Linda Sarsour agrees with anti-Semitic tweet about IDF and Surfside collapse: gets blasted for it and runs away

"Stop! . . . in the name of hate"

Linda Sarsour [emphasis on "sour"] may come from Brooklyn, New York, but her heart is in Gaza beating for Hamas.

Sarsour, a Women's March cofounder and outspoken anti-Semite, hasn't been in the news lately but found the opening to spill her bile on social media. In response to her anti-Semitic rhetoric, she was met with a salvo of criticism after she voiced her "thoughts" about the condo collapse in Surfside, Florida on Twitter, where anti-Semitism is not censored, but statements about Covid that don't go along with the left's consensus is cause for banishment.

On June 27, an expert recovery team with the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) traveled to Florida to join the crews in Surfside in order to help in the rescue of survivors and pull bodies from the building wreckage.

On Monday, the hateful Sarsour, who hasn't had an original thought since discovering what that substance was in her diaper, shared and endorsed a tweet that questioned the IDF's  involvement in the rescue operation and accusing the Jewish military of targeting civilians. 

“I really don’t understand the [Israeli Defense Force’s] involvement in rescue attempts of people tragically crushed under buildings in Miami. Their expertise is crushing buildings with people in them, not rescuing them,” said a tweet retweeted and promoted by the Brooklyn muslima.

Sarsour later deleted her tweet and announced that she was taking “a few days” break from Twitter because of the backlash she so deservingly received. Let's hope her "few days" break grows exponentially. 

“I’ll be back in a few days. This site is a place where those with no morals or values can take someone’s tweet & claim higher ground with no reflection or retrospection on the atrocities and injustice they support on a daily basis,” Sarsour ironically tweeted. 

Her tweet was more of a self-referral than an objective truth about the IDF who take pains and precautions to limit civilian casualties as much as possible. When they target a civilian structure knowing that it contains a weapons cache or "bad guys," they warn the residents beforehand, something Hamas intentionally does not do when they purposely target children's schools or civilian structures. There is no moral equivalency between the Israelis and Hamas but the left in this country fails to distinguish this fact.

Israel’s former U.N. representative Danny Danon blasted Sarsour, tweeting,:

“Do not expect those who worship violence and death to understand those who value life. The IDF, Israel’s army, the most moral army in the world, will always stand by our allies in times of need.”

Jerusalem Post columnist Emily Schrader said:

“Imagine being such a small person you’re mad about people you don’t like saving lives. Linda Sarsour is mad the IDF is saving lives in #Miami. Remember that.”

Schrader hit the nail on the head; this is exactly how Sarsour thinks.

Sarsour has been allied with such characters on the Left as comrade Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Rep[ulsive] Ilhan Omar (D-MN). 

Both Sanders and Omar are anti-Semites, in spite of Sanders' being a secular Jew [and atheist] who only uses his birth religion to get the uninformed Jewish vote. Omar is an outspoken anti-Semite who has no business being in American government. Sarsour defended Omar after she voiced her anti-Semitism and faced a little blowback from congressional leaders.

So even though Twitter refuses to ban anti-Semitic screeds, it's nice to know that Sarsour has at least temporarily banned herself due to her inability to deal with well-deserved criticism.
