(Jewish Group) Sarsour clarifies Israel is 'built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else

Linda Sarsour clarifies her comment that Israel is ‘built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else’

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour took to Twitter to clarify recent controversial comments she had made about Israel.

Speaking Friday at the annual conference of American Muslims for Palestine in Chicago, Sarsour had criticized progressive Zionists.

“Ask them this, how can you be against white supremacy in America and the idea of being in a state based on race and class, but then you support a state like Israel that is based on supremacy, that is built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else,” she said.

Sarsour is a surrogate for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish, and one of the original national organizers of the Women’s March. She has frequently spoken harshly against Israel and its government.
