It’s not like a ton of Democrats weren’t already doing some hating on Israel and Jews since Hamas started the war, but, Democrats weren’t sufficiently hating on Israel and Jews
‘I hate Democrats, but I love Abdul’: voters who left over Gaza return for progressive push
Two years ago, Zainab Bibi Ahmed thought she had turned her back on the Democrats for good. Now, she is volunteering for the party’s US Senate nominee in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed.
Ahmed was one of 100,000 people to vote uncommitted in the February 2024 Democratic Michigan primary, in a bid to send a message to then US president Joe Biden about his support for Israel, as people watched what Amnesty International later called a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza on their screens.
That November, Ahmed – a resident of Troy, Michigan, and an academic staffer at Wayne State University – opted to vote for the Green party’s Jill Stein amid calls to punish Democrats over the administration’s support for Israel.
“I did not think I would come back to the Democratic party after 2024. I really didn’t. But then when I saw [New York City mayor] Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed, of course, and Shereef Akeel and Amir Makled,” Ahmed said, referencing two university regent candidates in the state, “I was like, OK, I cannot not support these gentlemen just because they’re Democrats.”
So, now that you have El-Sayed, and a bunch of other Islamic extremists/Israel haters/Jew haters, running for office as Democrats the imported Islamists are super happy and will vote for them.
Like Ahmed, Waqas Sarwar, a Dearborn resident, voted for Stein in 2024, but he was excited to cast his primary ballot for Democrats El-Sayed and Representative Rashida Tlaib this month.
“I hate Democrats, but I love Abdul,” Sarwar said.
Sarwar believes that the party needs to bring “fresh blood” like El-Sayed and that it should pivot on Israel and Aipac to align with young voters.
Fresh blood for the extremists
Michigan AG says she fears candidate El-Sayed is rationalizing terrorism, Jewish voters are torn
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Jewish Democrat, says in an interview that she fears the state’s Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, is rationalizing terrorism and that the party is ostracizing Jews.
After a terrorist attempted an attack earlier this year against a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan — Nessel’s hometown — El-Sayed linked the attack to the conflict in Lebanon and said, “Hurt people hurt people.”
“A lot of us perceived that as sort of making excuses for someone that sought to murder over 100 pre-K schoolchildren and that’s the kind of mentality that bothers me a lot,” Nessel tells The Atlantic’s David Frum.
It’s not making excuses, it’s that the Islamists like El-Sayed hate Jews.
Nessel tells Frum that Jews in Michigan are torn in El-Sayed’s race against Republican Mike Rogers, which could determine control of the Senate.
“We absolutely don’t want Mike Rogers to win. We absolutely want a Democratic majority in the Senate,” she says. “But is Abdul going to spend six years railing against Israel irrespective of who the government is there?”
Well, yes, but, he’s also going to spend 6 years denigrating Jews and pushing an Islamic radical agenda.
Reactionary christianist Teach lets fly at Dr El-Sayed for being a Muslim – A dirty, filthy, bloodthirsty, inhuman, Jew-hater!!
Much of the civilized world agrees that Israel has attempted genocide of Gaza Palestinians.
This recognition is not anti-semitism but is rather pro-human.
There needs to be a two-state solution, but Donny, JD, Jared (and their Big Tech controllers) are always looking for real estate for cheap – Gaza, Cuba, Venezuela, Greenland, Canada. They want cheap resources and real estate without oppressive U.S. laws!!

Is our esteemed host Christian? If he has stated so explicitly, I’ve missed it. He certainly supports Western civilization, and Western civilization springs in large part from Christianity, but the two are not the same. I think that I am the only one who comments here regularly who has specified his faith.
At least our advocate for Third Worlders didn’t use quotation marks to claim that our host called anyone “A dirty, filthy, bloodthirsty, inhuman, Jew-hater!!”, though you do have to read carefully.
Except, of course, even Hamas do not claim that there was a genocide, saying the death toll is around 76,000. But it is true that the ‘Palestinians’ have done very well persuading the simps and simple-minded that they are the victims, in a war that they started.
Hamas had lost the war just a month in, but still held the hostages, and Israel was not going to quit before all of the hostages were released. Israel did try negotiations, but Hamas still held out for two years. What do you think Israel should have done differently?
You who don’t want a “two-state solution”? Hamas do not want it! They’ve been very honest in saying that, but you won’t believe them. They’ve been building infrastructure for war all along, they’ve attacked piecemeal and then finally big time, all for that goal, showing what they want, but you just won’t believe them.
Well, the ‘Palestinians’ could have had their independent state, side-by-side with Israel, something to which Prime Minister Ehud Barak agreed, but Yassir Arafat rejected, supposedly because it didn’t contain the ‘right of return’ but actually because he knew he would be assassinated by the irredentists.
When Hezbollah attacked Israel, they weren’t attacking from occupied territory, but attacking Israel proper, directly from Lebanon.
What needs to be done, what should have been done at the end of the 1967 war, is for Israel to expel every last Arab from Gaza, Judea, and Samaria, creating shortened, more defensible borders, and allowing the ‘Palestinians’ to escape military occupation, living peaceably in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.
Of course, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon don’t want that, because everyplace the ‘Palestinians’ have gone, they’ve sown chaos.
Thing is, you knew all of that, but knowing it doesn’t lead you to believing it.
I’m a proud hillbilly from the Missouri Ozarks, not Arkansas. We look(ed) down our “sophisticated” noses at Arkansans!! We called bologna, “Arkansas steak”.
Yes, the Netanyahu coalition was trying to exterminate the Palestinians.
It is too simple by half to blame the Palestinians alone for the failure of two-state proposals. But you knew that.
irredentists! Thank you. I learned a new word!!

