"Linda Sarsour is a virulent anti-Semite who has publicly stated that 'nothing is creepier than Zionism. Her views have no place in our political discourse and any candidate who associates with her is guilty of handing a megaphone to anti-Semites around the country," Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, told The Post.

"What's even more disturbing is that Bernie Sanders, the only Jewish candidate, has chosen an anti-Semitic surrogate," the Manhattan cosmetics mogul added.

Lauder's sentiments were echoed by the Zionist Organization of America, which also called on the Brooklyn-born Democratic Socialist to pull the plug.

"It is particularly painful that Jewish Senator Bernie Sanders is (again, as he did in 2016) employing vicious Jew-hater and terrorism promoter Linda Sarsour as a campaign surrogate," according to a statement issued by the group.

ZOA likewise urges Senator Sanders to immediately disassociate himself from 'vicious Jew-hater Linda Sarsour.'"

Many accusations in there so I’ll pick just one. Equating BDS with anti-semitism is the new normal in North America. It’s one of many reasons why the charge of anti-semitism, like racism generally, has become just another meaningless PC line.

I find it amazing that a descendant of Polish Jews would associate and promote somebody like that. Yes he should drop her like a hot rock.

When you dig around in a BDS supporter's background it's not unusual to find other evidence of anti-semitism. Take Linda Sarsour for example:

$1:

In the past Sarsour has offered public praise for Rasmea Odeh, a Palestinian terrorist convicted in 1970 for her role in the bombing of a Jerusalem supermarket which killed two people. She has also publicly aligned herself with hate-spewing Nation of Islam boss Louis Farrakhan. In 2015 she spoke passionately at his #JusticeOrElse march in Washington D.C. She is a longtime advocate of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel.

She loves her some Shariah law. And that's another reason to question her connection to an American politician.

Not every college student who supports BDS wants Sharia law. That much should be obvious. It’s funny how right-wing commentators go all PC about Israel and demand everybody follows the same approved script.

Among US presidential candidates, only old guys who are past caring what donors think dare to criticize Israel, e.g. Ron Paul or Bernie Sanders. The rest are terrified of AIPAC and the Israel Lobby.

I don't remember anybody saying they did. Linda likes her some Sharia though. She's a Farrakhan fan too.
