Wow: The entire Democratic establishment is rallying behind Abdul El-Sayed, who just called on Americans to “realize that Israel is not our friend.”
Indeed, the Michigan Senate candidate is plainly where the whole party is headed on this front.
“The Israeli military has done heinous things,” El-Sayed (falsely) claims — “full war crimes, genocide” — so the Jewish state can never be our ally under any leader.
Among those campaigning for him is former President Barack Obama, who similarly smeared Israelis last week, accusing them (also falsely) of stealing Arab land as they founded their nation — a sickening bid to excuse anti-Israel terrorism that parallels El-Sayed’s “hurt people hurt people” excuse for attempted slaughter at a Jewish day school in Michigan.
Of course, Obama has been long played to the Israel-hating Third-Worldist crowd; recall his absurd apology tour in his first months in office, as well as the cockeyed bid to make Iran our chief Middle East partner that produced his 2015 nuke deal, paving Tehran’s path to nuclear weapons even as it sent the regime pallets of cash and hundreds of billions in sanctions relief.
But Sen. Chuck Schumer, who opposed that deal, is also backing El-Sayed; a Chuck-aligned super PAC is sending $30 million to his campaign.
El-Sayed’s sympathies are nothing new: When Israel eliminated Iran’s evil Ayatollah Ali Khamenei this year, he conveyed the sadness “of a lot of people in Dearborn.”
He’s also opposed the US-Israel war to stop Iran from getting nukes, and blames Israel for (supposedly) pushing President Donald Trump into it.
Meanwhile, he excuses antisemitic terror and dodges about his Muslim Brotherhood ties.
Anti-Israel, anti-West lunacy is now mainstream in the Democratic Party, to the point where Schumer, who for decades proclaimed himself Israel’s protector in Congress, is willing to sell out the Jewish state to an unabashed Israel-hater so Dems can hold one Senate seat.
It’s positively perverse: Israel is not America’s enemy; just the opposite — it’s one of our most important allies, sharing absolutely vital intelligence that protects our interests throughout the region.
And it’s the front line in the Islamists’ war on civilization: Since Oct. 7, 2023, the Jewish state sacrificed more than 1,300 soldiers in its war against anti-Western jihadis and Iranian Islamists.
Across the West, a vast propaganda campaign assailed Israel for its post-Oct. 7 self-defense, piling on the “war crimes” and “genocide” lies — which much of the Democratic Party soon parroted.
Democratic “moderates” fudged by pretending Netanyahu is the problem, but now they’re taking the next step by siding with El-Sayed, who says the problem is Israel itself.
