Sarsour’s charity raised over $400,000 for Jewish causes in 2 fundraisers:
A. “Repair Jewish cemeteries” (160k)
B. "Support Tree of Life shooting victims (Funeral Expenses, Medical Bills)" >>
-There were significant delays in disbursing the Colorado cemetery funds (A) (it took six months for them to receive anything). It raises legitimate questions about whether Sarsour and El Messidi can be trusted to manage funds for Jewish causes. >>>
-$10,000 was sent to the victims of the TOL attack so far from the Cemeteries Fundraiser (A). >>>
- $86,000 (B) will be kept by Sarsour’s charity for "projects that help foster Muslim-Jewish collaboration & solidarity.">>>
- Similarly, it's important that there is accountability for $155K raised for Pittsburgh to get to victims (a month+ later)>>>
-Sarsour's charity "CelebrateMercy" is a missionary organization- there should be scrutiny of what they consider to be Muslim-Jewish collaboration. Sarsour's work?>>
-In response to requests for transparency, Sarsour lashed out on social media at what she called “right wing Zionists and the alt-right”>>>
