The Women’s March, Anti-Semitism, and ‘The Jewish Farrakhan’

Shaul Magid

Once again, the Women’s March has been derailed due to the national leadership's connections to Louis Farrakhan. But Jews have had their own Farrakhans. And many Jews certainly have not treated them, related to them, or engaged with them as they expect American Muslims and African Americans to now treat Farrakhan.
