On Friday, March 8th, the State Department will award its International Women of Courage Award to 10 women.
One of them, Samira Ibrahim, has repeatedly demonstrated her anti-semitic and anti-American views in public forums; celebrating the killing of Jews. For example, she once tweetted "I have discovered with the passage of days, that no act contrary to morality, no crime against society, takes place, except with the Jews having a hand in it." She personally celebrated the death of 5 Israeli tourists in Bulgaria calling it " a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news." She has also said, "Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning."
As Americans we should not be giving awards to those who want us dead, and who demonstrate such racist beliefs.
