Michigan Rabbis Fear Upcoming Democratic State | Political News
As more and more Democratic Socialist candidates win primaries, their anti-Israel rhetoric will get louder and more pronounced. American Jews have historically been a dependable voting bloc for Democrats. But as the get together embraces new candidates who appear to have no love for Israel, Jewish leaders have gotten more and more involved.
Q: “Are Jews no longer welcome in the Democrat party in Michigan?”

The latest major victory of Abdul El-Sayed has Jewish leaders in Michigan sharing that concern. So a lot so that on Monday, a number of of those leaders despatched a petition to the Michigan Democratic Party, asking for assurance of the security of Jewish delegates at the conference. The petition, signed by roughly 200 leaders, comes in the wake of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, saying that she wouldn’t attend the conference. The petition read in half:
We imagine you need to make it clear, publicly, that anybody who chases, screams at, or in any other case harasses Jews at your conference might be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The petition also talked about Nessel’s assertion and added, “If Jews — including the highest-ranking Jewish state official in Michigan — are intimidated into staying away from your convention, it will not stop there.” Rabbis from a number of denominations, including those of the Reform, Conservative, and Humanistic, signed on to the petition.
Abdul El-Sayed shouldn’t be a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), but he repeats a lot of their rhetoric on Israel. After his victory, he told Jewish voters in Michigan, “My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters.” Quite a distinction to his past statements, such as calling Israel “genocidal and apartheid,” and refusing to say Israel has the suitable to exist. In March, after an assault on a synagogue in Detroit, he didn’t condemn the assault; he tried to justify it. He has also incessantly campaigned with far-left Israel critic Hasan Piker.
This is sick. The a Democrat get together now has an unmistakable coverage; “Jews not welcome.”
Even for their own elected officers.
The Jew hate is now so dangerous that the sitting Democrat AG in Michigan is AFRAID TO ATTEND HER OWN PARTY’S CONVENTION.

Do Michigan Jews have a cause to really feel uneasy? Many suppose so. Michigan State Rep. Noah Arbit (D-West Bloomfield), who is Jewish, said:
“I hope I have the opportunity to meet with Abdul El-Sayed soon to communicate my deep concerns about some of the rhetoric of his campaign and the impact it has had on members of the Jewish community I represent and that he hopes to represent.”
But one Detroit-area Jewish voter put it a lot more bluntly, saying, “It is just a scary time right now.”

Jewish Democrats afraid to attend their own conference is just the latest in a string of points Abdul El-Sayed’s candidacy brings to Democrats. My colleague, Ward Clark, reported that El-Sayed’s tenure as Detroit’s Health Director — more particularly, his animal control division has been revealed to be less than fascinating, main to an worker calling it a “dog slaughterhouse.” Politically, issues don’t seem to be enhancing for El-Sayed either. My colleague Sister Toldjah has reported that El-Sayed’s ballot numbers should not wanting good. El-Sayed’s opponent, Republican Mike Rogers, at present holds a 51-to-47 % lead over El-Sayed, who shouldn’t be doing effectively with key voting blocs like black voters, ladies, and suburban voters.
After his major win, El-Sayed appeared to attempt to tone down the anti-Israel rhetoric, calling Jewish voters his “Jewish American sisters and brothers.” But it is likely to be too little too late for Abdul El-Sayed, as Michigan’s Jewish voters could have already seen what actually lurks beneath the floor.
Abdul loves his Jewish brothers and sisters so a lot that he doesn’t know Jews don’t eat bread during Passover (particularly not at a Seder). And the shuls he references… the rabbis are voting for Mike Rogers. Abdul is an existential risk to Michigan Jews. pic.twitter.com/2XuHig3Qqq
