In a bizarre twist on logic, Sharia law proponent, terrorism apologist and Israel critic Linda Sarsour is now alleging that President Trump is the greatest threat to Jews.
“The existential threat (to the Jewish community) resides in the White House, in the highest offices of these lands,” Sarsour claimed during a panel discussion on anti-Semitism at the New School in New York City. “We are now living under fascism and we need all hands on deck.”
Ironically, Sarsour herself -- not Trump -- is the one who's been an open and repeated critic of Israel, a detail that many of her Jewish opponents didn't miss. The Jerusalem Post’s Editorial Board opened up their recent article, “Bigotry’s Leader: Linda Sarsour to Speak at Anti Semitism Discussion,” with this scathing critique:
The New School’s holding a forum of “antisemites on antisemitism” makes as much sense as a KKK forum on civil rights.
Fox News reported Jonathan Greenbelt, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, posted a similar critique on Twitter:
Having Linda Sarsour & head of JVP leading a panel on #antisemitism is like Oscar Meyer leading a panel on vegetarianism. These panelists know the issue, but unfortunately, from perspective of fomenting it rather than fighting it. https://t.co/s4tvBrvjBj 1/2

Despite previously claiming that “Nothing is creepier than zionism,” describing Zionism as incompatible with feminism, and openly embracing convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, Sarsour seemed bewildered at the thought that some might see her as the anti-Semitic one, stating, “Apparently I’m the biggest problem for the Jewish community. I am, like, the existential threat. I’m confused, literally every day.”
Maybe it's the fact that you openly support Palestinian terrorists that's tripping people up, Linda.
