After leftists designated sharia supporter and notorious Jew-hater Linda Sarsour a “leader” of the feminist movement, her ugly past came to the fore. In a bid to deceive and deflect, Sarsour staged a narcissistic publicity stunt. But now it is starting to look as if it is backfiring on her.
Hundreds of Jewish gravestones were desecrated and destroyed at various cemeteries (most likely by her coreligionists), so Sarsour glommed onto the news story and made it her own. She jumped on a campaign to raise money to repair the vandalism (and her reputation due to her long history of antisemitism).
Sarsour hijacked the horror for her own personal aggrandizement, and the elite media ate it up.
Rachel Frommer of the Algemeiner reported last week: “The campaign — named ‘Muslims Unite to Repair Jewish Cemetery’ — had raised $162,468 through the Muslim crowdfunding site LaunchGood, far beyond its set goal of $20,000.” Only 30% of the proceeds were disbursed, while designated cemeteries plead for promised funds. Their calls are met with deafening silence.
When this story broke, Sarsour was enraged. She tweeted: “@Algemeiner is just begging for a defamation lawsuit. This is not the first time I had to answer outlandish claims.” Then in her own defense, she tweeted: “Read this from Jennifer Goodland of Golden Hill Cemetery in Colorado. Shame on @rachel_frommer of the @Algemeiner Your agenda is clear.” Attached to the tweet was a lengthy statement from Goodland, harshly criticizing Frommer — but never explaining where the money was.
Not only did Goodland’s statement not exonerate Sarsour, but after that the plot thickened even more. Sarsour pointed to Goodland as proof of her integrity. It was proof, all right, but not of Sarsour’s integrity; her invoking Goodland showed yet again her contempt for truth and the kuffar.
Yeshiva World reported Monday that “NY State Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) says there’s something fishy about Linda Sarsour’s ‘Jewish Cemetery Advocate.’” There was “just one small issue: Goodland is NOT an employee of Golden Hill Cemetery in Colorado.” Neal Price, the executive director of Golden Hill Cemetery, spoke last week with two of Hikind’s staffers, Yehudah Meth, Director of Communications, and Inna Vernikov, Esq., Special Assistant to Hikind. He told them, according to Yeshiva World, “that Goodland is not now and has never been an employee of the cemetery nor a spokesperson for Golden Hill. Price said he had only spoken with Goodland once when she called to ‘offer help.’ He said he never heard of Goodland before then and that she was not officially involved with his cemetery in any official capacity, nor is she a cemetery spokesperson.”
After that, Inna Vernikov asked Goodland directly on Facebook: “I spoke to Neal Price myself. He barely knew who you were and didn’t understand where you came from…Neal did have serious questions about your involvement and about receiving the money. Bottom line is I care that the money goes to the cemetery. Is that happening?”
Goodland admitted that she wasn’t with the cemetery, but in a highly aggressive manner: “I am neither with Celebrate Mercy nor with the Golden Hill checking account and thus perhaps you should go call your best bud Neal, ask him because he knows, and you two can have a little congratulatory session about acting this way toward a woman who was doing all of this as an act of CHARITY…I’m not your punching bag any more or Neal’s. You guys figure out who’s lying because now it’s all the cemetery has. Congrats.”
Commented Assemblyman Hikind, who has done yeoman work in holding Sarsour’s feet to the fire about her bogus act of charity: “Not surprisingly, Sarsour’s pseudo Jewish Cemetery advocate sounds like quite a character. And Ms. Sarsour just might possibly be a liar who got caught. As I’ve said before, Sarsour is a fraud in every other capacity. One minute, she claims to be an advocate of non-violence, the next she’s glorifying terrorists. Is anyone really surprised by this latest episode? I’m sure now that she’s been exposed, Sarsour will make certain that dead Jews somewhere benefit from the missing money. After all, she’s never had an issue with dead Jews.”
People are on to her. Thousands of freedom lovers attended an anti-Sarsour rally I held last month, where Assemblyman Hikind and other courageous freedom fighters exposed Sarsour for what she is.
She has defrauded people before with hoaxes, but exploiting dead Jews, this is a new low, even for this lowlife.

