Dem El-Sayed on His Criticism of Israel: ‘I Love and Revere Judaism’ and the Jewish People, They’re a Light on to the World

RUSH EXCERPT:
EL-SAYED: "I love and revere judaism and the Jewish people. I believe they are a light on to the world. I grew up in a community that had a large Jewish population, I was so grateful to get to be invited to seder and bat mitzvahs. I’m honored in what I got to share with my Jewish sisters and brothers, but they are not the same as aipac and Israel. Aipac is an organization that spent $30 million to beat me so that they could have one vote, one more vote in the U.S. Senate to guarantee that our taxpayer dollars would be sent abroad to subsidize a foreign government’s military, to do the rst things, genocide, apartheid, take us into wars we have no business fighting. I believe that we have a responsibility here in Michigan. I want our tax dollars sent to provide good schools, to pay for healthcare, to rebuild our roads here in Michigan rather than it being sent abroad to subsidize foreign militaries. That’s not justice real, by the way, that is also Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Pakistan. I believe in international law. I believe in equal rights to peace to determine for all people, I believe in a process that allows a pre Palestinian and Jewish people to come together. I believe that our tax dollars should be spent on the things that are needed here in Michigan rather than to subsidize foreign militaries abroad."
