108. Yes, it is

Here's an article that might help you understand the issue:

It’s Time for Intersectionality to Include the Jews

For the last several days, leftist activist Linda Sarsour has dominated my Facebook feed. In an interview with The Nation, Sarsour insinuated that the feminist movement ought to exclude Zionists. The interview has stoked a larger conversation about the leadership positions of people like Sarsour, who has long advocated for economic warfare (BDS) against Israel, and Rasmea Odeh, a convicted terrorist who actively participated in the murder of two Jewish students at Hebrew University, in intersectional justice movements in America.

Yet again, progressive Jewish activists have been left wondering whether or not we have a place in those movements. We dealt with some of the same questions after the Movement for Black Lives came out with its own platform that falsely accused Israel of “genocide,” and we will undoubtedly confront these issues many times in the future. At the end of the day, however, no matter what the Sarsours of the world say, Jewish issues do belong in the intersectional justice movement. That’s because anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are both serious intersectional problems, and any truly intersectional movement ought to tackle them.

The problem is not intersectional theory. It’s intersectional activists who fail to adhere to it.

That last sentence of the excerpt is the key to the point I am making. The problem is not the concept - the problem is that people define it however they want to define it. In the case of the issues raised in the OP, it is with relation to excluding Jews.

At least try to be open minded enough to understand how this all ties together.
