Linda Sarsour: “Humanizing” Israelis “Is Not The Position Of Muslim American Community”
Anti-Semitic Islamist activist, Linda Sarsour, was in fine form at ISNA, warning Muslims that if they weren’t fighting Israel, they were complicit. She warned them against even daring to “humanize” Israelis, as Steve Emerson reports at The Algemeiner.
Her tone often was not aimed at inspiring Muslims to be more politically active, as much as it was to shame them for not doing so. If they aren’t sufficiently engaged in advocating for the Palestinian cause, she said, “you as an American Muslim are complicit in the occupation of Palestinians, in the murder of Palestinian protesters. So when we start debating in the Muslim community about Palestine, it tells me a lot about you and about the type of faith that you have in your heart.”
Worse still, “if you’re on the side of the oppressor, or you’re defending the oppressor, or you’re actually trying to humanize the oppressor,” she said, “then that’s a problem sisters and brothers, and we got to be able to say: that is not the position of the Muslim American community.”
That seems like a slap at Muslim activists who have engaged in dialogue with Zionists and Israelis, and even traveled to Israel under a program financed by the Shalom Hartman Institute. Wajahat Ali, for example, was disinvited from speaking at this weekend’s convention for failing to make the Palestinian cause his paramount issue as a Muslim.
If you’re going to kill Jews, you have to dehumanize them.
And “resistance” is all about killing Jews. ISNA is part of a continuum of organizations that support Islamic terror against Israel.
Sarsour is consolidating that opposition by warning that any attempt at dialogue, any view of Israelis as human beings, rather than faceless things to be destroyed, is “not the position of the Muslim-American community.”
This is the bigot that the Democrats have embraced. While we get lectures from the Dems about violent racism, they’re once again flirting with genocide.
