My latest at PJ Media:
Just three days after she was added to the board of the Women’s March, the virulently anti-Semitic Zahra Billoo announced Thursday on Twitter that she has already been voted off the board. Billoo, Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Area office of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-SFBA), blames (what else?) “an Islamophobic smear campaign led by the usual antagonists.” Of course. That must be it. It certainly can’t be because the Women’s March actually rejects anti-Semitism.
The proof of that is the fact that the Women’s March kept Linda Sarsour, a close friend of Billoo, and Tamika Mallory on their board for months after their anti-Semitic statements and actions were revealed. They finally dropped them last week, when the negative publicity had grown too intense, and immediately replaced them with Billoo, who, if anything, is even more anti-Semitic than Mallory and Sarsour. And now Zahra Billoo is only out because her anti-Semitism was publicly exposed. The same can be said of Sarsour and Mallory. If they hadn’t been exposed, they would still be there. It isn’t as if the Women’s March has suddenly decided to reject the increasingly mainstream anti-Semitism of the Left.
But predictably enough, Billoo blames “Islamophobia” and sees the whole thing as a dark conspiracy by “Islamophobes” who “have long targeted me, my colleagues, and anyone else who dares speak out in support of Palestinian human rights and the right to self-determination.”
There couldn’t be a clearer acknowledgment of the fact that the struggle for “Palestinian human rights and the right to self-determination” is really a hateful and ruthless campaign against the very existence of the State of Israel. For all those who noted the implications of Billoo’s presence on the Women’s March board did was quote her saying, among other things, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” This familiar call is a declaration that “Palestine” must be liberated from Israeli rule from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, which would mean the total destruction of Israel and a new genocide of the Jews. That is apparently what Zahra Billoo means by “Palestinian human rights and the right to self-determination.”
There is much more. Read the rest here.

Liberal feminist 1, “Hey, these Muslim ladies we have on board are pretty anti-Jewish, aren’t they? Maybe we should replace them.”
Liberal feminist 2, “Yeah, I noticed that too. Lets bring in this other Muslim lady.”
Liberal feminist 1, “Okay.”
[Passage of a little time during which a little research was done]
Liberal feminist 1, “Hey, this new Muslim lady seems as anti-Jewish as the other ones. Maybe there’s something to this anti-Jewish stuff being in the Qur’an and Islam’s practices.”
Liberal feminist 2, “Couldn’t possibly be that! Lets try finding some more Muslim ladies.”

As a woman these mindless Fems make me physically ill in their abject ignorance.Most of their “new agenda’s” I disagree with anyway. I will never join them. I like men and am perfectly content to have them share the planet.
Don McKellar says
Sadly, Liberal feminist 1 will never dare make the obvious connection out loud and say: “Maybe there’s something to this anti-Jewish stuff being in the Qur’an and Islam’s practices.” for fear of Liberal feminist 2 calling her a racist.
Infidel says
The womens march movement is a single issue Trump hating fraud. If they were genuine about women’s rights, they’d be actively campaigning for free abortions in places like the Pali Authority, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other overpopulated Muslim countries where women have no rights.
The interests of American women lie more w/ American men than it does w/ Muslim women from anywhere!
Angemon says
Indeed.
James Lincoln says
So true, infidel.
I would add the adjective “conservative or independent “ to American men…
James Pierce says
I actually disagree, infidel. I get the impression that the women’s march is a protest against anything and everything. These people are all over the place when they’re talking about this stuff. I get the feeling that they don’t even know what they’re protesting against anymore.
Giacomo Latta says
The initial idea was to allow any female grumblers into the march to show numbers. It does not take long before the original causes get left behind when some components with sharp elbows (did I say Muslims?) try to steal the show. When they do they draw critical attention then will soon lose their place.

Several years ago in Montreal in a Women Center there was a poster for Palestine. Palestine is a very violent male dominated anti women’s rights land. Never have I heard in that Women Center a word about doing something for stoping honour killings and beatings of women in Palestine or any Muslim land. These Women Centers think with one neurone at a time and it’s the wrong one. Talking about abortion is the same operation: I never hear the feminist associations talk seriously about birth control. Only about abortion. There again they miss a part in the process of making babies which is that you can avoid abortion with birth control and positive communication with your sex partner if you don’t want a child. Also they never talk about the fact that abortion is killing an unborn child and that women should do all that they can to avoid killing an unborn child. Birth control in Muslim territories would be a great victory because it involves positive communication and respect between the sex partners, and not using children for jihad, all of which is far from existing in Islam.
Sorry for my bluntness but to me Palestine is worth one feminist wrong neurone. Palestinians should in emergency convert from Islam to Judaism, Christianity or Buddhism and start contributing positively to the world instead of trying to bankrupt the whole world with their parasitic death cult theocracy.

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz
Refutes the BDS Movement:
“The goal of the BDS movement… is to mis-educate students…
The goal of the BDS movement is to mis-educate a generation of future leaders,
by lying to them, by demonizing, delegitimizing, discriminating against,
applying a double-standard to the nation-state of the Jewish people.”
“BDS is part of a more generalized effort to destroy the State of Israel…”

Jonathan S. Tobin said this about BDS:
“BDS is not a movement that aims to merely criticize Israel’s policies.
Its purpose is the elimination of the sole Jewish state on the planet.
Its modus operandi is economic warfare,
which given the success of Israel’s economy
means it has been a colossal failure.
Yet its strategic purpose is to legitimize discrimination
against Jews and their state, as well as to stigmatize
and isolate Israel’s Jewish supporters.
That is why BDS is not only a form of anti-Jewish bias
that is indistinguishable from anti-Semitism,
but also provides an easy explanation for why
acts of anti-Semitism soon follow
wherever the movement pops up.”

Martha Pollack
(President of Cornell University in New York) said:
“BDS unfairly singles out ONE country in the world
for sanction when there are many countries around the world
whose governments’ policies may be viewed as controversial…”
“Moreover, it places ALL of the responsibility
for an extraordinarily complex geopolitical situation
on just ONE country, and frequently conflates
the policies of the Israeli government with
the very right of Israel to exist as a nation,
which I find particularly troublesome.”

That Was Quick: Women’s March Drops Anti-Semite It Brought in to Replace Its Other Anti-Semites
……………….
Well, this is a good thing. I contacted the Women’s March and gave them a head’s up about Billoo’s antisemiticism–I hope many others did, as well. And I will be contacting them to thank them for dropping Billoo. You can too; link is here:
https://womensmarch.com/contact
Please be polite.
But they are going to be hard pressed to find *any* Muslim who isn’t a virulent antisemite.
unbeliever1 says
Why in tarnation would the Women’s March want a Muslim woman as its leader when Muslim women never care to address women’s rights in Muslim countries?
Steven Israel says
What a brilliant thought! Convert the Arabs to Judaism or Christianity or Buddhism or any of the real religions of peace and assimilate the converts into Israeli society from the Jordan to the Mediterranean. LDS missions in Gaza? How long before they’re murdered?
