I’m also a Palestinian woman, but I’m nothing like Linda Sarsour. A lot of us aren’t. She doesnt speak for Muslims, Palestinians or for Arabs, and she most certainly doesn’t speak for feminists. She speaks for herself. And what she has to say is divisive, hateful, and violent.

But that’s exactly the issue right there. She does see them as fundamentally different. She sees Palestinians as human beings, and she asks that we not ‘humanize’ Israelis.

The list of reasons to disavow Sarsour have been public for yrs, I won’t re-hash it all here. It’s obvious that she believes in human rights and dignity for some humans-not all. That is not the kind of person that should be leading anything-let alone a liberal women’s march.

Please continue this pressure until she is removed. She has tainted what the founder
@TeresaShookWM saw as an inclusive, empowering movement. With her hateful rhetoric removed, we can get back on track.Show this thread
