The event, at which JTA was the only media outlet given permission to attend, underscored the tension that has become increasingly difficult for Jewish Democrats, in Michigan and beyond, to reconcile: whether party candidates have earned the vote of their Jewish constituents when those candidates won’t commit to supporting Israel’s existence as a Jewish state, or haven’t taken what community members feel is a strong enough stance against antisemitism.
El-Sayed shared the room with some party figures who have sharply opposed him, and who the state’s Jewish Democrats hold in high esteem. The caucus event honored state Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish and who has had public disagreements with El-Sayed over his handling of Jewish communal issues.
In her own speech, Nessel acknowledged that Jews were being forced into a “stark choice” thanks to “members of our own party who seek the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state and place the Jewish diaspora in jeopardy.”
I hate how race and religion are always conflated.
I have no problem with Jewish people, I hope there comes a day where they are welcome everywhere.
As living beings, we cannot tolerate Judaism or any other death cult.
Not all Jewish people are judaist. Not all judaists are Jewish. Pretending otherwise helps protect zionists.
Why are Israel and Palestine such a big deal? Because someone said god promised land to them.
That’s really fucking stupid. We have no evidence that any god even exists, let alone what they are like or what they said. The bible is a contradictory mess, literally unbelievable. Yes, even before christianity hijacked it.
No, I’m not anti-semitic or racist. People from anywhere can tell lies. People from everywhere should correct them instead of repeating them or ignoring them.
This shit ruined my life and is still killing people every day. When are we going to stop fucking around? Will adults ever act like adults? Magic isn’t real, for fuck’s sake.
