Women’s March Removes New Board Member Over Anti-Semitic Statements[/url]

Monday the Women’s March announced it was cutting ties with three of its four co-chairs: Linda Sarsour, Bob Bland, and Tamika Mallory. No specific reason was given but if you’ve followed this story, you know the issue was allegations of anti-Semitism. At the same time, the group announced it was adding a bunch of new people to the board including Zahra Billoo, executive director of the San Francisco chapter of CAIR. ...

Earlier today, just three days after her appointment to the board was announced, Women’s March said Billoo had been removed from the board effective immediately:
...
Which statements? And how were they incompatible? Women’s March doesn’t say, but once again, the unspoken issue is anti-Semitism. Tuesday, Forward published a piece titled “The Women’s March Finally Dumped Linda Sarsour – And Replaced Her With Someone Worse.” That piece highlighted several of Billoo’s past tweets about Israel which seem pretty far over the line of legitimate criticism, especially this one from 2012:

Zahra Billoo
@ZahraBilloo
 Apartheid Israel kills children as a hobby.

OK, three board members were removed for their antisemitism, in part evidenced by social media posts. Who did not think to check out this new board member in light of this, especially the executive director of the San Francisco chapter of CAIR?! You don't have to be hyper-woke to know that for decades SF has been very antisemitism-friendly, especially SF State University.

Curious ain't it.  A leftist pro Palestine org that loves to hate them some Jooos.   Go figure that the bench is full of antisemitic members.

Linda Sarsour is exactly what she's always been.  I don't know how they're just now discovering this.

This story isn't about the removal of Sarsour and the other two antisemites. This is about the removal of one of the new board members, who was discovered to also be an antisemite. Somebody at the Women's March pooed the screwch by failing to do basic research on this new member. That some of the other new board members might have some "interesting" skeletons in their social media closet seems somewhere between very likely and certain.
