Meanwhile, Sarsour and gang might want to hold off on the (non-alcoholic) champagne:
An ADL spokesperson dismissed the protesters as misguided.
“We are not sure what they are celebrating,” the organization said in a statement to the Forward. “The program is on pause due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic — not because of outrageous and false claims made by radical anti-Israel activists.”
