It was not. The group had a weird vibe: a handful of “true believers” and a lot of people who seemed to think they should be there for credibility’s sake. (For what it’s worth, the pro-Israel group I was a part of had a similar breakdown of people who were very informed and involved, and a lot of people who felt like…
Choo choooooooo!

The Nation of Islam and Farrakhan, in addition to the anti-semitism and homophobia are also very anti feminist/anti gender equality. So yeah, it’s a big problem to praise them when they are allegedly fighting for feminist ideals.
LOL doesn't that describe every Democrat in 2016?
Well you’re only a rear admiral. Maybe one day you’ll be vice. But for right now, you’re right where you belong.
Well, that new board is totally going to clear up concerns about anti-Semitism in the organization...
Yes! The board being only four people, I realize now, made them almost like a mean girls clique. I hope the larger board will alleviate that problem somewhat. Sarsour/Mallory, like anyone else, are only human. They work through their own beliefs, issues, experiences, they make mistakes, like anyone else. I don’t…
It is unfair to say that, I was also being hyperbolic purposely, but yes, in general few take the time to have any historical education on how situations got to where they are in the present. I just find it tiresome to hear uninformed opinions on generations long cultural warfare and religious prophecy deciding who…
Seriously, pretend for a second you’re on the other side. How would you react if you were constantly being hit with false accusations? The democrats look so foolish here and stuff like this is just going to hurt them in 2020. The insane left has worn out the majority of swing voters.
Yep, that’s exactly right. They viewed Sarsour/Mallory as so indispensable to WM that they became untouchable and above criticism, and that’s what most rubbed me the wrong way.
Leftism=Palestine good, Israel Bad.
As Jezebel reported in November 2018, the charges of anti-Semitism have been complicated. A melange of bad faith accusations lobbed at Sarsour
Not ever going to get over Sarsour’s tweet about Ayaan Hirsi Ali - you don’t tell a woman who’s been subjected to FGM that she deserves to have her vagina taken away. Sarsour is trash.
A melange of bad faith accusations lobbed at Sarsour—a Palestinian-American who is a vocal critic of Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinian people—accompanied fairer critiques of Mallory’s reluctance to distance herself from Louis Farrakhan
Good. Bye.
You’re going to kill rich people’s kids?
You have to understand, our generation’s parents fought WWII, and we grew up hearing tales from them of the catastrophic failure of the appeasement of Munich in 1938. We took their words to heart. So when Iraq blew up into a crisis in 2002, we knew immediately that appeasement was not an option with Saddam Hussein. …
Did y’all even see him? He wasn’t going for the jugular on ANYTHING last night. He was frail and tired. Rumor is that he’s sick. We all have those days but it really showed on him.
Iraq was not Vietnam. My generation knows the difference, and Joe is from my generation. Young folks should listen to us more.
