(i24) Palestinian-American civil rights activist Linda Sarsour has published an open letter in response to claims of anti-Semitism targeting her and the Women’s March movement she leads.
Her message is not intended as an apology, nor is it meant to “persuade or to convince,” Sarsour writes in the letter published online to Maven Roundtable forum on social justice.
Sarsour addresses calls on her and Women’s March co-leader Tamika Mallory to condemn leader of Nation of Islam and notorious anti-Semite Minister Louis Farrakhan following the deadly attack on Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue in October that left 11 worshippers dead.
“The Farrakhan controversy began 8 months ago when Jake Tapper and Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL ‘exposed/promoted’ a video of the Minister Farrakhan at an annual gathering for the Nation of Islam called Saviour’s Day where Tamika D. Mallory was present along with 15,000 other people including many Black celebrities, business people, dignitaries and pastors,” Sarsour describes.
