Women’s March Loses Human Rights Award Due To Rampant Anti-Semitism

Since the Women’s March was founded in 2017 before President Donald Trump had actually done anything, praise has been heaped upon it merely for existing and being made up of women. But now that the anti-Semitic beliefs of some of the group’s founders are finally starting to get recognition, some of those who formerly praised the organization are now pulling back.

The Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES, because in German it’s known as Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung), a German think tank for its social democratic party, was slated to award the Women’s March with its Human Rights Award on November 12, but has now withdrawn the group’s nomination, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Members from one of FES’s working groups, Critique of Anti-Semitism and Jewish Studies, penned a public letter denouncing the Women’s March’s anti-Semitism and support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.

“We believe that the Women’s March USA does not meet the criteria of this award, as its organizers have repeatedly attracted attention through antisemitic statements, the trivialization of antisemitism and the exclusion of Zionists and Jews since Women’s March USA’s establishment in 2017. Women’s March USA does not constitute an inclusive alliance,” the members wrote. – READ MORE
