Woman’s march under fire for antisemitism

[Melech 9,900]

Alyssa Milano won’t speak at the next Women’s March if leaders Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour continue to support Louis Farrakhan, she told Advocate.

Milano, an actress who has become one of the most public faces of the #MeToo movement, censured those Women’s March leaders for their continued refusal to publicly distance themselves from Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader who has called Jews “the synagogue of Satan” and most recently seemed to compare them to termites, among other anti-Semitic slurs.

Milano’s move to divorce herself from peer activists over Jewish issues is yet another fissure in the progressive movement that has some Jews citing anti-Semitism on the left.

The criticism stems from Mallory’s frequent attendance at Farrakhan’s events, including a speech earlier this year in which Farrakhan stated, “The powerful Jews are my enemy,” and accused Jews in Hollywood of “turning men into women and women into men.”

In the face of public pressure — including from many leaders of local Women’s March chapters around the county — Mallory refused to denounce Farrakhan. Sarsour, a Palestinian-American who was already a tremendously divisive figure in the Jewish community, strongly backed Mallory in a Facebook post, lashing out at critics for “trashing a strong black woman and holding her accountable for the words of a man.”

Carmen Perez, a Women’s March leader whom Milano didn’t mention, has also supported Farrakhan.

Forward is a progressive page. Intersectional feminism also means supporting Jewish woman. It’s sad that a March which should support intersectionality has ties to antisemitism.

Good move from Milano. Every body should avoid any association with someone as toxic as linda sarsour and she probably just  understood it.