Dude, they had the agreement in hand, signed by Prime Minister Ehud Barak, attested to by President Bill Clinton, and Yassir Arafat turned it down. President Clinton said that it was the best deal the Arabs could ever have hoped to get; do you disagree with our 42nd President, even though he was one of those Arkansans?
Well, yes and no.
Although some people describe Israel’s Camp David proposal as practically a return to the 1967 borders, it was far from that. Under the plan, Israel would have withdrawn completely from the small Gaza Strip. But it would annex strategically important and highly valuable sections of the West Bank—while retaining “security control” over other parts—that would have made it impossible for the Palestinians to travel or trade freely within their own state without the permission of the Israeli government.
The annexations and security arrangements would divide the West Bank into three disconnected cantons. In exchange for taking fertile West Bank lands that happen to contain most of the region’s scarce water aquifers, Israel offered to give up a piece of its own territory in the Negev Desert—about one-tenth the size of the land it would annex—including a former toxic waste dump.
Because of the geographic placement of Israel’s proposed West Bank annexations, Palestinians living in their new “independent state” would be forced to cross Israeli territory every time they traveled or shipped goods from one section of the West Bank to another, and Israel could close those routes at will. Israel would also retain a network of so-called “bypass roads” that would crisscross the Palestinian state remaining sovereign Israeli territory, further dividing the West Bank.

President Clinton may have been correct, but that wouldn’t make it good for the Palestinians.
The good-hearted Mr Dowd wrote:
So, was rejecting it better for them? Mr Barak was basically giving to the Arabs what they had lost in war and didn’t have the strength to take back. And now, 25 years later, after Israel having completely withdrawn from Gaza in 2005, Hamas started a war they couldn’t win, some 76,000 Arabs have been sent to their eternal rewards, and significant parts of Gaza have been reduced to rubble.
No one really knows how much the tunnel system cost, but estimates are around a billion dollars. All that money, all that labor, all of that material could have helped raise standards of living in what is essentially a [insert slang term for feces here]hole non-country, because the Hamas leaders, who are smart even if some of them are just plain batguano insane, decided that was the way to go, and the what President Trump would call low IQ civilians just went along with it. A few of the Hamas bigwigs became billionaires, living it up in Doha, while the ordinary people and some of the less sane Hamas leadership were stuck in Gaza.
Hamas and Fatah have spent over a generation ‘educating’ children that Jews are subhuman animals and all deserve to be slaughtered, so much so that none of the hostages were helped by a single ‘Palestinian,’ and the civilians erupted in utter joy when Hamas dragged living and dead hostages through the streets, yet you believe that a two-state solution is the only one? How could Israel ever make peace with these people?
I get it: you really do believe, or at least want to believe, in the best of people, at least as long as they are not “reactionary Christianists” and MAGA voters. But it’s like the “Queers for Palestine” people, who cannot understand that third worlders simply do not think like civilized Westerners, and te ‘Palestinians’ and Islamists are about as third world as you can get.
“Much of the world agrees that Israel has attempted genocide on Gaza Palestinians…”. That’s because much of the world doesn’t know what genocide is. As said before, high causality counts don’t mean much-it’s the intent that counts. Countries committing genocide don’t pause warfare for hostage exchanges, nor do they provide medical help for children as Israel has done.
“It’s too simple by half to blame Palestinians alone for failure of the 2 state solution…”. And again, who are these Palestinians you speak of? There aren’t any. And very simple in the fact that they are totally to blame for the lack of a 2 state solution. Israel already gave them Gaza, and they showed their appreciation by turning it into a Muslim shit hole
El Sayed is a 3 to 2 favorite to win
Michigan will take a heavy hit from wacko Trump’s new trade ear against Canada. This will definitely help the Dems.
An important part of the SOROS plan is to keep triggering Trump. He can not control himself and makes stupid decisions
