Salah Sarsour was reportedly a Hamas activist and fundraised for the terror organization. Sarsour has promoted incitement and expressed support for terrorists and violent activists. He has also denied the Jewish connection to Jerusalem, spread hatred of Israel and praised leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB).

As of June 2021, Sarsour was listed as a board member of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) on the organization’s website. In 2019, Sarsour served as the chairman of AMP’s annual Palestine Convention. In 2018 and 2016, he also served as AMP’s chairman. In 2015 and 2014, he served as an AMP steering committee member.

Salah Sarsour has indicated on Facebook that anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour is a part of his “family.”

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned the views of former Women’s March co-chair Linda Sarsour, who has been repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism, after she participated in a Democratic National Convention council meeting on Tuesday. Sarsour, a Muslim activist who endorsed Biden after he announced Senator Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) as his running mate last week, spoke at the DNC’s “Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly” on Tuesday, sparking
disapproval in light of her history of controversial comments on Jews and Israel.

“Joe Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel and a vehement opponent of anti-Semitism his entire life, and he obviously condemns her views and opposes BDS, as does the Democratic platform,” Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said, according to CNN’s Jake Tapper. “She has no role in the Biden campaign whatsoever.” Bates then pointed out that the official Democratic platform says, “We oppose any effort to unfairly single out and delegitimize Israel, including at the United Nations or through the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement.”

Sarsour apologized in 2018 for failing to condemn anti-Semitism among march organizers and then stepped down from her role as co-chair one year later due to anti-Semitic comments. “Sarsour is the one who stands with terrorists and bigots, including Louis Farrakhan. Sarsour shared a platform with and praised Rasmea Odeh – a Palestinian-Arab terrorist responsible for murdering Jewish students; praised an Arab kid holding rocks to throw at Israelis as ‘the definition of courage,’ and tweeted her support for the intifada – the knifing, bombing and shooting campaigns in which Palestinian-Arab terrorists murdered and maimed 12,000 Jews,” a Zionist Organization of America statement said in August 2019.
