.@LSarsour Sees ‘Pattern’ in Attempts to ‘Marginalize’ Ilhan Omar and Other Pro-Palestinian Advocates cnsnews.com/news/article/p…

“Marc Lamont Hill, Tamika Mallory, Angela Davis, Michelle Alexander, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar – it’s a pattern,” she said. “End goal of the right is to marginalize prominent voices who dare speak up for Palestinians" said Sarsour.

"They work to make us radioactive. Untouchable. We need to resist this.”

Hill, a Temple University professor, was fired as a CNN contributor last November after he endorsed, at a U.N. event, “a free Palestine, from the river to the sea” – a slogan amounting to a call for an end to Israel.

He also voiced support for Palestinian “resistance,” which in the context of the Mideast conflict is a term often associated with violence.

This weekend, the Nation of Islam is gearing up for this year’s “Saviours’ Day” convention, with a program that will include a session on “Defending Farrakhan”on Friday and a keynote speech by him on Sunday.

The Nation of Islam held a “Defending Farrakhan” forum in San Francisco late last month, where participants, the organization reported, “expressed their support for the Minister and condemned Jewish groups and leaders trying to paint him as a hater and anti-Semite.”

Speakers including former Black Panther Elaine Brown accused elected black leaders of bowing to Jewish interests and denouncing Farrakhan, while being silent on what Brown called “the crimes of the Zionist state of Israel.”

“Now, we look at Minister Farrakhan and on the question of the Jew, I don’t know any Jews that Minister Farrakhan has killed,” she said. “I don’t know about no agenda for mass extinction of the Jews, when there’s a mass extinction of Palestinians in Palestine".

"I don’t know of any of this, all I know is Louis Farrakhan has been consistently, I would say, for more than a half a century, standing up for black people.”

“Any attack on Louis Farrakhan is an attack on our people,” Brown said.
