The Democratic National Convention featured Linda Sarsour, former leader of the Women’s March, as she hosted a caucus meeting for the Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly.

The party’s apparent embrace of Sarsour is notable because of her history of anti-Semitic comments and support for the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) movement to isolate and cripple Israel. The Women’s March, of which Sarsour was a longtime member, cut ties with her and two other board members accused of making anti-Semitic comments last year.
