Following his victory in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, Abdul El-Sayed drew widespread criticism for separating AIPAC and Israel from Judaism. U.S. President Donald Trump reacted sharply, labeling El-Sayed a "communist loser" who hates Israel and the Jewish people.


Abdul El-Sayed, who won the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, sparked outrage yesterday (Wednesday) during a campaign event in the state after wrapping his flattery toward Jews in hatred toward Israel: “I love Judaism, and I love the Jewish people. AIPAC and Israel are not synonymous with Judaism and the Jewish people. I call that garbage.”

Meanwhile, political analysts in the United States point out that the primary factor behind El-Sayed’s victory is the large Arab-American community residing in Michigan, where deep hostility toward Israel exists. The results of these elections are expected to dramatically impact the future of the Democratic Party and provoke a fierce debate regarding the power of its anti-Israel wing ahead of the 2028 presidential election.

U.S. President Donald Trump reacted to El-Sayed’s victory, claiming it was actually “great news for the Republican Party”: “El-Sayed, the communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the expected winner in his race with the socialist. As usual, the polls were way off on this issue. She wasn’t expected to do nearly as well as she did. Now, the Democrats’ crazy policies will only get worse!”

He added: “Abdul El-Sayed is a hate-filled man. He doesn’t like Israel. He doesn’t like Jews. He hates them with a passion burning in his heart. There is nothing he can do about it, because he hates them.”
