Linda Sarsour, White House 'Champion of Change,' Threatens Black Activist on Twitter

At Free Beacon, "White House ‘Champion of Change’ Goes After Black Pro-Israel Activist."

An Obama administration-endorsed “champion of change” has lashed out at an African American pro-Israel activist, accusing her of forgetting “where she came from” and implying that she is being manipulated by the pro-Israel community.

Linda Sarsour, a Palestinian-American Muslim activist who has been honored by the White House as a “champion of change,” upbraided pro-Israel activist Chloe Simone Valdary Thursday on Twitter after she criticized the campus group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which has come under fire for engaging in anti-Semitic rhetoric.

The heated exchange between Valdary (@Cvaldary on Twitter) and Sarsour (@lsarsour on Twitter) elicited multiple responses from observers who accused Sarsour of engaging in racist and anti-Semitic stereotypes.

“Please understand Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), that this year, we are coming for you,” Valdary wrote online, referencing the heated battle on college campuses between Israel’s detractors and its defenders.
