SARSOUR ON U.S. PEACE PLAN: I REJECT ANY DEAL FROM A FASCIST ADMINISTRATION

Women’s March co-leader Linda Sarsour has come out swinging against the newly formed Congressional Black-Jewish Caucus, citing the involvement of a Jewish GOP congressman. Ms. Sarsour, a Palestinian-American progressive activist, called the caucus a “joke” over the role of co-founder Rep. Lee Zeldin, New York Republican, whom she blasted as a “notorious anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, anti-Muslim bigot.” The other co-founders include a second Republican—Rep. Will Hurd of Texas—and Democratic Reps. Brenda Lawrence and John Lewis of Georgia. She also took a swipe at Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat, a Women’s March critic who joined Mr. Zeldin as a co-founder of the caucus unveiled June 3 at the American Jewish Committee Global Forum in Washington, D.C. “The African-American and Jewish communities have a history of standing together for the promotion of social justice and civil rights,” said Ms. Lawrence at the forum. “There are very few segments of America that have invested themselves in these struggles as much as these communities.”
