the Women's March and Its Stand on Israel and Palestine

By Gldmeier @gldmeier

A lot is being made about the women's march in the USA and the connection the founders have to anti-Zionist and BDS groups and individuals, along with the anti-semitism of the founders and organizers themselves with a clear and overt anti-semitic message.
What I do not get is why a group marching for women's rights has to take a stand on the Israel-Palestine conflict or on anti-semitism and Jews at all. What is the relevance? Can't they just march for women's rights and make their agenda completely and entirely about the goal of their organization being women's rights? 
I see all this discussion online about this group and their events and how they relate to Jews and Israel and I just don't get why they get involved in these issues at all as it seems to me to be so off-topic for them.