Richard Koethe says
Has anybody contacted the Colorado government office or police to report this?
mortimer says
Fraud! Richard is correct. Call the snitch line and call the elected reps for the area. Fraudulent fundraising should be investigated and prosecuted.
Which reminds me: Lock the Clinton cabal up for the money they stole from the Haitians.
Halal Bacon says
and it crossed state lines based on the internet, so its a lot bigger than you might think

Dave says
Agree. she should be thrown in jail for fraud and anti-semitism..
Westman says
What was that movie line? Oh, yes: “Show me the money!”
Barbara Paolucci says
I’d like to know the names of the people who donated to this Jewish Cemetery fund. And, as Pamela said,
where’s the money? If she doesn’t give it to the Jewish Cemetery she should be charged with fraud.
mortimer says
Linda Sarsour should be locked up. Robbing a charity is a despicable crime.
john spielman says
she deceived the charitable givers but deception/ taqiyya is all part of islam! because islam sanctifies( makes holy) lying to unbelievers to gain ( financial ) advantage over them!
elee says
Don’t worry, wherever it went, the money is being used to send Jews to cemeteries.
Tom says
The more I read about Sarsour the more I dislike her. That is difficult because right from the get go my gut told me that she was a phony who was using the stupid in our midst to further her Islamic agenda.
Those who are “feminists” and who support this woman are THE biggest suckers who must be the ones financing that prince with the ten million to launder from Africa.
David says
Robert, it seems you misunderstood Linda’s statement. She never raised money FOR a cemetery, she raised it to fund groups like Hamas so that Jews would be put IN the cemetery.
john spielman says
it would be funny, if it was not so true!
Sarah says
Ahh, I know where it went..
Sarsour needed it, for fabric dye and cheap eyeshadow.
Gotta dye her old pillowcases and bedsheets for re-use into hijabs and it has to colour coordinate with the godawful cheap eyeshadow and eyeliner she insists on wearing.
100k on lavender dye and Covergirl purple eyeshadow.
Nailed it.
Robert says
What? Linda Sarsour, a devout Muslim, who adheres to the major doctrines of Islam contained in the Quran, Hadith, and Sira, may not be altogether on the up-and-up? Shocking!
ed says
I thought it was against islam to raise money for non-muslims .
RonaldB says
Actually, there is nothing in Islam against raising money for non-Muslims, but it doesn’t count for zakat, or the Muslim obligation for charity. By the way, the definition of a Muslim charity includes support for jihadis but not support for non-Muslims.
In other words, charity for a non-Muslim is not required of a Muslim or even allowed as a tax-reduction expense.
ninetyninepct says
The ugly bitch, just like any Muslim, considers money or support obtained from infidels to be jizya, the tax taken from infidels by Muslims so Muslims will let the infidels live a little while longer.
She / he honestly feels she is entitled to that $100K and has no intention of accounting for it.
Fk Islam.

God bless Pamela Geller.
gravenimage says
Seconded!
Northern Virginiastan says
Phyllis Chesler said that Jewish cemeteries should politely but firmly refuse the money that Linda Sarsour raised.
Remember that Linda Sarsour raised over $80,000 for a Somali woman who claimed she was attacked in a “hate crime,” but was likely the perpetrator. See https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/06/linda-sarsour-raises-80000-for-questionable-anti-muslim-hate-crime-by-white-man.
Richard Koethe says
Folks – I am fairly new to all of this but one of the reasons I linked with Jihad Watch and Act for America and Clarion Project and Middle East Forum and Religion of Peace and Pamela Geller and several others was to learn about information that was pertinent and important and then take action on it.
Taking approximately 5 minutes I went on line to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation – web site: https://colorado.gov/CBI, telephone number (303) 239-4201, Email: cdps_cbi_denver@state.co.us and copied and pasted some the information found here and sent it to them and asked to investigate.
If anyone else has actually done something except submit idiotic comments, make stupid remarks and attempt to be funny my apologies upfront. It just seems that no matter what the web site people are far more concerned about typing crap (which is the equivalent of flapping gums) but again – if you’re serious and really have done something constructive then I apologize.
Similar to this action – several sites – Jihad Watch as one – outlined that Facebook was deleting sites/pages that were speaking out about militant islam but protecting those that are actually Islamic militants. I called the FCC and was told that the Federal Trade Commission actually worked actions on internet content and free speech. I called them at 877-382-4327 and filed a complaint. I don’t know if it will go anywhere but it beats doing nothing, doesn’t it?
Maybe my expectations are too high but it seems like we need to band together and fight these assholes.
Akiva says
Does anyone remember this infamous video: Anti Semitism is not systemic “Islamophobia” is.
https://twitter.com/jvplive/status/856982227636310016
Someone please tell Linda Sarsour that anti-Semitic hate crimes are 60% vs 13% for anti-Muslim hate crimes as per FBI statistics.
This head-in-the-san says
Sarsour would never raise money for Jews, whether it is a cemetery or a kosher market. The woman is an unabashed anti-Semite. A vile waste of flesh and bone bent on the finalization of the Final Solution. The authorities must expose this Sarsour’s outlandishly criminal actions. Then, without a doubt, divulge her ties with radical-Islam and the Progressive left bent on the undermining of this Republic.
James T Matters says
Where did all the contributions go? If they went to LaunchGood, then they are party to the fraud. If they sent the required funds to Muslims Unite to Repair Jewish Cemetery, then THEY are solely responsible.
The head(s) of one or the other or both need to answer for their actions in a court of law.
