How did "Anti-Semitism" encroach on this Women's march narrative however, if it was about not having enough black people in the march?
How did it encroach the Women's Movement. Easy. Marxist thoughts on the control of wealth, cultural Marxism in which the white man is the oppressor, the struggle for Palestine and Palestinian solidarity. All of which casts a blanket against Jews from the left. Anti-Semitism is both on the left and the right. Last year we had Charlottesville in which the white nationalist snowflake mob chanted (Jews will not replace use). Very horrible people in my book. Now covertly anti-Semitism has appeared on the left. The last time saw saw such hatred from both sides towards Jews was the Inter-War Period. Stalin's Purges in the Soviet Union was against Jews in which many Jews lost their positions in the Soviet Government. And the elected Nazi Party was also heavily Anti-Semitic. If Hitler and Stalin were alive today, both men would heavily agree on the Jewish Question, just like the regressive groups on today's modern far left and far right.

Thank You. Like I said before. If Hitler and Stalin came back from the dead. Both men will talk about the Jewish Question. When Soviets started purging Jews from its government, the Nazis in Germany were delighted. Kim Jung Un, Mao, Saddam Hussain and Castro will also join them in the conversation as well. Socialism and Judaism don't go well together when you look at history.
Back to the topic. The woman's movement needs to purge itself from anti-Semitism, but the sad part is that feminism bought into the whole intersectionality movement, and now feminist are now fighting each other. Who's more oppressed, a straight black protestant female, or an Muslim immigrant female from Sudan, or a black female lesbian, or black transgendered immigrant woman from Dominican Republic.
Did anyone see or read what happened in California. Women's March organizers canceled a march because it as too white. That county is 80% white, and hardly no people of color live there except for Latinas and Asian women.
Anti-Semitism is "the new black" on the left, for sure. It's actually pretty disgusting. It's not enough to make me vote Republican (yet), but I no longer feel safe identifying as a Jew in leftist circles.

Please give it some thought. The far-right Christians on the left give me pause, but ultimately the venom spewed at Israel and Jews by the radical left will have far more damaging repercussions to Jewish survival. If the liberals succeed in sowing more hostility toward Israel (in part due to the antisemtitsm we see on the left) and eventually causing America to pull back its support, antisemtitism in this country will skyrocket - and there will be no safe haven.

I'm not trying to overstate how dangerous it is to be Jewish in America...in fact it's one of the safest places on Earth to be a Jew. But Nazi Germany didn't rise up overnight, and IMHO anti-Semitism is as loud and proud as I've ever seen it in my (relatively short) lifetime in the US.
That said, I felt less safe in Europe than I do here. It's one of the reasons I moved back to the US. Germany felt pretty safe (ironically enough) but I think it's because the Germans talk a good game and they've somewhat "overcorrected" since the end of WWII. You can't even put a swastika on a DVD case there. It's illegal. That doesn't stop people from spray-painting them on things tho.
I will say this...in Europe most of the anti-Semitism I saw and felt was coming from Muslim immigrants, not from Europeans themselves. I did not discuss religion with Muslims there at all and I did not invite them to my home. That's how unsafe I felt around them. I don't feel the same way about Muslims in the US.
Well that’s just silly. “Pro-life” is a term used to refer to one’s stance on abortion, it’s never been used as a statement to describe one’s feelings toward adults.
Additionally, there are plenty of pro-life women who choose life for themselves, but do not condemn other women for their choices. Not every pro-life woman is an activist looking to rob others of their rights. The same can be said of many pro-choice women: we don’t all feel compelled to march on behalf of others. We just live our lives. The saddest thing of all is seeing women insistently label all other women in such a way.
I don’t take issue at all with the group not offering sponsorship to a pro-life group based solely on my opinion that a private group has the right to determine who will sponsor events on their behalf. It makes perfect sense that they would not be comfortable with that. That in my opinion is the LEAST of this nasty group's offenses. Their selection of leadership and their anti-semitism are reason enough to dismiss them as a non-legitimate group.
That is a lie. Pro life means you want abortion to be illegal. It is not simply a personal political stance. Why would a womans group take away womens legal right to an abortion??
What the hell is wrong with these people? I just looked up the Demographics of Eureka, CA where it was being held. 80% of the population is white lol.
I am a black woman who is disturbed by the anti white woman sentiment in women groups. Ironically many of the anti white statements are said by white women. It is so ridiculous. I think orgs should be inclusive to minorities, but this country is still mostly white. So of course womens groups will be mostly white women. It is just common sense.
The left and womens groups are eating themselves, and it is hilarious. I am on the left but can't associate with them.
Don't get me started on how womens groups are not called transphobic for wanting to talk about pregnancy, abortion, menstruation, etc.
