Abdul is the one who campaigned with notorious antisemitic Communist Hasan Piker, and it's Rogers who is divisive? LOL.
As I followed pro-El-Sayed Jewish canvasses, I found evidence that Rogers’s ethnic divide-and-conquer strategy was working with at least some Jews. Some expressed outright fear, with one saying that “if Abdul wins, there’s going to be another Holocaust.” jewishcurrents.org/in-michig…

I'm not inclined to inherently credit or debit a president for everything that happens when they are president, but Acker's claim isn't true, at least not according to ADL stats. There was a huge rise in antisemitic incidents in 2023 and 2024, and a drop in 2025. On the one hand the increase resulted for a coordinated antisemitic campaign after 10/7. OTOH, the Biden administration did next to nothing to combat this campaign, and both Biden and Harris expressed empathy for those involved in it.
Antisemitic incidents have increased significantly since Donald Trump was elected president. As an undecided Michigan voter, that's a key fact when it comes to "Jewish safety"

Cue the grainy video of a Jew in Italy in 1936 talking how the most important thing is to make sure the trains keep running on time.
This Jewish Democrat is talking about the importance of voting for Dr Abdul El-Sayed not just as a Jewish woman but as a woman who wants the right to make decisions about her body freely. She speaks about equitable housing practices, basic rights to healthcare and food, which will be denied because of Mike Rogers and his policies.

Even @nytimes has finally caught up, though it can’t help trying to mitigate with some editorializing.

I don't know of any Jewish person in politics, government, advocacy, or entertainment who has embraced, coddled, befriended, and protected people who wants to destroy American Jewish Institutions more than Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders is why antisemitism is spreading on the DSA left. Especially because he is Jewish, this sort of conspiratorial nonsense--as if AIPAC tells Trump what to do--is like manna to antisemites.
AIPAC is now spending as much as $9 million against Abdul El-Sayed. AIPAC is why we’re at war in Iran. AIPAC is why the U.S. has supported genocide in Gaza. We must say NO to AIPAC. YES to electing Abdul as Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.

Israel tortured the other participants in the photo op—by making them spend the rest of the day with Brad Lander.
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

Where are enraged French students when they are needed?
"Gosh, why are the mummy displays so dark and opaque? Must be the lights are broken. I should go tell them downstairs," I thought to myself while recently wandering around the Redpath Museum at McGill University. Then I read the sign. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Here is El-Sayed accusing Israel of genocide (without using the word) … in 2021.

I love how Shadi is pretending that he's never heard "politics makes strange bedfellows.' More specifically, the Communists in Iran allied with the Khomeinists. How can that be? In Europe, Islamists and far leftist secularists routinely ally, so much so that the phrase "red-green alliance" was invented to describe it. How can that be? Maybe because you don't have to fully, or at all, agree with Islamist ideology to think that Islamists gaining power will serve your political interests.
Abdul supports LGBTQ rights and seems fine with the participation of trans athletes in female sports. If he supports the Muslim Brotherhood's ideology, he sure has a weird way of showing it.

"We did not pass any checkpoints." Lander inadvertently reveals that contrary to the sort of propaganda he himself puts out, there aren't ubiquitous checkpoints in the West Bank.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying. No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints. Palestinian farmers do not — and should not — need permits to harvest their own olive fields. But they fear doing so, because the IDF doesn’t protect them from settler violence. We’re trying to model solidarity & co-existence between Jews and Palestinians, and to call attention to the horrors of the occupation. The Israeli government is trying to foment violence between Jews and Palestinians, and to make it impossible for Palestinians to harvest their olive groves, drive on their roads, or live in their homes.

"Japan attacked Pearl Harbor for 12 hours, and then was repulsed. The US was going to be fine. ..."
Disgusting: U.N. rapporteur on counterterrorism Ben Saul condemns Israel for waging a “vengeful war” against Hamas: “Hamas invaded Israel for 48 hours, and then was repulsed. Israel was going to be fine...”

A Jew can never be hostile enough to Israel for the Farooq Zafar's of the world.
Replying to @israelispeaceny
Reminder: Zionist Congressional candidate Brad Lander (D-NY) whose latest stunt comprises a Western savior complex "protective presence" trip to the Occupied West Bank, invested millions in city pension funds as NYC Comptroller into Elbit Systems (primary IDF supplier), which means he provided material support for the Palestinian genocide's ongoing livestreamed extermination campaign. Think of it this way: Lander helped pay for the bullets that shot 5-year-old Hind Rajab 355 times, and countless innocent children like her. Further, Lander opposes BDS, affirms RTE, condemns armed struggle (inalienable human right, UN Resolution 3246), defends refusing divestment, and happily takes donations from Zionist outfit J Street (AIPAC Lite). Antizionists who campaign, canvass, endorse, launder, normalize, sanitize, and vote for this ghoul must be called out and critiqued without exception. Stop falling for the "of all Nazis, he's least Hitlerian" lesser evil BS.

Another example of America's descent into Idiocracy.
Abdul El-Sayed on the Second Amendment: "When they promised the right to bear arms, they had muskets. So, yeah, everyone should have equal rights to a musket."

I hope the mom reported this to the police and the FBI. I see too many cases in which things are reported to school authorities when the first order of business should be to contact law enforcement.

One of my dumbest blocks, because I pointed out that it's illogical to judge the political views of tens of thousands of Michigan Jews based on a handful of yard signs.

80K Jews, and you are judging by 23 yard signs, many of which are likely not in Jews' yards. Really?
