Muslim activist Sarsour accuses American Jews of dual loyalty to Israel
Jerusalem Post ^ | November 19, 2018 | JTA

Posted on 11/20/2018 6:02:31 AM PST by SJackson

The American Jewish Committee responded in a tweet that: “Accusing Jews of dual loyalty is one of the oldest and most pernicious antisemitic tropes."

Activist Linda Sarsour appeared to criticize American Jews of a dual loyalty to Israel in a Facebook post calling for support for Congresswoman-elect Ilhan Omar, following a backlash over her announcement that she supports boycotting Israel.

Sarsour wrote in the post on Thursday that Omar is “being attacked for saying that she supports BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions) and the right for people to engage in constitutionally protected freedoms. This is not only coming from the right-wing but some folks who masquerade as progressives but always choose their allegiance to Israel over their commitment to democracy and free speech.”

Sarsour, a leader of the Women’s March who has come under fire for not disassociating herself or the movement from Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has made anti-Semitic and bigoted statements for decades, most recently comparing Jews to termites, also called for people to post messages of support to Omar on social media.  “You don’t have to support BDS and have every right not to but we cannot stand by idly while a brave Black Muslim American woman is targeted for saying she will uphold the constitution of the United States of America as a member of the US Congress,” Sarsour wrote.

In the comments section on the post in response to the criticism, Sarsour singled out the Anti-Defamation League. In an online petition in support of Omar, Sarsour wrote that she was alarmed by “organizations like the ADL using their platforms to attack a trailblazing Black Muslim woman in order to undermine advocacy for Palestinian human rights.”


The post raised the ire of the American Jewish Committee which responded in a tweet that: “Accusing Jews of dual loyalty is one of the oldest and most pernicious antisemitic tropes. No surprise to see it coming from @LSarsour. How long will progressive leaders continue to look the other way in the face of this hate?

My parents were both born in Palestine (Falastine). My sity still lives there. So when my sister @IlhanMN is being attacked for supporting the movement (protected freedom of speech!) we can't stay silent. Nothing is more American than the fight for justice at home & abroad.

Islam is antithetical to the Constitution.

No muslim can sincerely or genuinely take the oath of citizenship as they are religiously obligated to see sharia reign supreme.

Why Jews didn’t blink an eye when ‘Mein Kampf’ first came out

"In conclusion, the reviewer expresses the hope that the German youth, which increasingly supports Hitler, and their teachers and advisers, start realizing the folly of this growing movement."

To be charitable, Sarsour doesn't have divided loyalties.

Her motives are pure.

Pure evil.

Look who’s talking.

If muslims did not have dual loyalty, they wouldn’t insist on wearing headscarves in the House and not want to institute sharia law.

German Jews were a tiny, assimilated minority. They might have seen those strange religious Jews to the east as the targets, but surely not themselves as historically good Germans!

While I see that they could have, I really don’t associate 5th column types with having divided loyalties. Their “gift” is the ability to seem loyal when they are not at all a friendly. The divided loyalty types seem more Quislings.

Thus I would say of the far Left as entrenched in the DNC that they are a 5th Column against the Republic of the Constitution and for, at an absolute minimum, the Arbitrary government of absolute powers in all circumstances whatsoever (that isn’t trying to regulate having sex) ... though some are clearly holdover Soviet era Useful Idiots like Bernie Sanders while others serve the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood.

But of those Republicans who seem to think it’s “statesmanship” to try to get along with Democrats rather that to be any different from them, while, yes, some ARE asses wearing fake trunk and tusks most are really Quislings. That makes them “useless”, nearly to the point of being unable do to any good, as opposed to “dangerous” as the DNC and asses in disguise are.

Still, in all of this I recognize that even the best RNC Republicans are creatures beholden to and supportive of the highhanded lawlessness that was FDR and what he did. Even Scalia wouldn’t really break with the lawlessness of that era, stating at one point basically that to be an originalist means holding the whole of the modern Court in error ... which it is largely in error.

For example, a power delelegated to prevent the several States to misuse their own Authority to make interstate commerce irregular, by creating sweetheart legislation favoring their own citizens at the expense of citizens of the other States, is NOT a delegated power to boss around non-State entities when they choose to engage in commerce across State lines and is doubly NOT a delegated power to write federal Rules governing intrastate commerce or employment practices on the spurious grounds that these somehow affect interstate commerce.

Good thing that raggedy snizatch doesn't have dual loyalty, right?

Really she doesn't, though. She is only loyal to her raggedy god.

The Holocaust has roots going back to the French Revolution, the elevation of administrative law over common laws, to dechristianization, and “assimilated” Jews, had they had the wisdom, should have understood what the later Dreyfus Affair really meant when the secular society that many loved next got the itch to turn against those they deemed the other.

Has the lesson been learned? Not really as we see many fully assimilated Jews in this country still all in for the secular State of Administrative laws who’s laws are merely political and whose freedoms merely what the all powerful State has thus far let lay fallow and not decided to forbid, steal and rent back as licenses or else tightly regulate.

That Moslem bitch needs to go live in a country that practices the Sharia law she wants to impose on America!

She is treated as royalty here - in a Sharia compliant nation, she would be muzzled and no one would know or care who she is!
