Women's March Award a no-go by German NGO due to anti-Semitism

A German think tank known as the Friedrich Ebert Foundation [FES], an organization associated with the German Social Democratic Party, has rescinded a human rights award it planned to present to the Women's March USA movement after it learned that the Women's March movement only believes in women's rights that don't include women who happen to be Jews.

In fact, the leaders of the Women's March movement, Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez and Tamika Mallory, don't like Jews of either gender, mainly because these women are three hate-filled schmucks, and are fond followers of noted self-proclaimed anti-Semite, Louis Farrakhan.

In a letter by FES, it refused to present the award on grounds that the group failed to meet its criteria.

"We believe that the Women's March USA does not meet the criteria of this award, as its organizers have repeatedly attracted attention through antisemitic statements, the trivialization of antisemitism and the exclusion of Zionists and Jews since Women's March USA's establishment in 2017," members of the working group, Critique of Anti-Semitism and Jewish Studies, wrote Thursday. "Women's March USA does not constitute an inclusive alliance."

The foundation, which is part of Chancellor Angela Merkel's government coalition, had planned to present the award to the Women's March on Monday, but evidently they Googled Linda Sarsour and her cohorts.

In order to be eligible for the award, a group must possess a "commitment to a strong, active and inclusive civil society." Hating people for being Jewish does not fall under that umbrella.

However, "an organization that may support feminism, but discriminates against Jews and Zionists and denies Israel's right to exist should not be honored by a democratic foundation that advocates diversity and speaks out against discrimination," the letter stated.

Ya think?

The letter went on: "Since its inception in 2017, Women's March USA has attracted media attention due to the antisemitism of its board members and chair women. Linda Sarsour, a member of the board and former president of Women's March USA, is notorious for her propagation of antisemitism toward Israel. This transpired not only through her statement from March 2017 claiming that feminists could not be Zionists simultaneously and that Zionists were Nazis, but also through her demonization and delegitimization of Israel, as well as the application of a double standard. She also calls herself a 'very staunch supporter of the BDS [Boycott, Divest, Sanction] movement.' These forms of antisemitism were also visible at the Berlin Women's March in January 2018. The organizers did not show any attempt of critique or disassociation."

The letter also mentions the leaders' long-standing attraction to Farrakhan, "who, among other things, called Adolf Hitler a 'very great man' while recently comparing Jews to termites."

The action by the working group follows a statement made last week by actress Alyssa Milano who said she would not speak at the next Women's March as long as the scumcrumpet leaders continue to defend "bigotry or anti-Semitism."

You go, Alyssa!
