Check out these examples of The Forward 'exposing' anti-Semitism in the Women's March

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Tablet ran its lengthy and extensively researched piece on the Women’s March, arguing that anti-Semitism was baked into the leadership from the organization’s very first meeting:

It was there that, as the women were opening up about their backgrounds and personal investments in creating a resistance movement to Trump, [Carmen] Perez and [Tamika] Mallory allegedly first asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people — and even, according to a close secondhand source, claimed that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade.

That Tablet piece shook up a lot of people who were already starting to distance themselves from the Women’s March for its refusal to simply denounce rabid anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan — even activist Alyssa Milano said she was bowing out of the next Women’s March until things changed at the top.

Now, Hen Mazzig, an Israeli based in Tel Aviv, is taking a sledgehammer to The Forward’s claim that they’d been reporting on anti-Semitism in the Women’s March all year long, and he brought receipts in the form of screenshots:

In a series of tweets, @Jane_Eisner of @jdforward trying hard to convince everyone (Inc @nytimes & @JeffreyGoldberg) that she and her team exposed Women’s March Antisemitism.
Please don’t laugh.
Here are some examples of how they defended Sarsour & Mallory’s Antisemitism: pic.twitter.com/dLRd0IuORp

See, The Forward, unlike Tablet, is “woke.”

If you can’t see that whole screenshot, it’s a piece called, “Lay off Linda Sarsour.”

"It is undeniable that the Women’s March leaders have made mistakes," writes @yumcoconutmilk. "But the amount of racism and Islamophobia that defines much of the criticism has become more toxic and harmful than the actions that spurred the protests."

So asking the Women’s March to denounce Louis Farrakhan is racist, Islamophobic, and more toxic than the Women’s March’s anti-Semitism?

This is a very damning thread highlighting The Forward's complicity in defending and covering for antisemitism: https://t.co/szJkKEN6Nj

Sometimes it seems as if the forward cares more about supporting antisemites then it does fighting antisemitism

Most times

Some of those headlines / content from non-Jewish people would be considered deeply offensive. From a Jewish person / publication it is still deeply offensive. It seems like they are throwing Jews under the bus in order to stay chummy with their ‘Social Justice’ crowd.

In case @fstockman reads this, the Forward were the biggest defenders of Women’s March Antisemitism

Good job Hen. Let the world see and hopefully the publishers of the @jdforward will be shamed about who is working for them.

— Steven Turner (@DocSST) December 26, 2018

I am disgusted with @jdforward and will never read another article of theirs.

— Ronaldo (@PujoDawgz) December 27, 2018

The Forward is the most garbage publication, I can't even get through a single article without wanting to delete the internet.

What a brilliant thread! Thank you for summarizing the shameless way @jdforward have fawned over the Women's March leaders. And now they want to take credit for exposing them! That's the definition of chutzpah.

The JDForward is so unbelievably pathetic. Until someone holds its advertisers to account for this madness, it has zero incentive to change.

— Jon Sutz (@JonSutz) December 26, 2018

That is a bold faced lie. The temerity of the Forward is beyond belief. Not only have they been defending the Woman's March and it's leaders from accusations of antisemitism, they have been attacking those that where trying to expose it.

You know you are on to something when you get this much blow back, back peddling, smear efforts, and stone walling, excellent job exposing these people for their hypocritical behavior

— Mr_Mask1337 (@Mr_Mask1337) December 26, 2018

Does anyone actually read the @jdforward?

I'm pretty sure all of their visitors are just outraged Jews clicking through to read their latest attack on Israel or defence of antisemites.

If we stopped clicking they'd go out of business ?
