”
t is time Sarsour pays politically for her blatant bigotry.
Although she has managed until now to mesmerize her feminist “sisters” despite her support for sharia law, events point to the Left distancing themselves from Sarsour and her ilk for their anti-Semitism.
