As of early Wednesday morning, a crowdfunding campaign started by Muslim activists had raised over $70,000 in an effort to help repair a vandalized Jewish cemetery near St. Louis, Missouri.
"Muslim Americans stand in solidarity with the Jewish-American community to condemn this horrific act of desecration against the Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery," read the crowdfunding campaign's website, which was spearheaded by Muslim-American activists Linda Sarsour and Tarek El-Messidi. "We also extend our deepest condolences to all those who have been affected and to the Jewish community at large."
The effort comes after more than 170 headstones were damaged late Sunday or early Monday at Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery, located in the St. Louis suburb of University City, according to a report by the Associated Press on Tuesday.
As of early Wednesday morning, the LaunchGood-hosted campaign had raised more than $58,000, far surpassing the original $20,000 fundraising goal that the organizers said had been met in just three hours.

Guilt trip?
Publicity stunt?
or Cover up?
Seventy grand was all they could come up with? As Charlie Rangel would say, “That’s chump change”.
Wolves tending to the sheep.
Choice B. They feel no guilt.
Publicity stunt. This is spearheaded by the professional manipulator Linda Sarsour, born of Palestinian parents. She was one of the big mouths at the “Womens’ March” in DC. I would not trust her as far as I could throw her.
All three,they should refuse the money. Tell them to put the money in a fund for the victims of Muslim treachery.
Don’t accept the money; get help from other sources.
Ditto.
They were obviously paid to do it the first place. This entire national anti-semitism nonsense has been coordinated by Soros
Publicity stunt, most likely.
Or, perhaps this group is made up of the long-fabled (and welcome) MINOs (Muslims in Name Only), and really means it.
uh huh. So are they also ready to recognize Israel as a Jewish state?

Or maybe just people doing nice things for others? Like when the mosque was burned in Texas recently. Local Jewish community opened their synagogue for them and raised money to help them rebuild.
I would like to think that, but I believe Linda Sarsour wants to bring Sharia law to the US. Sorry, but that makes her untrustworthy in my book.
Taqiyya
While I am wary of their religion, I don’t believe all Muslims are evil. This was a good deed and should be accepted as such.
Leftists did it. Probably college students
Well they have to have a place to put all of those dead Jews that the Muslims kill.
After years of being a news junkie... this is the very first time I’ve read of such thing. Pleasantly surprised.
