Linda Sarsour is wrong about Courtney Love. Courtney Love hates Trump and she supported Hillary . but she is calling out the BDS movement which IS anti semitic.
<The outspoken Palestinian-American BDS activist Linda Sarsour has attracted the ire of rock singer and actress Courtney Love in a furious Twitter exchange.
Love the flamboyant lead singer of rock band Hole and former wife of Kurt Cobain, the late Nirvana frontman was enraged by Sarsours fundraising campaign for Rahma Warsame, a Columbus, Ohio woman of Somali origin alleged to have been the victim of a violent hate crime last Saturday night.
Columbus police have since clarified that there was no evidence that the altercation that Warsame became involved in which reportedly began after a neighbor spotted her hitting a young boy with a shoe was a hate crime. Nonetheless, Sarsour is trying to raise $100,000 to promote her case.
This irked Love, who told Sarsour on Twitter, Youre a vile disgrace to women and all mankind. She then accused Sarsour of collecting funds on a made up hate crime.
Love shared a screenshot of a statement from the Columbus Public Information Office confirming that the incident was not being investigated as a hate crime. She accused Sarsour of engaging in mudslinging even after the statement had been made public. Youre an anti-semite anti-American fraud, Love declared.>

(35,077 posts)A fight at an apartment complex in Columbus, Ohio, late Saturday left a Somali-American woman hospitalized, a neighbor facing eviction and police looking for answers.
Columbus police on Monday released information about the brawl, which was allegedly marked by racist threats, in an effort to dispel rumors and speculation circulating on social media, they said.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions over hate crimes against racial and religious minorities ― most recently from the mass transit stabbing in Portland, Oregon, in which a white supremacist who was berating a black girl and a Muslim girl fatally stabbed two men who tried to intervene.
Columbus police have not made arrests due to the lack of physical evidence and conflicting stories by all parties at the scene. They said they were unable to determine who the primary aggressor was in Saturdays incident, but said there is no evidence to suggest it was a hate crime.

The police don't believer either side of this story; it being a hate crime or a child being beaten (Or the other party saying they were assaulted by 4 or 5 Somali men). I wonder what algemeiner.com's agenda here is. Division? I've seen Sarsour and I've seen Love. I think they both need to wake up to what's going on... and so do we.

I do not, however, think BDS is anti-semitic, but I also get why some folks -- wrongly imo -- think it is.
