In reply to the discussion: National Womens March Leadership is Anti-Semitic, Apologize or Resign [View all]Behind the Aegis
(54,143 posts)45. Glad to see this taking root.
It is about time. Anti-Semitism had no place in a civil rights' movement...ever! People making excuses for their behavior, hiding behind a thin veneer of 'splainin' and duplicity should be ashamed, but they aren't. Oh well. Perhaps the movement we realize there can never be "perfect people" or "perfect movements", but when one is trying to secure the rights of one group, it is best not to cast aside other minorities through bigotry. Jewish, trans, and lesbians are just as vital to the women's movement and should be shown RESPECT!

They need to disassociate themselves with this individual yesterday, no need to taint the movement

I can't stand Sarsour. I've seen women's marches in different cities disassociate themselves

Who are you representing when you say "Us"? Are you the leadership of the National Womens March...?

That unfortunately, is an issue that is going to stay with the party for awhile.
