The anti-Semitic women's march

Washington Times:
The Women’s March has incited another uproar over anti-Semitism, this time stemming from national co-chair Tamika Mallory’s comment about “white Jews” contributing to white supremacy.

Ms. Mallory weighed in after a Dec. 10 expose in Tablet magazine about a January 2017 meeting of initial Women’s March leaders. The report said that she and co-chair Carmen Perez made critical comments about Jews, while Ms. Mallory said the role of Jews was discussed.

“Since that conversation, we’ve all learned a lot about how while white Jews, as white people, uphold white supremacy, ALL Jews are targeted by it,” Ms. Mallory said in a Sunday statement in The New York Times.

Her comment, while apparently aimed at appeasing her critics, instead fueled a fresh round of attacks on the Women’s March, whose leaders have repeatedly been accused of anti-Semitism, which they deny.

At issue are their associations with the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan and Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh; failure to mention anti-Semitism in their Unity Principles; lack of Jewish women in top posts; and the recent allegation that they pushed out 2017 organizer Vanessa Wruble because she was Jewish, which Women’s March leaders have denied.

The Jerusalem Post’s Lahav Harkov called Ms. Mallory an “open, unabashed antisemite,” while Boston Globe columnist Michael Cohen blasted the comment as “deeply ignorant & offensive.”

There is more.

This should be a real problem for all the leftist Democrats who have embraced this group.  Many of the feminist Democrats with political ambitions of running for President have been mute about the group'anti-Jewishsh attitude.  They must see it a dilemma, rather than a chance to clarify their own position.
