(IPT) The first thing Linda Sarsour likes to say in her speeches is that she is unapologetic. Unapologetically Palestinian. Unapologetically in favor of a boycott against the world’s lone Jewish state. Unapologetically for a “one state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and that one state isn’t Israel.
But on Tuesday, Sarsour was uncharacteristically apologetic.
“Over the weekend, I made comments about Israel that require context to understand. I was specifically referring to the racist argument at the heart of the nation-state law recently passed by the Israeli government — not the Jewish people,” she wrote. “I apologize for the confusion.”
In a series of Twitter posts, Sarsour said criticism of her comments Friday during a session before the virulently anti-Israel group American Muslims for Palestine’s (AMP) annual convention “is a further attempt to paint the left in USA & UK as antisemitic.”
