WATCH: Linda Sarsour Calls for Replacing the Declaration of Independence

Jul 17, 2026·2 min read

Linda Sarsour, the anti-Zionist firebrand viewed by many Jewish groups as a straight-up antisemite, called for replacing the Declaration of Independence during the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.

The video, taken during Ramadan last winter, has recently surfaced and was posted Friday on social media by Jewish groups.

“This is the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,” Sarsour said. “This is, quote unquote, America’s birthday, and the question historically is going to be: What were we doing on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence? Do we have the audacity to sit around and say that we want to build a document that is our values and our principles and bring millions of Americans around it?”

The activist said she sees minorities, the marginalized, and people of color meeting the moment and saying, “‘I’m the leader that I’ve been waiting for,’ and seeing people rally around those leaders. And so, don’t give up hope, folks.”

Sarsour concluded her video statement with the words, “We will win.”

The anti-Zionist agitator has a history of being accused of inflammatory antisemitic rhetoric by mainstream Jewish groups, including the Anti-Defamation League and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law.

For example, Sarsour banned Jewish women from the Women’s March in 2017, contending that Zionism is incompatible with feminism. She has called Zionism “creepy.” And she supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement, whose goal is to eliminate the State of Israel.

Sarsour has also said that the strategy Muslims should take against Israel must avoid “humanizing” Israelis (the “oppressors”). She has led anti-Israel protests in which she led chants to block weapons sales to Israel. She has also said she would be proud to die a martyr. As a result of her anti-Israel activity, Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs, Amichai Chikli, barred Linda Sarsour from entry into Israel in June.
